So you have decided to propose to your partner and want to find the perfect engagement ring?

Our first bit of advise is not rush any part of the process, with most cases a proposal will be a surprise, so if you're feeling spur of the moment and want to propose this weekend, take a moment and think about what you're looking to propose with. Postponing your plans and spending slightly longer finding or designing the perfect engagement ring, could make the difference between a nice engagement ring and the perfect engagement ring.

Our second bit of advise is to know who you're investing your time and money into, if you decide to go with a ring specialist, renowned for expertise and certified diamonds, such as Aurus London, you can rest easy that you will be receiving a beautifully made engagement ring. Engagement rings designed to match your budget and partners personal style.

However if you wish to venture into a diamond district such as Hatton Garden, in order to try and get the best deal possible, be aware that once you have said your budget, they can sell you a diamond that might not be worth everything they say it is. Even if you haggle the price down and feel like you've got a good deal, they may still have raised the value to allow for discount to come in above it's worth.

The other end of the spectrum is the High Street jeweller, whilst they may be convenient and selling styles similar to those of your partners pinterest board, the quality is all in all a lot lower than specialist jewellers who ensure that quality is the top priority.

Our tertiary advise is If you're investing your money into a diamond ring, ensure that you get a certificate for the centre stone, this allows you to know what you're buying and that the diamonds have not been treated to make them whiter: a trick of many.  Treatments such a lightening and bleaching can weaken diamonds and can mean that the diamond is weaker in the long run.

Certified diamonds from laboratories such as GIA IGI or HRD are ensuring that you know exactly what you are spending your savings on.
