What is the one piece of advice you would like to offer couples when picking out an engagement ring?

"Set a budget. It’s not the most fun or romantic of topics, but buying an engagement ring is a major purchase. Know ahead of time what your spending parameters are so that you may shop for your dream ring with managed expectations and avoid disappointment. LovBe’s main focus for its customers is to provide great value when shopping for an engagement ring. With LovBe, you can afford a lab-grown diamond up to two times the size of a mined diamond for the same price!"

What type of engagement rings are popular right now and why?

"We are seeing many couples opting for two-toned settings recently. As most women will wear their engagement ring every day, they are looking for a setting that will work with their existing jewelry wardrobe. By choosing an engagement ring which incorporates two different metals, such as yellow and white golds, it will easily pair with a range of colored metals. 

Tension-set rings are also very popular at the moment. Recognizable due to their lack of prongs, the metal of these bezel-set rings securely envelops the center stone for a modern and minimal look. Available in a selection of metals, from yellow gold to platinum, and able to accommodate a range of diamond cuts, from princess to oval, tension set engagement rings are quickly becoming customers’ favorites."

What should couples look for in a ring? 

"An engagement ring is the most important piece of jewelry you will ever buy, and you will wear it for your lifetime. Couples should look for a design that is timeless and will be as wearable today as it will be decades from now. 

Something to also be mindful of is the quality and craftsmanship of the setting. As this ring will be worn on a continual basis for many years, it will need to stand up to the test of time. Consider your lifestyle and level of activity when selecting a setting."

How can they be sure of the quality of the ring they pick out? 

"All diamonds, whether earth-mined or lab-grown, should come with a grading certificate from one of several well-known and respected grading labs, such as GIA or IGI. These certificates will guarantee the authenticity and properties of the diamond you are purchasing. In addition, couples should do their due diligence on the website and/or company from which they are buying their ring. Look at consumer ratings such as Trustpilot to see other’s experiences, as well as be sure you understand the company’s return policy in the case that you are not satisfied with your purchase."
