How Far In Advance Do You Buy An Engagement Ring?
There’s no standard timeframe for when people decide to purchase an engagement ring, as it’s deeply personal and unique to each relationship. Some couples buy a ring after years together, while others may choose to do so early in their relationship. What matters most is that the timing feels right for both individuals involved.
How Much To Spend On An Engagement Ring?
There is no set amount that you “should” spend on an engagement ring, but it is important to factor in your budget when shopping for one. At Charles Rose, we have a wide range of engagement rings to suit all budgets. We also offer a 6-month interest-free financing option to make your dream ring a reality.
Should You Wear Your Engagement Ring In The Shower?
No, it is best not to wear your engagement ring in the shower. Your personal care products can cause grime to build up over time, which can dull your diamond and cause your ring to deteriorate. We also recommend taking your ring off before swimming in chlorinated water (such as a pool) as this can damage the metal.
How Many Carats Should An Engagement Ring Be?
The size of the diamond on an engagement ring is a personal preference. Some couples prefer a larger stone, while others prefer a smaller one. It is also important to note that the carat weight is not the only factor to keep in mind when shopping for an engagement ring. Budget and preferred diamond cut are other factors to consider as well.
What Are The Different Diamond Shapes For Engagement Rings?
Charles Rose offers a variety of diamond shapes including round, princess cut, cushion, halo, pear-shaped and more. We also offer a bespoke engagement ring design service to help you create the perfect ring for the perfect occasion. Visit one of our showrooms to see our selection of engagement rings or to speak with one of our consultants about our engagement ring design offering.
Do Couples Pick Engagement Rings Together?
Some people shop for engagement rings on their own, while others prefer to do it as a couple. Both approaches work well and it's ultimately about what feels best for your relationship. Whether you want to take the reins singularly to surprise your partner or choose the perfect ring together, working with a knowledgeable jeweller will help you make the right decision.
Is $20,000 Enough For An Engagement Ring?
When purchasing an engagement ring, it truly comes down to each and every individual's situation. Over the years, there have been plenty of myths circulated around how much you should spend, but just as many have been debunked. If you’re taking the leap into purchasing an engagement ring, there are factors certainly more important than price - an engagement ring is a symbol of commitment, and its value goes beyond price. It is best to consult a trusted jeweller to find the right fit for you.
What Should I Know Before Buying An Engagement Ring?
When shopping for an engagement ring, it is vital to keep the “4 Cs” in mind. The “Four Cs” of diamonds stand for Carat, Cut, Clarity, and Colour. These are the characteristics that determine the quality and value of a diamond. At Charles Rose, we only select the highest quality diamonds for the best value at each grade. So you can rest assured that you are purchasing an exquisite diamond for your loved one.
What Metal Should Engagement Rings Be Made Out Of?
The most popular metals for engagement rings are gold and platinum. Charles Rose only sources the finest metals to create breathtaking engagement rings. We use a proprietary alloy of 18-carat white, yellow, or rose gold and platinum to ensure quality, durability, and a lifetime of loving your engagement ring.
Do You Wear Your Engagement Ring When You Walk Down the Aisle?
Yes, in Australia, it’s common to wear your engagement ring while walking down the aisle, but it’s typically worn on the right hand to make way for the wedding band. During the ceremony, the wedding band is placed on the left ring finger first, and then the engagement ring is moved back to sit on top, following the tradition of keeping the band closest to the heart.
That said, there’s no strict rule, and it really comes down to personal preference. Some couples choose to leave the engagement ring off during the ceremony and put it back on afterwards, while others keep it on the whole time. The important thing is that you do what feels meaningful for your special day.
How Do I Clean My Diamond Engagement Ring?
Cleaning your diamond engagement ring is important to keep it looking its best. Therefore, each engagement ring purchased at Charles Rose comes with a lifetime complimentary cleaning at any of our showrooms. We also offer several complimentary machine polishing services to keep your ring as stunning as ever.
Is Colour Or Clarity More Important For Diamonds?
It depends on your preference. Some people prefer colourless round-cut diamonds because they believe these diamonds are the most sparkly and brilliant. Others prefer clarity because they covet the clear, nearly inclusion free aesthetic. Your Charles Rose consultant will help balance each of these factors while sourcing the perfect diamond for your needs, irrespective of whichever cut or carat weight you select.
