The anatomy of an engagement ring đź’Ť with Rebecca.

There’s more to your ring than the diamond. Knowing the different elements can help you better understand the design, setting and details you love.

Save this for when you start engagement ring shopping, and visit us in-store to explore different settings and find the details that feel right for you.

Like an orchestra, it takes the work of many elements to create perfect harmony in gem-setting. The precise alignment of the diamonds’ height, orientation and position, combined with the intricate finishing of the metalwork results in a sparkling symphony that both enhances the watch and enchants the wearer.

Not sure where to begin when choosing an engagement ring? Start here:

💎 Set your budget. Knowing what you’re comfortable spending helps narrow down your options and lets our team guide you toward the best ring within your range.

đź’Ž Find your style. Classic solitaire, vintage-inspired, modern, bold or something completely custom? Think about the jewellery you already wear and the details you naturally gravitate toward.

💎 Consider your lifestyle. Your engagement ring is something you’ll wear every day. Your work, hobbies and daily routine can help determine the best setting, stone and design for both comfort and durability.

đź’Ž Pay attention to the details. Metal colour, diamond shape, setting, band width and even how your wedding band will sit alongside your engagement ring can completely change the final look.

And remember—you don’t need to have it all figured out before you come in. That’s what we’re here for. 🤍

The IJL Bridal Event is on now. Come explore engagement rings, wedding bands, natural and lab-grown diamonds, and custom options with our bridal team.
