How to Choose the Perfect Engagement Ring: A Complete Guide for Modern Couples
Choosing the perfect engagement ring is one of life’s most meaningful decisions. It’s more than a piece of jewellery — it’s a symbol of love, promise, and a lifetime together. At Planet Genesis Diamond Jewels, we believe your ring should reflect your story — crafted with purpose, sustainability, and beauty that lasts forever.
Understanding the 4Cs of Diamonds
When it comes to selecting the right diamond, understanding the 4Cs — Cut, Colour, Clarity, and Carat — is essential. These factors define a diamond’s quality, brilliance, and overall value.
- Cut: The most important factor — it determines how light interacts with the diamond, giving it sparkle and fire.
- Colour: Diamonds range from colourless to light yellow; colourless stones reflect the most brilliance.
- Clarity: Refers to the presence of inclusions or blemishes. Fewer inclusions mean higher clarity.
- Carat: A measure of the diamond’s weight, but size doesn’t always equal beauty. Balance is key.
Finding the Right Ring Style
Every love story is unique — your ring should be too. From classic solitaires to bold halo designs, Planet Genesis offers a range of handcrafted styles that blend timeless elegance with modern artistry.
- Solitaire Rings: Simple, elegant, and focused on one stunning diamond.
- Halo Rings: A central diamond surrounded by a ring of smaller stones for added brilliance.
- Three-Stone Rings: Symbolising your past, present, and future.
- Vintage-Inspired Rings: Old-world charm reimagined for modern elegance.
- Custom Creations: Designed by you, crafted by our artisans — your vision, your ring.
Lab-Grown vs Natural Diamonds
Both lab-grown and natural diamonds share the same brilliance, durability, and sparkle — the only difference lies in how they’re created. At Planet Genesis, we specialise in IGI-certified lab-grown diamonds that are ethical, sustainable, and up to 50% more affordable than mined diamonds. For clients who prefer natural diamonds, we offer responsibly sourced alternatives with full transparency.
Choosing the Perfect Metal
The metal you choose defines your ring’s personality. Whether you prefer the warmth of gold or the modern appeal of platinum, our experts guide you through every choice.
- White Gold: Sleek, modern, and timeless.
- Yellow Gold: Classic warmth with a traditional glow.
- Rose Gold: Romantic and distinctive, with vintage allure.
- Platinum: Premium, hypoallergenic, and made to last forever.
Ring Settings That Define Style
The diamond setting isn’t just functional — it defines the entire aesthetic of your ring. Choose one that reflects your personality and lifestyle.
- Prong Setting: A timeless favourite that lets light enter the diamond for maximum sparkle.
- Bezel Setting: Sleek and modern, offering durability and a minimalist look.
- Halo Setting: Adds extra brilliance with surrounding accent stones.
- Pavé Setting: Small diamonds along the band create continuous shine.
