Top 7 Mistakes to Avoid When Choosing an Engagement Ring in Australia

Image
Choosing an engagement ring is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, but it’s easy to make mistakes along the way. In Australia, where engagement traditions are meaningful and stylish, knowing what pitfalls to avoid can make the journey smoother and more enjoyable. Here are the top 7 mistakes you should watch out for: 1. Not Setting a Budget Many buyers walk into a jewellery store without a clear budget. This can lead to confusion or falling in love with a ring that's out of reach. Setting a budget early on helps narrow down choices and ensures you stay within your financial comfort zone while still finding a beautiful piece. 2. Ignoring Your Partner’s Style Preferences Surprises are romantic, but ignoring your partner’s style can lead to disappointment. Pay attention to what kind of jewellery they usually wear — whether they prefer modern designs, vintage styles, or Unique Diamond Rings with a personal twist. You can also consult close friends or family members for insights. 3. Skippi...

So, you’re engaged – congratulations! Now comes the next big decision: choosing the perfect wedding ring . Unlike an engagement ring, selecting wedding bands involves different considerations, including how they complement each other, fit within your budget, and reflect your personal style. Choosing Your Wedding Rings The first decision is whether you want matching or non-matching rings. Wedding Set: A coordinated set designed for both partners. Non-Matching Rings: Each partner selects a ring based on individual preference. Do Couples Choose Wedding Rings Together? In Australia, it’s increasingly common for couples to choose their wedding rings together. This shared experience allows both partners to explore styles, discuss preferences, and ensure mutual satisfaction.

PROMISE RINGS – The Ring That Takes The Pressure OFF!

Image
Promise rings, purity rings, commitment rings, pre-engagement rings – confused yet because we are! What does a promise ring mean? What finger does a promise ring go on? How do you buy one? So let’s demystify the meaning behind this pre-matrimonial trend.  What is a Promise Ring? The definition is personal to each couple, but generally, they are used as a sign of commitment. Whilst many couples use it a sign of their intention to one day get married, others use it purely to show their devotion to one another. The promise made is unique to each couple but its most essential element is the love and commitment to each other and to the relationship. It shows that the couple, whilst not yet ready for marriage, have moved beyond simply dating. It is also a growing trend between couples who cohabitate but are not married, showing the world that their commitment extends beyond merely paying the bills together.

Platinum Vs White Gold

Image
One is known for its durability and weight, the other for affordability and a delicate glow – but there’s a lot more to these two precious metals than meets the eye.  Choosing between precious metals is not an everyday task. Most people will be vaguely familiar with White Gold and Platinum; White Gold is known for its warm undertones and affordability, while Platinum is revered for its toughness, weight and bright white colouring. But do these reputations stand true? When it comes to selecting the materials for a piece of fine jewellery, especially one you intend to wear for a very long time, it’s important to separate fact from fiction. Three-stone-white-gold-custom-engagement-ring The difference between Platinum and White Gold The key differences between Platinum and White Gold relate to Colour, Price, and Durability. But these differences are not clear cut – it is not a simple case of one being brighter, more affordable, or tougher than the other. Today, we explore the differenc...

Aquamarine Engagement Rings- The Ocean On Your Finger

Image
We all know that March babies are lucky enough to have aquamarine as their birthstone, but you don’t have to share your day with St Paddy to wear this gorgeous gem. After all, who wouldn’t want a gem that brings tropical lagoons and calm waters to mind?! What is Aquamarine? Aquamarine means “water of the sea” and originated in the 17th Century. These stunning stones are part of the beryl family of minerals, which also includes emeralds. Aquamarines come in colours ranging from the palest blue to dark blue-greens. They also tend to have excellent clarity and can be found in quite large sizes, which makes them a perfect centrepiece for both engagement rings and fine jewellery, and whilst we love it in any setting, we think it looks especially outstanding when paired with rose or white gold. Below is Diamondport’s Emerald Aquamarine Engagement Ring with emerald diamonds. Engagement ring with an emerald aquarmarine and diamonds Where can you find Aquamarines?
