How to Buy an Engagement Ring: A Step-by-Step Guide

Buying an engagement ring is a special milestone. This guide helps you make an informed, confident decision—covering everything from budgeting and metal selection to ring styles, craftsmanship, and sizing. Discover how Kyza’s attention to detail ensures your ring is as unique as your love story.

1. Set Your Budget

Before browsing, set a clear budget. This will narrow your options and help you find the best value for your investment. Remember, a thoughtful ring doesn’t have to break the bank—what matters most is the meaning behind it. 

2. Choose the Right Metal

Your metal choice affects durability, color, and price. Common options include:

  • 92.5 Sterling Silver – Affordable, classic, timeless

  • 14K/18K Solid Gold – Long-lasting, luxurious (available in yellow, white, or rose gold)

3. Pick a Center Stone Shape

The shape of the center stone defines the ring’s personality. Popular choices:

  • Round – Timeless and sparkly

  • Oval – Elegant and elongating

  • Cushion – Romantic, soft edges

  • Marquise – Bold and vintage-inspired

Explore Pinterest or Instagram to see what styles resonate with you or your partner.

4. Save Some Pinterest Inspiration

Start a mood board! Saving your favorite ring designs will help you (and your jeweler) understand your taste. This is especially helpful if you’re planning a custom piece.

5. Pick a Ring Setting

The setting determines how your center stone is displayed:

  • Solitaire – Minimal, timeless elegance

  • Halo – Smaller stones surround the center, adding brilliance

  • Pavé – Band is studded with small diamonds for extra sparkle

  • Three-Stone – Symbolizes past, present, and future

Pair with a metal of your choice:

  • Yellow Gold

  • White Gold

  • Rose Gold

6. Know His/Her Ring Size

The perfect ring should slide on smoothly and fit securely. If it’s a surprise, discreetly borrow one of her/his rings or ask a trusted friend/family member.

Tip: Rings can typically be resized up to 0.5 size, but accuracy is key.
