Guide

Setting A Budget

A good starting point on your journey to selecting and committing to an engagement ring, is with your budget. Early decisions around this will help you select the perfect ring at the right price.

Budget

Where To Begin

You may well have heard the old adage that an engagement ring should cost the equivalent of three months' salary. You probably haven’t heard that this guideline is based upon a 1940's marketing campaign created by an advertising house, under instruction from the largest diamond producer in the world!

Every engagement ring is a one-off, will last a lifetime and symbolises a very special union. Every couple is unique also, and while there are handy guidelines, there are no hard and fast rules. This is the start to your forever perfect engagement story.

The Perfect Style

Before setting your budget, be familiar with the different styles available and their costs. The cost of the setting is only part of the complete ring - so be sure to leave space in your budget for a beautiful diamond, and the most perfect setting. The below collections feature popular designs that include Halo, Solitaire, Accent and Trilogy styles.
