How to Discover Your Partner's Jewellery Style Before Choosing an Engagement Ring
Planning the ultimate surprise proposal? One of the most meaningful steps is selecting an engagement ring that truly reflects your partner’s unique style. Understanding their jewellery preferences can help you choose a ring they’ll adore for a lifetime. Here are four helpful tips from our engagement ring experts to guide you through the process.
One: Observe Their Metal Preference
Take note of what metal colour your partner wears most often - do they prefer white gold, yellow gold, or a mix of both? If you’re seeing an equal blend, consider designing a two-tone engagement ring, which seamlessly combines both metals for a beautifully versatile piece. A popular combination includes white gold claws with a yellow gold band - perfect for matching with their everyday jewellery collection.This will allow your partner to seamlessly add their engagement ring to their everyday jewellery collection.
Two: Think Beyond Diamonds: Consider Gemstones
If your partner has a love for bold colours or enjoys meaningful details, a gemstone engagement ring could be the perfect fit. Opt for a gem in their favourite colour, or one that symbolises a shared memory or milestone in your relationship. This thoughtful addition adds depth and personality to the design and can be just as precious as a diamond.
Three: Let Their Accessories Guide You
To determine what diamond shape your partner might be interested in, it is a good idea to look at their watch face and earring styles for inspiration. Does their watch have a round face or a square face? A round watch face might suggest a preference for curved diamond cuts such as an oval cut, round brilliant cut or pear cut diamond. A rectangular or angular shape may indicate they’d love a radiant cut, emerald cut or a princess cut diamond. Subtle clues like these offer insight into their visual aesthetic, without having to ask directly.
Four: Match the Ring to Their Style
Your partner’s fashion sense can also guide your decision. Do they gravitate toward bold prints and floral patterns? A vintage-inspired or Art Deco engagement ring with an intricate halo design may suit them best. If they favour minimalist, capsule wardrobes, a classic solitaire engagement ring is the perfect addition to their everyday look.
