Read moreHow to Choose the Perfect Engagement Ring
Selecting an engagement ring is a meaningful moment—one that reflects your love and your partner’s unique style. From choosing the right precious metal to deciding on the perfect diamond shape, there are several factors to consider. Understanding the 4 Cs—cut, color, clarity, and carat—can also help you pick a diamond that truly sparkles.
A great way to start is by looking at the jewellery your partner already wears. Their everyday style holds valuable clues about what they might love. At Lily Arkwright, you'll find a wide selection of engagement rings to suit every taste. For even more guidance, explore our comprehensive engagement ring buying guide to help you make the perfect choice.
Do Engagement Rings Have to Feature a Diamond?
Diamonds are undeniably stunning and have long been the traditional choice for engagement rings, but they’re not the only option.
You can also find beautiful rings featuring sapphires, aquamarines, emeralds, and other striking gemstones. Ultimately, the best choice depends on your partner’s personal style and preferences. If you do opt for a diamond, it’s helpful to understand the 4 Cs—cut, colour, clarity, and carat.
How Much Should You Spend on an Engagement Ring?
There’s no set rule for how much an engagement ring should cost, despite the old advice of spending two or three months’ salary. Ultimately, buying an engagement ring is a deeply personal decision, and the most important thing is choosing a ring that reflects the unique love you share with your partner.
Engagement rings come in a range of metals like white gold, platinum, and rose gold, each with different price points. It’s a good idea to set a budget before you start shopping and think about which features matter most to you.
Can I Finance an Engagement Ring?
There are various ways to pay for your engagement ring, tailored to suit your preferences and convenience. At Lily Arkwright, we offer flexible finance options that let you spread the cost over periods ranging from 6 to 48 months.
How Many Carats Should an Engagement Ring Have?
Carat actually refers to a diamond’s weight, not its size, which is a common misconception. Our collection features engagement rings with diamonds ranging from 0.5 to 10 carats. Keep in mind, a higher carat weight doesn’t automatically mean a better ring, size is just one factor to consider when selecting a diamond.
Since preferences differ from person to person, the most important thing is finding an engagement ring that perfectly suits your soulmate.
How Should an Engagement Ring Fit?
An engagement ring is one of the most meaningful pieces of jewellery you’ll ever give, so getting the perfect fit is essential. It should be snug enough to keep the stone central on your finger, yet loose enough to slide off with a bit of resistance.
Finding the right size can be challenging, especially if you’re planning a surprise proposal. To help, check out our Ring Size Guide or visit one of our stores nationwide for expert assistance.
