HOW TO CHOOSE THE PERFECT ENGAGEMENT RING FOR YOUR PROPOSAL?

Proposing marriage is a unique moment. And at the heart of this moment is a
jewel: the engagement ring. But how can you be sure to make the right choice? How do you find THE ring she'll love to wear all her life?
Here are our jeweler's tips for choosing the ideal engagement ring.

 

1. OBSERVE HER STYLE: THE FIRST ESSENTIAL REFLEX

Before talking about carats or budget, take the time to observe her style.

- Does she prefer yellow gold, white gold, or rose gold?
- Are her jewels delicate and discreet, or larger and more assertive?
- Does she like modern, minimalist, or rather vintage style?

These are important details that will help you choose the right ring. For
example, a woman with a refined style will often prefer a simple solitaire. A woman who
likes jewelry with character might be attracted to a halo ring or a more elaborate model.
The secret is to choose a ring that suits her, rather than a "trendy" model.

 

2. THE CHOICE OF STONE

Diamond, the most chosen stone

Diamond is currently the most chosen stone for an engagement ring, because it
symbolizes strength and eternity. Thanks to its robustness, it is very suitable for daily wear.

Alternatives to diamond

Although it is now the most popular choice for future fiancés, diamond has not always been the essential stone for engagement rings. For a long time, sapphires, rubies, or emeralds were also chosen, each stone carrying its own symbolism.
- Ruby, with its deep red, embodies passion and ardent love.
- Emerald, with its intense green, symbolizes renewal and harmony.
- Sapphire is associated with fidelity, loyalty, and sincerity.

So many strong meanings explain why these precious stones remain today
ideal alternatives to diamond.

 

3. DEFINE A BUDGET

There is no universal rule on the price to spend on an engagement ring.
The essential thing is to choose quality gold (ideally 18 carats), a solid setting, and a harmonious stone.

 

4. SOLITAIRE, HALO, OR A MORE ORIGINAL RING?

Faced with the diversity of styles, it is natural to hesitate. Each model has its own character, and the choice depends above all on the personality of the wearer.

The solitaire remains the great classic of the engagement ring: a central diamond, highlighted by a simple setting. It is a timeless style.

The halo ring, for its part, enhances a central stone with a circle of small
diamonds. Its rendering is brighter.

Finally, vintage models attract with their unique character. They bring a touch of history and a true identity to the jewel.

 

5. RING SIZE: HOW TO FIND IT?

You don't know your future fiancée's ring size? Rest assured, this is a very common situation. Several simple solutions are available to you: discreetly borrow a ring she already wears (be careful to choose the right hand), ask a close friend or family member for advice, or plan an adjustment after the proposal.

At Fremont, all rings (even vintage ones) can be adjusted. The first resizing is offered for all rings purchased in our jewelry store.

 

IN SUMMARY: THE IDEAL RING IS THE ONE THAT RESEMBLES HER

Choosing an engagement ring is not just buying a piece of jewelry, it's symbolizing a promise. Take the time to observe, to inquire, and above all, to be accompanied by a trusted jeweler.
And remember that the perfect ring is not the most expensive or the most trendy. It's the one that will best tell your story.
