Choosing the Setting for an Engagement Ring

Sizing up the perfect diamond to suit your taste and budget

While on your quest for the perfect diamond, a common misconception of “bigger is better” should be addressed. If you can afford the biggest diamond, then by all means… go for it! Diamonds are a great investment that is only going up in value. However, most people should know that there are alternative ways to achieve a “big” look without seeming ostentatious.

A one carat diamond solitaire is still the best-selling diamond engagement ring on the planet, however some of the more popular settings of today also have a glimmering blend of smaller diamonds surrounding the main center stone to create a ‘big look’. You no longer have to settle for just one style with so many thousands of settings there are available.

Some say you should spend at least two months’ salary to buy a diamond engagement ring. At Gold Craft Jewellery, we say there is no “minimum” or “maximum” when it comes to love. The gesture of a marriage proposal in and of itself is the most important factor when it comes to choosing the engagement ring.

The best advice we can give any customer is, buy whatever you can afford! Whether that is two weeks salary or six months’ salary, there is no price on the sentimental value on the ring you will choose from Gold Craft Jewellery. We offer exquisite engagement rings with settings that range from solitaire; to glitzy all-decked-out diamond rings. You choose the one that is best for you, and we’re here to celebrate your momentous occasion!
