The Laings Journal
Christmas is one of the most popular times of year for proposals and rightfully so, love is in the air, and there's a touch of magic to the season. Are you thinking of shopping for an engagement ring this year?
Thinking of proposing this Christmas? It can feel like a lot of pressure, but we’re here to help. There are a few things to keep in mind when shopping for an engagement ring, so let’s go back to basics with our top tips.
Know Your Budget
The variety of engagement rings on offer can be overwhelming, but having an idea of how much you would like to and can afford to spend can really help to narrow down your search. With so many different cuts and sizes available, we can help you choose the perfect piece to fit your budget, no matter what you're looking for. We also offer Interest Free Finance to help you secure the ring of her dreams. Check out our options HERE.
Nothing But the Best
When it comes to diamonds, it is important to consider the quality of the stone. There are four main factors that are used when grading a diamond's quality, known as the 4C's; Cut, Carat, Colour, and Clarity, and they are what really matters. You can read all about it HERE. Whilst other diamonds on the market may be cut purely for their perceived size, Laings diamonds are always cut to optimise their brilliance, making you diamond sparkle and shine.
Always Buy from an Established Jeweller
We cannot stress enough the importance of buying quality and ethically sourced diamonds. Buying from an established and responsible jeweller like Laings can give you peace of mind that you're receiving only the best quality of product. We have 180 years of experience in the industry and really know our stuff. Buying from an established jeweller also means that we can offer the aftercare that your ring deserves.
Think About Her Style
It can be difficult to choose the perfect ring for someone else; however, there are ways to make it easier. Try to remember if she has hinted at any specific styles or shapes previously and note them down, so you don't forget. You can also ask a friend or family member to find out as much as they can about what she likes. Maybe even get them to subtly look in shop windows and point out their favourites, they can then simply pass on the info to you.
