How to Buy An Engagement Ring

There are no rules, only guidelines to help you get started.

If you are considering an impending engagement, you likely have questions about shopping for an engagement ring. We’re happy to introduce you to the process and provide as much guidance as you like. In the end, it’s most important that you are completely happy not only with the ring, but with the process that brought you to your decision. Visit our jewelry store to shop our engagement ring selection, or contact our team to learn more about your custom options.

How to Find the Perfect Engagement Ring

Whether this is your first or fiftieth time browsing for engagement rings, it can be an overwhelming process. With such a wide variety of styles, colors, and price points, many of our customers find that they are a bit nervous or unsure where to begin. Establishing a basic understanding of your options can be an excellent start to the process and help make it more exciting rather than nerve-wracking.

As you browse our collection of engagement rings, you’ll notice that there is a large range of diamond options. Our jewelry experts will help you find the perfect diamond, exploring different carat weights, cuts, clarity, and colors for your partner. Whether she wants a sustainable and one-of-a-kind antique diamond, or a minimalist, rounded gem that shows simplicity, you’ll find the perfect ring at Fox’s Seattle.

While you start to explore our engagement rings and diamonds, we’ll be asking questions about your partner’s personality and style. Is she a romantic who loves all things vintage, with a soft spot for nostalgia and European touches? Or, is her style classic and minimalistic, with a wardrobe full of classic neutrals and timeless pieces? Maybe your future fiancée has a one-of-a-kind style that’s unlike anything else out there. Taking a moment to get a clear idea of her personal style will help determine what sort of ring shape and diamond type/cut she’ll love.

Current Trends in Engagement Rings

It may seem surprising that the world of engagement rings is one of the ever-changing trends, especially if you’ve never looked closely at the variety of styles out there. For many brides, a classic style best fits the bill, and modern trends aren’t their style. The timeless solitaire, a stunning three-stone ring, or a romantic halo ring – these are engagement rings that have been around for decades.

However, for the bride-to-be that wants something a little different, there are plenty of different styles emerging today. Rose gold has re-emerged as a popular style with the pink-hued gold adding a feminine touch to any engagement ring. Diamonds in a rainbow of colors are perfect for combining classic design with a fun pop of color, and non-diamond engagement rings are also growing in popularity. Unique diamond shapes like the oval shape have attracted a lot of attention, as has the raw diamond – an earthy contrast to the typically polished look.

At Fox’s Seattle, you’re able to explore modern rings as well as classic and unique. We’ll help you find the perfect ring for your fiancée-to-be!

No two diamonds are exactly the same and identifying the subtle differences can take years behind powerful magnifying machines. It is impossible to be fluent in terminology on your first or even your tenth diamond purchase. We can help translate the details for you. But we encourage everyone to recognize all diamonds are judged on the four Cs: cut, clarity, color and carat.
