FIND OUT HER RING SIZE
Many people fall at this hurdle, so be careful not to make the same mistake. If you can't find out for sure do not despair, changing size afterwards is easy enough for our master craftsmen. Getting it right first time just helps to show you have put genuine thought into the process. Majesty Jewellers have unique resources that will help you find your partner's finger size. It's really just that simple. Want to keep it a surprise ? That's not difficult either.
START WITH THE AVERAGES
The average ring size for most women is between a size "J" and size "L". We also know that the average sized women in the U.K is about 5 feet 6 - inches tall. You can off these averages to determine her ring size without her knowing. If she's shorter or weighs a little more, you can go up a size or two. If she's thinner and smaller, maybe try a size down. You get the idea. While this might work, it isn't the best way to find a ring size. Our success rate is 9 out of 10.
Everyone is different and not every woman is going to fit in with the average. Some women also like a tighter-fitting ring, while others prefer a loose fit. So here is another ground-breaking and exclusive formula invented by the founder of Majesty Jewellers of determining the ring size according to your girlfriend's dress size. The average dress size for most women in U.K is between a size "8" and size "14". This exclusive formula of determining the finger size according to the dress size has been invented after years of sales, research and surveys.
It's a good idea to keep in mind that the dominant hand might be a little bigger. So if she's right handed, her ring finger on the left hand - where she'll wear an engagement ring - might be one size smaller than the one on the right. This formula has worked for many of our customers and we hope it has now made it easy for you find her ring size.

- Dress size (8) - Finger size - Letter "I" or "J" but " J" would be an safer option. Best option for small and petite fingers.
- Dress size (10) - Finger size - Letter "K" or "L" would be an safer option. Best option for someone who is taller.
- Dress size (12) - Finger size - Letter "M" or "N" would be an safer option.

PICK THE ENGAGEMENT RING BAND
Your girlfriend will likely have a preference of the type of metal and colour for her engagement ring setting and we've created some guidance to help you get started. If you've done your research you will know what she prefers to wear but, we will educate you a bit further to aid your decision.
If your partner doesn't have a distinct preference for metal colour then you might have to make a judgement call. If she is a traditionalist then she might prefer yellow gold but, at the moment the most popular engagement rings are white in colour (Platinum), so we will focus on these two. One other thing you can do is by just looking at the other jewellery she wears such as a necklace or a earring and see what colour they are.
This will help you considering her personal preferences and decide on the best metal for you and your budget.
- Yellow gold is made by mixing pure gold with alloy metals such as copper and zinc.
- Rose gold is made using a mixture of pure gold with various alloys, with a higher concentration of copper than yellow gold. The copper gives it the rose-reddish tint.
- Platinum is naturally silvery-white in colour so, no alloy is used.

One other thing you can do is by just looking at the other jewellery she wears such as a necklace or a earring and see what colour they are.
- Platinum is extremely hard wearing and will last a very long time although, this is reflected in it's price as platinum is a bit more expensive than yellow gold. Platinum is the hardest metal and hence it keeps the diamond safe. Another advantage of platinum is that it is naturally white in colour, therefore does not need rhodium plating like white gold.
- 18ct Yellow Gold is rich in colour and a classic metal with high purity. Gold is less expensive than platinum, yet highly valued. Yellow gold has a warm glow.
This will help you considering her personal preferences and decide on the best metal for you and your budget.
SETTING
A ring's "settings" refers to the way in which the diamond is placed on the ring. Like everything else with an engagement ring, which setting you to choose depends on your girlfriend's preferences. The easiest way is to browse engagement ring settings on our website. If she is quite hands on or participates in outdoor activities, then might want to consider a lower setting so it does not catch on everything.
THE STONE
Now we are on the second part of your ring, the stone. Tradition dictates diamonds to be the stone for engagement rings. That's not to say you shouldn't go against tradition if you have prior knowledge of your girlfriend's personal taste. If this is the case, we suggest you to make an appointment with one of our experts to discuss other stones such as gemstones in greater detail. When selecting a diamond, you will need to account for the famous "FOUR C's":
Every Majesty Jewellers engagement ring begins with a diamond chosen for it's exceptional character and superlative quality. Each stone has been cut and polished to release all it's brilliance and distinctive beauty. Only then the designers and master craftsmen at Majesty Jewellers fashion and setting that will reveal each individual diamond's heart and soul in a way that is at once contemporary, classic & impeccably elegant. "No two diamonds are alike". Each diamond has a different nature. Each diamond must be handled the way you handle a person. Our discriminating connoisseurship of gemstones has not changed. And every engagement ring Majesty create is one of a kind.
- CUT - It refers more specifically to the proportions of the diamond and not the shape.
- COLOUR - This refers to where they are graded according to their "whiteness".
- CLARITY - It concerns how many (or few) mineral deposits or impurities affect the quality.
- CARAT WEIGHT - Which defines the total weight of the diamond.

MATCH YOUR FIANCE'S PERSONALITY ?

From square princess to round, and teardrop to heart-shaped, each shape has a unique meaning and appeals to different tastes.

There are 10 basic diamond shapes to choose from: Round, Princess, Emerald, Cushion, Pear, Radiant, Heart, Oval, Marquise & Asscher Cut.
