Engagement rings come in all shapes and sizes and finding the one that suits your personality can be a bit of a trial. If you haven’t yet set out to find your perfect piece just yet (that’s if you weren’t surprised with a sparkler when he popped the question) make sure to take some time to find out a little bit about engagement ring shopping first. For many women (myself included) your engagement ring will be the first piece of jewellery you will invest in and the diamond industry can be a little confusing if you haven’t familiarised yourself with ‘the four Cs’ (as explained here by Limerick based jewellers 14Parnell) before jumping into it. Find out what to look for in a diamond, where to shop and how to keep it sparkling well after the Big Day.
We are lucky in Ireland to have so many wonderful certified jewellers and designers who can guide you through the process, and who will find or create something for your style – and of course for your budget too! Irish jewellery designers are creating some of the most unique and special pieces at the moment and even if you consider yourself traditional, it’s well worth visiting a designer’s workshop to see the beautiful original jewellery being made in the country. We’ve put together just a few of our favourite e-rings from our directory of jewellers but this is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to pretty sparklers!
