3 Essential Tips To Buy The Best Engagement Ring

  • Written by Ester Adams


The city of Brisbane is the most populated area in Queensland. Also known as the River City, the state capital is also one of the most visited spots in Australia. Locals and tourists travel to this city to see the famous Queensland Cultural Centre, the home of the Queensland Art Gallery, the Queensland Museum, and the Gallery of Modern Art. 

The city is also known among Australians and other visitors for its outdoor dining scene and cuisine brunches. It also has a thriving rooftop bar scene. These dining options make the city one of the best places to propose in the country. So if you will visit Brisbane with your lady love, you need to be prepared to pop the question. If you suddenly feel like proposing to the girl of your dreams while touring the city, you must know how to look for engagement rings in Brisbane

If you are clueless about how to shop for an engagement ring, here are some of the best tips to keep in mind before heading out to the jewellery shops in Brisbane: 

Tip #1: Know The Right Shape

If you know what your future fiancee’s preference is when it comes to the shape of the diamond that she would want to wear, it will make it easier for you to find the best engagement rings in Brisbane. Each shape, which is also referred to as the cut, comes in different price points. 

Generally, the round cut has the highest price. So if the price is not a problem, you must get your lady a brilliant excellent cut diamond. But if you are on a budget but still want to give your future bride an impressive symbol of your love, you can choose an engagement ring with a fancy cut diamond.  

Tip #2: Choose Your Band Material 

Based on tradition, engagement and wedding rings are made using yellow gold, white gold, platinum, or silver. But modern couples are now choosing rose gold as a more trendy alternative. But among all the options, the platinum band is more expensive compared to the gold and silver varieties. 

If you want the most elegant engagement ring for your future fiancee, give her a diamond ring set in a platinum band. But if you still want an elegant ring without breaking the bank, any good or silver metal are also the best options. 

Tip #3: Get The Measurement Accurately

Even if you want to stage a surprise for your girlfriend during your proposal, you still have to make sure that you know her right ring size before shopping for an engagement ring. You want it to perfectly fit in your future fiancee’s ring finger. 

If the ring is several sizes too small, it may interfere with the wearer’s blood circulation. But if the ring is several sizes too big, the ring may fall off. So make sure that you have an idea about your girlfriend’s ring size before buying your ideal engagement ring. You may ask her casually during your date or seek help from her family or friends so they can ask the size discreetly on your behalf. 

Asking for your girlfriend’s hand in marriage can be a heartwarming yet nerve-wracking thing to do. But you will boost your chances of getting a “yes” if you choose the right engagement ring for your proposal. So if you intend to visit Brisbane as part of your proposal plan, ensure that you come prepared with the right ring on hand.
