If you're ready to pick an engagement ring, then it means that you've finally found your partner for life - well done! At AGY, you'll find the most beautifully crafted rings and diamonds cut for maximum sparkle. Browse our wide selection to find the engagement ring that she'll truly adore.

STEP 1: SET YOUR BUDGET

You've probably asked around and gotten all kinds of advice on what the budget of your ring should be, from two to three months of one's salary, or even more. The truth is that you should set a budget that is right for you. The price of an engagement ring is determined by a variety of factors - from the cut and carat of the diamond, to the design of the ring setting. If there's a ring design she loves, that's the best place to start. If there's a diamond shape she loves, begin there.

STEP 2: FIGURE OUT HER STYLE

With careful observation, you can learn a lot about what kind of ring she wants. If she doesn't wear rings, and an engagement ring will be a big adjustment, she might love a Solitaire Engagement Rings. 
If she loves sparkle, start by browsing our Halo Engagement Rings. If she's a classic beauty who prefers clothes with a simple and clean design, view our Classic Engagement Rings. If you want to get her an amazing work of art with incredible sparkle at every angle, view our Masterworks Engagement Rings.

Be sure to take notice of the color of the jewellery she wears. Is it a white gold / platinum, yellow gold, or rose gold? Choose the color she wears more often. If possible, ask someone who is close to her, like her mother or her friend – chances are she shared her preferences with one of them.

STEP 3: CHOOSE A RING

If you want to keep your proposal a surprise, and are unsure of her style preferences, propose with a simple Solitaire Engagement Ring. To give her a true work of art, choose one of our designer's favorite rings, from our Masterworks Engagement Rings selection.

STEP 4: DECIDE ON A DIAMOND SHAPE

Round diamonds are classic and offer a dynamic sparkle. While square diamonds, like Asscher or Emerald cut diamonds, offer a more symmetrical sparkle. Choose Pear or Oval shape, for something beautiful and unique.

STEP 5: CHOOSE THE 4 Cs

We've hand-selected all our diamonds to meet our above industry standards that ensure they will have the best sparkle. Our diamonds are mostly at G color, SI1 clarity, with a cut grade of Good or better.

If making tradeoffs between color and clarity, consider that even slight color is more easily visible to the eye from an arm's distance than minute inclusions.

If she wears yellow gold — then you can select a G, H, or I grade color, as any color in the diamond will be unnoticeable set in golden metal.
