Steps to buying the perfect engagement ring 💍

We’d love to share this quick guide to help you find the perfect engagement ring for you and your partner.

Step 1: Do your research

Start by paying attention to what your partner likes — what kind of jewelry they usually wear, their personal style, and any hints they might have dropped. This will give you a clearer idea of the kind of design that will truly make them fall in love.

Also, engagement rings come in a wide variety of designs, price ranges, materials, and customization options — so doing a bit of research will help you make a more confident decision when choosing where to buy.

Step 2: Set your budget

Here’s our advice: You don’t need to go into lifelong debt to buy a beautiful, high-quality engagement ring.

Choose a budget that feels comfortable for you — once you have that in place, it will be much easier to find stunning options within your range.

Step 3: Remember — your partner is the one who will wear the ring

This is something many people overlook at the beginning of their search. But truthfully, the goal is to find a design your partner will love. That’s why Step 1 is key: the more you know their style, the easier it will be to choose a ring that’s perfect for them.

Step 4: Choose the metal

Here’s where you start thinking about color, durability, and quality. At Pedra, we usually recommend gold or silver for engagement rings — both are durable and timeless options, and they can be adjusted to fit your budget and your partner’s style.

Step 5: Choose the gemstone

Diamonds are the most traditional choice — they’re durable, valuable, and incredibly beautiful. But remember, this is a ring your partner will wear every day for the rest of their life. If emeralds, sapphires, or rubies are more their vibe, those can also be amazing choices!

Step 6: Pick the size and cut

Size and cut are the two factors that most affect price. Larger stones and unique cuts typically cost more — but bigger isn’t always better. Other things like clarity, color, weight, and inclusions (natural marks in the stone) also matter. A well-balanced stone can be much more special than just a big one.

Step 7: Don’t forget the ring size!

This is one of the trickiest steps — especially if you want to keep it a surprise. Two tips that usually work:

Option one: borrow a ring your partner wears regularly and use it as a reference.

Option two: ask a close friend for help — it’s usually not suspicious for friends to talk about these things. 😉

Step 8: Personalization

Many rings can be engraved with a short, meaningful message inside. Because space is limited, consider a date, initials, or a place that means something special to you both. It’s a subtle touch, but full of meaning.

Step 9: Warranty and certification

This is important — it’s a big investment, both financially and emotionally. Make sure wherever you buy the ring, they offer a guarantee on the materials and a certificate for the gemstone’s authenticity.

And finally…

Choose the ring with love, care, and intention — it will be a symbol of your love and the beginning of something beautiful. 💛
