You may be surprised to learn that the average Australian couple spends nearly $6000 on an engagement ring.
Your budget will depend on your own circumstances and there's no rule about how much you should spend.
After all, a meaningful gift like this should symbolise love and commitment between two people, not financial status or how much you earn (even though some may feel pressure).
Step 2 - Choose the Right Size & Style
|
Now for the fun part! Here are some important factors to consider when choosing a ring design for your partner:
Once you find a balance between your partner's current jewellery choices and yours, then it is time to make an excellent choice! |
 |
Step 3 - Select the Metal Type
The metal of your ring is much more than just picking out a favourite colour.
For instance, did you know that not all golds are created equal?
Each type has its own set qualities which affect how they're maintained and preserved over time - so it pays to know what kind we're talking about before making such an important decision!
Let's take a look at some popular engagement-ring metals.
|
Yellow Gold Gold is a timeless style that can be easily maintained with the occasional clean and polish. Not only does it maintain its brightness, but yellow gold also has staying power- meaning you won't need to repeat any cleaning routines as often! |
 |
|
White Gold White gold is the most popular choice for those looking to make a statement with their jewelry. Unlike low-quality jewellery, which uses nickel based white metal and can cause allergies when worn over time; our pieces only feature palladium based allergen free designs that will never go out of style! |
 |
|
Rose Gold A mix of gold and copper, this metal has a beautiful pink hue. Rose-coloured metals are becoming increasingly popular as they only require an occasional clean and polish. |

A Word On Gold
Gold is measured in a unit called Carats. This is split into 24 equal parts, meaning 24 carat (24k) gold is pure gold: 24 out of 24 parts gold.
Gold is a precious metal, but it's not always the most durable. For this reason gold has been combined with other elements (alloys) to increase its durability.
We typically use 18k Gold which will hold up for your lifetime while retaining that shine we all know so well!
Step 4 - Pick The Perfect Gemstone
There are many stunning and unique stones to choose as the centerpiece of the engagement ring.
The most classic options include Diamonds or Moissanite for their timelessness, beauty and durability.
|
Lab Diamonds With more and more people choosing lab-grown diamonds over natural ones, this trend is rapidly becoming the preferred choice. Unlike their counterparts that can be costly to produce in large quantities, these man made gems have no mining required at all! They're exactly like your typical rough diamond; only without any detrimental impacts on environment or human health. This makes them quite ideal for those looking to make an eco friendly statement with style. |
