Anne Edwards suggests the following tips for couples venturing on the journey of choosing an engagement ring during cuffing season: 

Understand Your Partner's Style 

Take note of your partner's preferences when it comes to jewellery. Consider their taste in metal, gemstones, and overall design aesthetic. It is also a good idea to keep in mind their personal style and fashion preferences.

Anne shares: “Your partner's style speaks volumes about their personality and preferences. Paying attention to the jewellery they wear can guide you in selecting the perfect engagement ring. Whether they prefer classic elegance, modern minimalism, or intricate designs, their chosen style becomes a valuable clue, guiding you to choose a ring that echoes their individuality and captures the spirit of your relationship.

Set a Budget

“Setting a budget is not just about financial planning; it's a compass that guides your search for the ideal engagement ring. By defining your budget, you narrow down your options, making the selection process more focused and enjoyable,” - continues Anne. 

Consider Customisation 

Personalised engagement rings add a distinctive touch to your proposal, allowing couples to create a ring that perfectly reflects their love story.

Anne adds: “In today's romantic landscape, couples are embracing the beauty of customisation, seeking unique engagement rings that convey their individual love stories.
