Engagement ring shopping can be a nightmare, or, the best shopping experience you'll ever have. Whether you're just engaged (and picking your own ring), or just dreaming, take your pick from this sparkly selection...
Engagement rings: So you think you know what you want…
For some of us, dreaming about the perfect shape, colour, stone and clarity have been a permanent fixation ever since we can remember, and you might think that would make life easier? Not so much. You can picture it and even describe it, but you haven’t been able to track down the real deal just yet. Sigh.
For others, the thought has never even crossed your minds, meaning you need plenty of inspiration to find ‘the one.’ There’s colourful and traditional, vintage or new-age and then there’s stone size? But rest assured you’ll know it when you see it.
To help you on your way to finding that truly individual sparkler, we’ve carefully edited 25 of the chicest styles, that are seriously worth the spend.
