How to buy the perfect engagement ring

BUYING THE PERFECT ENGAGEMENT RING

AN ENDURING SYMBOL OF LOVE

A moissanite's fire and brilliance is unmatched by any other gemstone. A moissanite is forever.

Florentine is committed to finding the special ring your true love deserves. Let our experts help you customise the perfect ring with your choice of a moissanite, setting and personal inscription.

We have prepared a step-by-step guide to help you choose the perfect engagement ring.


STEP 1 - DECIDE ON THE SHAPE OF THE MOISSANITE

There are 10 basic moissanite shapes to choose from - round, princess, emerald, cushion, pear, oval, heart, marquise, radiant and asscher.

Tip: The round brilliant is the most popular shape chosen for engagement rings, as it showcases the most sparkle out of all the cuts and is a timeless classic.

STEP 2 - DECIDE ON THE SIZE OF THE MOISSANITE

With moissanites, size is largely a matter of preference. As the price of moissanite increases linearly with carat weight, large carat weights won't break the bank.

Tip: In general, a moissanite of 2 carats and above is sure to impress.

STEP 3 - CHOOSE A SETTING

You will need to consider the following:

1. Head type - 4-prongs, 6-prongs, a single or double halo, or a hidden halo

2. Setting type - prong, channel, micropave, bezel or tension

If you are unsure of where to begin, simply speak to us and we will guide you through the process. You may also send us various images of your desired ring and we will incorporate them into your final design.

Whatever setting it is, we will do our very best to make your dreams come true.

STEP 4 - CHOOSE YOUR PRECIOUS METAL

We offer customisation of jewellery in the following precious metals:

  • 14K white, yellow and rose gold
  • 18K white, yellow and rose gold
  • Platinum
  • Others

STEP 5 - ADD A PERSONAL INSCRIPTION

Engrave your ring with a personalised message to make your engagement ring truly one of a kind.

STEP 6 - DETERMINE HER RING SIZE

To determine her ring size, you may measure a ring she has using some thread. Alternatively, you may also order a complimentary ring sizer from us.

We understand that getting the right ring size the first time can be tricky, especially if you are planning a surprise proposal. This is why we offer a complimentary ring resizing service.
