Begin by establishing a guide price for your desired purchase. Setting a budget will narrow down your options and assist in making decisions regarding carat size, clarity, and cut. It's worth noting that lab-made diamond engagement rings are more affordable than their mined counterparts, yet they are indistinguishable in quality.

Consider which engagement ring styles you and your partner prefer. Vintage, classic, or contemporary? Take into account your existing wardrobe, jewelry, and style. The ring should reflect personality and tradition. Factors like the setting and band play a role.

Select your diamond now. Begin with the shape – which influences the ring style – then understand diamond classifications. The shape affects the size, weight, and quality of the stone you choose.

It’s important to get the size of your engagement ring right from the start, as it may be harder to resize certain styles later on. You can measure size by checking an existing ring, or by measuring your finger. Thankfully with Olivia Green, you can secure your ring style and then confirm the size at a later date. We’ll even send you a free ring sizer so you can be sure you’re making an accurate choice.
