An engagement ring is more than just a beautiful piece of jewellery—it’s a symbol of love, commitment, and a moment you’ll both remember for the rest of your lives. Whether you’re planning a surprise proposal or shopping together, finding the perfect ring can feel a little overwhelming.
At The Goldmarket, we’ve helped many couples in Weston-super-Mare and beyond find their ideal engagement rings, and we know it’s not just about size or sparkle. It’s about getting it right for your relationship. Here’s what you need to know before you buy:
1. Listen First, Shop Later
If you’re planning a surprise proposal, pay close attention to any hints your partner drops. Do they prefer yellow gold or platinum? Classic or vintage styles? Solitaires or halos?
Scroll through their Pinterest boards, listen to casual comments, or even ask their friends or family for insights. Give some consideration to the jewellery they currently wear, is it mostly white gold/platinum or yellow gold? If you’re ring shopping as a couple, enjoy the process together; it’s a great opportunity to explore styles and discuss what matters most.
2. Understand the Four Cs
If you’re considering a diamond ring, make sure you understand the basics of diamond quality:
-
Cut – How well the diamond reflects light. A good cut gives it that all-important sparkle.
-
Colour – The less colour, the higher the grade (on a scale from D to Z).
-
Clarity – Indicates how clear the diamond is, based on internal and external imperfections.
-
Carat – A measure of the diamond’s weight, not just its size.
Our in-store experts are always happy to walk you through this in plain English, so you can make a confident, informed choice.
3. Set a Budget That Works for You
Forget the old rule of spending “three months’ salary”—what matters most is what feels right for you. Many stunning rings are available at a wide range of prices, and at The Goldmarket, we’ll help you get the best value without any pressure to overspend.
Remember, this is just the beginning of your journey—there are wedding costs ahead, and financial stress shouldn’t be part of your proposal story.
4. Choose a Style That Reflects Your Partner
From classic solitaires to art deco designs, or modern rings with coloured stones, the options are endless. Think about your partner’s fashion sense. Do they lean toward timeless or trend-driven? Bold or minimalist?
We also offer bespoke design services for those who want something truly one-of-a-kind. And if you’re unsure, our staff are pros at helping you narrow things down based on just a few clues.
5. Don’t Forget the Fit
Ring sizing matters more than you think, especially for surprise proposals. Try to borrow a ring they wear on their left hand for us to measure, or opt for a temporary resize and have the ring properly adjusted after the big moment.
