Sometime in December, my boyfriend started looking at ring shops. He shortlisted 2-3 boutiques. We visited Carrie K - our first, last and only stop 🤣

Boyfriend had asked what kind of ring I would like so I had time to think about it (protip 1️⃣ pinterest/lemon8/tiktok were great. I also asked my married friends about their rings. You can think about it in terms of type of gemstone, gemstone shape, and setting etc). I think the classic round diamond ring never goes out of style! Given that lab grown diamonds are so much cheaper than natural ones (see picture 4) - was keen to go with that. Who can tell the difference anyway right 🤷‍♀️ Another good alternative is actually moissanite which is similar looking and EVEN more affordable (protip 2️⃣). Was keen for a simple plain thin band in rose gold because I feel that it allows more emphasis on the centre-stone.

Shelia attended to us! She’s really lovely :) She recommended for 14K gold as it contains less gold content making it actually harder (and it was cheaper) (protip 3️⃣). Interestingly, she did mention 90% of her customers choose white gold instead. We stuck with rose gold in the end - just personal preference :) We decided on the lotus solitaire design as it looked more secure compared to the rest - and we know I am a klutz. Haha.

Then we started talking about the 4Cs! Shelia recommended for excellent cut if going for a round design. She has a database - we then filtered by colour/clarity/carat (looking at the 0.7-0.9 carat range) before ending up with the above specifications. She actually shared more on that but it’s been a while since the actual conversation so I shall not elaborate lest I misrepresent anything she said.

That ended the physical consultation. Further discussion was over text with boyfriend which I was left out of. She did say it would take 8-12 weeks to be ready. Boyfriend eventually engraved something on the inside of the ring too :)

Thank you my dearest fiancé (now no longer boyfriend actually 🫢 yes he has proposed already!) for the thoughtfulness and the pretty ring :) ❤️ It was a fun journey!

Look out for my upcoming post on buying a chain for the engagement ring!
