It’s such an exciting time finding ‘the one’, especially if you know an engagement from it is on the cards! Maybe you’ve chatted about it, and together dreamed up the perfect way to agree to marry, or, perhaps your partner is playing it cool and hasn’t mentioned it at all… In which case, a few hints from you about your preferred ring style wouldn’t go a miss, right? On that note, perhaps you are planning on doing the asking?! I have some engagement ring inspo either way!

And since it’s diamond-free, it comes with a beautiful price tag too!
