How should an Engagement Ring fit?
Wondering how your engagement ring should fit? At Poppy Elder Fine Jewellery, we believe it should feel just right – snug enough so it doesn't slide off, but loose enough to slide over your knuckle with a little effort.
A well-fitting ring should sit comfortably on your finger without pinching or digging in. It should be easy enough to put on in the morning but slightly challenging to take off at night (when your fingers are typically a bit larger).
Remember, everyone's fingers can change size slightly due to weather, time of day, or other factors. If you're unsure about the fit, speak to use for some help. As specialists in bespoke, UK-made engagement rings, we're here to ensure your ring is as perfect in fit as it is in design.
Which order do you wear Engagement, Wedding and Eternity rings?
In the UK, tradition goes like this: Your wedding band sits on your left ring finger, closest to your heart. Then comes the engagement ring, followed by the eternity ring on top. So, it's wedding ring first, engagement ring next, and eternity ring last.
But remember, it's all about what feels right for you. At Poppy Elder Fine Jewellery, we love seeing how our customers wear their unique, ethical, and UK-made engagement rings rings in their own style. If you're looking for rings that truly reflect your personal story, we're here to help craft that perfect piece!
How much should you spend on an Engagement Ring in the UK?
Wondering how much to spend on an engagement ring in the UK? There's an outdated traditional guideline suggesting two to three months' salary, but at Poppy Elder Fine Jewellery, we believe it's really up to you.
Every couple is unique, and so is their budget. It's more important to find a ring that resonates with your personal style and love story, rather than sticking to a set rule. Whether you're after a bespoke piece or something from our unique, UK-made collections, we focus on creating beautiful rings that align with various budgets. We’ve got a few hints and tips for making the most of your engagement ring budget too.
Remember, it's not about the price tag; it's about the meaning behind the ring. We're here to help you find or create a ring that captures your love, without stretching your finances.
Are Custom Engagement Rings more expensive?
So, you’ve heard that making a custom engagement ring is more expensive? Let me share some good news from Poppy Elder Fine Jewellery. Because crafting bespoke pieces is what we do best, our custom engagement rings aren’t more expensive than an off the peg design.
We're set up to create every piece individually, focusing on making unique, one-of-a-kind engagement rings that reflect your personal story and style. Since bespoke jewellery is our specialty, we're able to offer these personalised treasures at prices that don't break the bank.
So, if you're dreaming of a custom engagement ring, don't let the worry about cost hold you back. Learn about creating a Bespoke Engagement Ring. At Poppy Elder Fine Jewellery, we're all about bringing your vision to life in a way that's affordable and special to you.
Which Finger for the Engagement Ring?
In the UK, the traditional finger for wearing an engagement ring is the fourth finger of your left hand. This custom stems from the romantic belief that a vein in this finger, known as the 'Vena Amoris', or 'vein of love', is directly connected to the heart.
But at Poppy Elder Fine Jewellery, while we adore traditions, we also celebrate personal style and choice. If you prefer to wear your unique, UK-made engagement ring on a different finger or hand that feels more comfortable or meaningful to you, we say go for it!
Remember, your engagement ring is a symbol of your love and commitment, so wear it in the way that best represents your personal love story.
What is a Solitaire diamond?
A solitaire diamond, often the star of engagement rings, is a classic and elegant choice symbolising love and commitment. At Poppy Elder Fine Jewellery, we cherish the timeless appeal of solitaire diamond rings.
In essence, a solitaire diamond refers to a single diamond set into a ring, making it the focal point of the piece. This style is renowned for its simplicity and sophistication, allowing the beauty of the single diamond to shine without distraction. The solitaire setting is versatile and can complement various diamond shapes and sizes, from the traditional round brilliant cut to more unique shapes like kite, moval, or baguette cut.
Solitaire diamond engagement rings are a popular choice for their symbolic representation of a singular, enduring love. They are the epitome of classic engagement rings, offering a perfect blend of simplicity, purity, and elegance.
At Poppy Elder Fine Jewellery, each solitaire diamond is carefully selected for its quality and brilliance, ensuring your engagement ring is not just a piece of jewellery, but a symbol of your unique love story. Our bespoke approach allows you to choose from a variety of settings and styles, creating a truly personalised and UK-made engagement ring that reflects your individual journey.
What is the Best Diamond Colour to Choose?
Like many things, choosing the perfect diamond colour is a personal choice and you should take many things into account such as overall look, diamond shape & your preferred metal choice. Take an in-depth look at choosing the perfect diamond colour.
How to get a unique Engagement Ring?
One way to get a unique or unusual engagement ring is to play with the main diamond setting. Choose a rose cut engagement ring or choose a diamond shape that is not round such as a half moon or hexagon. For a non traditional engagement ring diamonds can also be replaced with various other precious gemstones like a sapphire or ruby.
Will my Engagement Ring come with a Diamond Certificate?
All Engagement Rings with diamonds over 0.30ct will come with a GIA certificate for your peace of mind.
Ready to ship rings will have exact diamond details on the product listing.
