The wedding is the most important event in a couple's life. Therefore, the choice of the engagement ring should not be taken lightly. But is it possible to choose an engagement ring as a couple? Which engagement ring should we choose together? We explain everything to you.
How to choose the engagement ring: alone or together ?
Generally and as tradition dictates, the engagement ring should be given to the lady at the time of the proposal, after being carefully chosen by the gentleman. This allows for a surprise effect but leaves the entire responsibility of the choice of the engagement ring to the man. This ring is often the first precious piece of jewelry that is chosen and bought for a woman. The budget allocated is usually quite substantial in order to offer a high-quality piece of jewelry. If you wish to choose alone and offer the engagement ring that will make her say yes without any hesitation, our experts are here to advise you and help you make the best choice in terms of engagement rings.
But what about the choice of two ?
It is entirely possible to choose an engagement ring as a couple. Sometimes, one has to break away from conventions. If you believe that this choice can be made better together, do not hesitate for a second. This choice can be a moment to share together, before the wedding. Moreover, this will allow the future bride to wear a piece of jewelry that matches her 100% and that she will surely love! It's a real moment of complicity to share with your other half. By buying the engagement ring together, you will have a better chance of choosing the perfect model.
Why buy the engagement ring for 2?
Many criteria need to be considered when choosing an engagement ring. That's why choosing this precious ring together can be an interesting idea.
Firstly, choosing the engagement ring with the future bride ensures you do not make a mistake about the style of the jewelry. Some prefer a simple style, others prefer more extravagant jewelry. The choice of design and style will therefore no longer be a headache for you gentlemen. Moreover, by choosing your engagement ring together, you will also be able to choose your wedding rings in the same way, so as to match the two pieces of jewelry as best as possible. It is important to take into account the fact that the future bride will wear both rings. It is therefore crucial to think about the harmony of shapes, styles and colors. If you choose an imposing style engagement ring, it will be more complicated to wear the wedding ring on the same finger. If you wish to stack these two rings, we recommend you opt for the same alloy and a more simple style for the engagement ring.
An important criterion to consider is the budget. Making this decision as a couple can help avoid certain disagreements or conflicts and prevent any discrepancy in expectations. It is important that the ring suits the fiancee's taste, but it should not be forgotten that making this decision together also allows you to buy a ring of the appropriate size, which is a crucial criterion in choosing this piece of jewelry. Finally, if you want to create a custom ring with any type of personalization, making decisions together can only be beneficial to the final choice. In this way, the personalized jewelry will be 100% suited to the future bride.

Which engagement ring model to choose?
A multitude of choices are available to you when selecting your engagement ring. For example, you can choose between a diamond pavé ring or a simple solitaire. The solitaire is the most traditional and classic form of engagement ring. The setting takes a backseat to the central stone. This model without pavé allows you to fully focus on the choice of diamond shape: round, princess, baguette... a large number of configurations are possible. The solitaire is an elegant and streamlined model that easily matches any other type of jewelry. If you prefer a more elaborate model, you can opt for a pavé ring, set with small fine or precious stones on the ring setting. You can choose a model where the stones are present all around the setting, three-quarters, or even half. Numerous possibilities are available to you.
Demonstration of different models:
The loner: This is the most classic and traditional form of engagement ring. The setting, which yields to the central stone, is simple and discreet. This unadorned model allows for full focus on the choice of diamond shape. The solitaire is an elegant, understated, and refined model that easily matches any other type of jewelry.
The paved solitaire: Set with small fine or precious stones on the ring mount, the pave solitaire has a more flashy and elaborate design. The stones can be present all around the mount, three quarters, or even halfway.
The surrounded loner: Perfect for women who appreciate sophistication, this design can easily enhance an outfit.
The solitary shouldered This type of ring is accompanied by a few gems on either side of the central stone. Halfway between a solitaire and a pave solitaire, this type of ring is an ideal choice for those who dream of a vintage look or who are torn between a pave solitaire and a halo.

This choice remains a matter of taste, the jewel will be a reflection of your character and style. But this is not the only criterion to consider when making your decision together. In order to choose between a simple ring style or a more elaborate one, we advise you to take into account the other jewelry worn such as the wedding band or other rings for example. As explained earlier, it is important to anticipate the wearing of the two rings for the lady.

What budget for an engagement ring ?
It is well known that the engagement ring represents a certain budget, especially because of the diamond or other precious stones that can be quite expensive. It is important not to lose sight of your original idea and not to sacrifice the style that you really like for the price. It is better to prioritize a ring that is truly personal and that will 100% match your future wife, rather than a more expensive or cheaper piece of jewelry that would not suit her. There is no set budget for the engagement ring and each person spends the amount they want. It is said that between 1 and 2 months of salary is a good price range that will allow you to aim for the right budget without going into the red, but this estimate depends on each individual. However, keep in mind that this ring is meant to be worn for many years so don't make a mistake, and choose a ring that is up to the task. If you are hesitating between two rings, it is better to go for the one of better quality and adjust your budget slightly upwards rather than take the risk of a slightly more "cheap" ring.

How to take no risks when choosing an engagement ring?
We advise you not to make any irreversible decisions that you might regret. Make sure that your jeweler offers free resizing, exchange or return. Indeed, it can happen that you make a mistake about the size, shape or color. To avoid this, you can take precautions such as discreetly borrowing a ring of the correct size to ensure you buy a ring of the appropriate size. Making a mistake would not take away from the effort and work you put into your marriage proposal, but it would be too bad if your fiancée could not wear the perfect ring for her. So take precautions, not all jewelers (especially when custom-made) necessarily offer this option. At Celinni we offer a satisfaction guarantee or your money back. Benefit from a 30-day warranty from the date of receipt of the product to return your item in new condition.
