Engagement Rings

The old adage used to be ⅓ of your year’s salary, but thankfully that doesn’t ring true anymore! How much you spend on a diamond engagement ring is up to you and your partner and what you feel comfortable spending. This is a big step in your relationship and shouldn’t break the bank. Whatever amount you spend is the perfect amount. At Fortevia Jewels, we have rings that can fit any budget.

There is no right or wrong answer here, but the average size is typically a 1 carat center stone. An engagement ring is a sign of love and commitment to each other. It can be any shape, size and style as long as you and your partner love it. Plus, you can always upgrade it later on!

We have a handy ring sizing guide that you can use to find your engagement ring size! You can also ask your partner for their size, ask their mom or friends.

Oval diamonds look great in a solitaire setting as well as with pave down the sides. If you choose to go with a three stone, they look best with round side stones or oval.

Definitely a halo style ring! With this style, there is an outline of diamonds set around the center stone which gives the illusion that the diamond is larger than it really is. It also provides a lot of extra sparkle and shine!

The most popular metals for a ring are gold and platinum. There are alternative metals that can be used like sterling silver, but for the best durability, stick with the above. At Fortevia Jewel, we offer 10, 14 or 18 karat white, rose or yellow gold and platinum.

An engagement ring is worn before the couple gets married. It’s usually the bigger of the two rings, typically featuring one main center stone. A wedding ring or wedding band is the ring that is presented during the marriage ceremony to signify the couple has tied the knot. This ring is usually a band and can be plain metal or have diamonds set along it. Some popular wedding band styles include ¾ pave, eternity band or a plain metal band with engraving or other ornate details. You can opt to have the two rings soldered together or keep them separate, it’s all up to you and your style and comfort.

In most Western countries including the USA, Canada, the UK and Australia couples traditionally wear their Engagement Ring on the ring finger of the left hand. In many European regions such as Germany, Norway and Russia, along with parts of India and the Middle East, Engagement Rings are often worn on the right hand. You can choose the hand that feels aligned with your tradition and your love story because your Engagement Ring holds the same meaning on both hands.
