She Asks

He is impatient and dislikes shopping

As a rule women like to shop, so take your best friend or trusted family member with you if you need a second opinion.  This would take the pressure off your beloved &, once you have selected a style you like, then bring him with you.

 

What metal should I choose?

Most women have a firm preference for the colour of ring they prefer &, in many ways, this is a matter of taste and budget. 18 carat yellow gold has traditionally been the most popular option; however, nowadays many brides are choosing the purity, strength and lustre of platinum. Platinum's fine silvery white tones complement & enhance the brilliance of diamonds.  Try on both metals to get a feel for what makes you most comfortable.

 

What shape of stone should I choose?

The shape & cut of your diamond is really important.  The traditional round brilliant cut diamond will give your ring an elegant & timeless look that will never date; or you may choose a more contemporary shape or cut, like a Pear, Heart shape, Emerald cut, Princess, Asscher or Tycoon.  Decide whether you like the look of an elegant solitaire diamond or perhaps prefer a series of three - symbolising the past, present and future - or today, tomorrow and forever. 

 

What type of setting is best?

Learn about the different settings for your engagement ring.  Depending on the shape of your diamond & the number of stones you choose, the various settings include: classic solitaire with claw setting, bar set, channel set, pavé set, cluster set & rub over. Choosing a diamond engagement ring is no easy task, but the vast array of styles, designs & prices available at Lunn’s will make your shopping experience all the more enjoyable.

 

“Diamonds are a girl's best friend”
                                Anita Loos

That old maxim still makes a lot of sense & here's why...

• Diamonds are romantic and beautiful & a good one can be expensive. In some cases your beloved might be giving you a diamond ring worth two months of his salary.  The fact that he loves you enough to spend such a large sum to buy a diamond for you is a very romantic gesture. 
• A diamond is an exceedingly rare item. Over 250 tons of ore must be processed to come up with just one carat diamond of any quality.
• Diamonds are precious! Cubic zirconium and other imitations may be a lower price, but they are also man-made. Diamonds, however, are rare natural stones made millions of years ago under intense heat & pressure. 
• Diamonds are forever; they won't fade or discolour through time.
• Diamonds say that her man can provide for her very well.
