Selecting an engagement ring is part of a much larger decision that goes far beyond jewelry, tradition, or money. Making this commitment indicates that you've already made quite a journey. Our staff will simplify this part of the process by utilizing our years of experience to help you find the perfect engagement ring.

Here are the steps we recommend in selecting your engagement ring:

Step 1: Establish Your Budget
The generally excepted rule of thumb is that a man should spend roughly two months' salary on a diamond engagement ring. While this is certainly not a law, many men agree with this spending recommendation, and in the minds of many women it's become an accepted standard. However, we recommend that, before you commit to your budget, you familiarize yourself with what is available so that in the end, you get the best engagement ring for your budget.

Step 2: Learn About Diamonds
First understand the four C’s of diamond evaluation: Carat, Color, Clarity, and Cut. By understanding these aspects you can determine which traits are most important to you. You can find the balance that best suits your needs. Each of these factors affects the price of your diamond and should the4refore be considered fully.

Step 3: Build Your Engagement Ring
Once you select a diamond that matches your budget and preferences in terms of the four Cs you need to select your setting. Begin by browsing a variety of different styles that will fit your diamond. This also is a decision based on preference and style. By viewing several styles that fit your diamond you can quickly narrow the process down to a setting that matches your needs and will stay in style for generations.
