Buying Advice

How to Buy an Engagement Ring

Budget, shape, setting and certification — a step-by-step plan.

Set priorities

Choose shape first, then prioritise cut, then balance colour, clarity and carat to budget.

Settings

Solitaire, halo, three-stone, pavé and hidden halo each change how large and secure the diamond looks. Platinum or 18K gold prongs hold stones best.

Ring size

Measure at the end of the day when fingers are largest. Most rings can be resized one or two sizes.

Verification tools & references

Every Riakoob piece arrives certified, insured and covered by our 12-month value promise.
