Her Ring Size

Finding the right ring size can be tricky, but these tips help:

• Ask one of her close friends and keep it a secret
  
• Borrow one of her rings and have it measured by a jeweller
  
• Trace a ring and use a printable or free online ring sizer
  
• Take her “ring shopping” disguised as a gift hunt for someone else
  

If you are unsure, it is usually safer to go slightly larger since rings can be resized down more easily than up.

Ramzi & Co.® also offers a Free Ring Sizer and Printable Ring Sizer to help you get the perfect fit at home.

Setting Your Budget

There is no fixed rule that an engagement ring should cost two months’ salary. The right budget is what feels comfortable for you.

Ways to maximise value:

• Buy directly from jewellers who source at origin
• Consider diamonds just under popular carat weights (e.g. 1.8ct instead of 2.0ct)
• Balance clarity and carat to suit your budget
• Focus on cut quality for maximum brilliance

By working directly with source suppliers, Ramzi & Co.® engagement rings are typically 30% to 40% more affordable than traditional retail pricing.

Understanding the 4Cs (Diamond Guide)

The 4Cs are Cut, Colour, Clarity, and Carat. They are the global standard for evaluating diamonds, including both natural and lab-grown diamonds.

Cut

Cut determines brilliance and sparkle. It is the most important factor in visual beauty.
Recommended: Good or higher

Colour

Colour ranges from D (colourless) to Z (light yellow).
Recommended: J or higher for best value

Clarity

Clarity measures internal characteristics called inclusions. Most are invisible to the naked eye.
Recommended: SI2 or higher
Scale: I3 → FL (Flawless)

Carat

Carat refers to weight, not actual size appearance. A well-cut diamond can appear larger than its weight suggests.

Tip: Slightly lower carat weights often offer better value without a noticeable visual difference.

Choosing the Right Metal

The metal you choose should match her personal style and everyday jewellery.

Platinum

A premium metal known for strength, durability, and hypoallergenic properties. Naturally white and long-lasting.

Yellow Gold (18K & 14K)

Classic and timeless. 18K offers a richer colour, while 14K provides added durability and value.

White Gold (18K & 14K)

Modern and elegant with a bright finish created using rhodium plating. May require re-plating over time.

Rose Gold (18K & 14K)

Romantic and warm with a soft pink tone. Highly durable and increasingly popular.

Popular Engagement Ring Styles

Solitaire

A single diamond in a classic setting. Minimal, elegant, and timeless.

Halo

A centre diamond surrounded by smaller diamonds to enhance sparkle and perceived size.

Side-Stone

Diamonds set along the band to add extra brilliance and detail.

Three-Stone

Represents your past, present, and future with three beautifully balanced stones.

Vintage

Inspired by antique designs with intricate detailing, milgrain, and filigree craftsmanship.

Diamond Shapes

Popular diamond shapes include:
Round, Princess, Oval, Cushion, Pear, Emerald, Marquise, Asscher, Radiant, and Heart.

Each shape offers a unique personality, from timeless brilliance (Round) to modern elegance (Oval and Emerald).

Choosing a Gemstone

While diamonds remain the traditional choice, many couples are now choosing alternative gemstones, including:

• Lab-grown diamonds (ethical, modern, and identical in structure to natural diamonds)
• Sapphire engagement rings
• Morganite rings
• Tanzanite rings
• Emerald and other coloured gemstones

Lab diamonds are a popular choice for couples who want exceptional beauty with greater value and sustainability.
