Here at C W Sellors, our endless collections of stylish engagement rings are sure to provide you with plenty of inspiration. Pair our impressive selection of designs with some expert advice and you needn’t look anywhere else for your dream engagement. Here’s everything you need to know about choosing the perfect engagement ring.
Bespoke and Unique Engagement Ring Designs
First off, a little about us. Here at C W Sellors, we don’t do things the way other jewellers do. We like to stand out for offering an exceptional and memorable service. When you come to us in search of the perfect design, you don’t just walk out with a perfect design, you walk out having experienced a flawless, impeccable service that will make you want to come back each time a special occasion is on the horizon. We offer an extensive range of engagement ring designs crafted from a choice of different precious metals and materials. Choose from scintillating diamond engagement rings to colourful gemstone creations, not to mention a breathtaking choice of different styles and price brackets to explore. But here’s where we really stand out from the crowd. We have an entire team of artisan goldsmiths and gemstone cutters who are continually innovating here at our Ashbourne workshops in the Peak District. Part of our heritage is steeped in rare and highly covetable gemstones that have been extracted from the picaresque lands of our local area, while other stones are sourced from authentic, ethical stone suppliers, boasting superior quality. So, if you don’t see anything you like here within our online collections, we can craft a one-off piece just for you.
Now that you know a little about what we do, here are some tips on how to choose the perfect engagement ring.
Size Doesn’t Matter
You can be forgiven for thinking that the only way to put a smile on your fiance’s face is with a large and impressive diamond. But small diamond detailing and elegant styles are as popular as ever today. Thanks to several different engagement ring designs on offer, styles like the diamond halo or diamond cluster formation can create the impression of a much larger central diamond. Choosing an engagement ring design with this layout is the perfect way to stick to a budget but still achieve that all-important wow factor. Today, more than ever, there is less pressure to present your partner with a showy ring when planning to propose. Sometimes less is more, and not all women like huge stones.
Choose a Design with a Story
Choosing an engagement ring design that has a story gives more meaning and sentiment to your proposal than just walking into any jewellery store. Here at C W Sellors, every ring has a story to tell. Our designs are unique, many of which have been designed by hand here in-house, and our company is a family-run business, providing you with the reassurance that every design is of high quality. You may also like to choose a stone or material that means something to you or your partner. Think about which metal she prefers to wear daily and consider what stone would mean something to her if you’re looking for alternatives to the classic diamond. A gemstone that signifies the month you met or her birthstone are nice choices that carry an important sentiment.
Different Is Good – Unique is Even Better
An engagement ring that looks like no one else’s is the way to a lady’s heart. Women like to feel unique and special. The only way to celebrate her rarity is by presenting her with a ring that is just as unique as her. Custom-made always feel more special, so if you have your heart set on a certain design, consider working directly with one of our ring designers here at C W Sellors to create your own bespoke ring design.
Think About Matching the Wedding Ring
When choosing your engagement ring, think about the metal of your chosen wedding rings. Finding a design that matches the precious metal of your partner’s wedding ring will enable it to wear better. The same can be said for finding a style that will sit inside the wedding band easily and comfortably. For example, a wishbone-style wedding band will enable a single-stone engagement ring to sit inside it perfectly.
Don’t Get Caught Up in Jewellery Trends
Wedding ring trends come and go, and while it’s nice to explore these trends for inspirational purposes, you should never base your design solely on what other people are wearing in that moment. An engagement ring design is for life so choosing a style that is both timeless and to your partner’s taste is important.
Take Your Time
Here at C W Sellors, we have an extensive range of engagement rings to peruse. You should take your time while working your way through our many designs so that you can ensure you settle on the right design for her. A decision made hastily can result in the choice feeling rushed and thoughtless. Don’t forget to size her finger first, or if you’re choosing the design together, remember that we offer a service that allows you to come in and try on the designs of your choice at your own leisure.
Whatever your final choice, here at C W Sellors, our aftersales care and customer service will ensure you find the perfect design for that once-in-a-lifetime moment of proposal. Explore our wide range today, comprising rose gold, white gold, platinum and yellow gold designs, not to mention an array of styles, gemstones and diamond engagement ring designs.
