How I chose the best diamond engagement rings
- Trusted brands: I shop for a living (and have done for over 10 years) and am au fait with the brands that are known and trusted, and that includes for pricier engagement rings. The brands listed all have brilliant warranties or returns policies, and the majority offer in-person or virtual consultations if that avenue suits too.
- Price: Naturally, engagement rings are expensive – and I’ve made sure to include rings across the pricing scale, so cover all budgets.
- Stone: It goes without saying that all of the engagement rings are diamond engagement rings, and I’ve included a few lab-grown diamond engagement rings. Some also use recycled metals, which I’ve pointed out where applicable.
- Metal: Not everyone is a fan of white gold or platinum, which appears to be the most common metal used in engagement rings. As well as listing a few pieces using yellow gold, I’ve called out those where you can choose the metal. Many allow the buyer to choose their loved one’s preferred metal, so make sure you know it before your big ring purchase too.
- Variety: From halo to oval to emerald cut and more, the edit includes a wide variety of rings to cover all tastes. There’s trend-led rings, classic cuts and unusual shapes too.
