Getting engaged brings together some important decisions — from planning the proposal to choosing an engagement ring that suits the person who will wear it. The Polished Diamonds Getting Engaged guides provide practical New Zealand advice to help you make those decisions with confidence.
Explore expert information about diamond rings, engagement ring styles, natural and lab-grown diamonds, coloured gemstones, precious metals, ring budgets and proposal ideas. We also explain how modern custom CAD jewellery design allows an engagement ring to be designed around the actual diamond or gemstone, finger size and personal preferences before manufacture begins.
If choosing the final engagement ring before proposing feels risky, our proposal rings offer another approach: make the proposal a surprise, then design the permanent engagement ring together.
Our guides draw on Polished Diamonds’ experience designing and creating engagement rings in New Zealand. For more technical information about diamond quality, grading and the 4Cs, visit our Diamond Education Blog.
