Gold or silver? Diamond or gemstone? Princess, solitaire, or round brilliant? Antique or contemporary?
Everyone's ideal engagement ring is different. With so many cuts, mounts, and bands to choose from, it's easy to get overwhelmed when searching for your future fiancée's perfect ring.
While you might have an idea of the style they prefer, it can be quite tricky to nail down the kind of band, setting, and precious metal that will best suit their hand.
Luckily, there are people who have spent their entire working lives practising the art of jewellery making and ring selection. But how do you know who to trust with the most important jewellery purchase of your life?
And now, here are some recommendations from locals on where to find the best diamonds in town:
