So sit back, relax, and let us guide you through the exciting journey of creating your dream engagement ring.
What Does An Engagement Ring Symbolize
An engagement ring is a tangible symbol of love and commitment. While any ring can be an engagement ring, the most popular choice is a diamond ring. However, colored stones or colored diamonds are a great option for those who want a more unique and personalized ring. At WRB, we offer a wide range of colored gemstones and colored diamonds, including sapphires, rubies, emeralds, and fancy-colored diamonds.
The Difference Between an Engagement Ring and a Wedding Ring
Traditionally, an engagement ring is presented during a marriage proposal, while a wedding ring is exchanged during the wedding ceremony. At WRB, we offer a variety of wedding ring styles that complement our engagement ring designs, including matching sets and custom-made designs.
How Much Should You Spend on an Engagement Ring?
Deciding how much to spend on an engagement ring can be a daunting task, but it doesn’t have to be. At WRB, our engagement ring prices start at NZD 10,000, and we offer engagement ring prices that suit your comfort zone. While the old adage about spending three months’ salary on an engagement ring is outdated, it can serve as a starting point for determining your budget. Ultimately, what matters most is finding an engagement ring that reflects your love and commitment to each other.
Popular Metals Used in Engagement Rings
We offer a variety of engagement ring metals, including platinum, white gold, rose gold, and yellow gold. Each metal offers a unique look and feel, and we can help you find the perfect metal to match your style and preferences.
Popular Engagement Ring Settings and Styles
At WRB, we offer a wide range of engagement ring settings and styles, including solitaire, vintage-inspired, halo, and three-stone designs. We also offer a variety of engagement ring cuts, including round, princess, cushion, emerald, and pear. Our experts can help you find the perfect setting and cut to showcase your diamond or gemstone.
Choosing the Right Diamond for You
We understand that the 4Cs (cut, color, clarity, and carat) can be overwhelming, especially when it comes to colored diamonds or gemstones. That’s why our experts are here to help you find the perfect diamond based on your budget and style. We offer a wide range of diamond shapes, including fancy-shaped diamonds that can save you up to 25% over a round brilliant diamond of equal carat weight.
We also offer a range of colored gemstones and can help you find the perfect stone to match your style and preferences.
