The Ultimate Guide for Men to Buy Her Engagement Ring

Congratulations! You’re about to take a major step in your relationship. We know choosing the perfect engagement ring can feel overwhelming, but we’re here to make the process easier for you.

That’s why we’ve created this ultimate engagement ring buying guide—breaking it down into four essential steps. By the end, you’ll be well-equipped to pick the perfect ring with confidence.

Ready? Let’s dive in!

 

 

1) Understanding Your Partner’s Style

Before you start shopping, the first and most important step is understanding what your partner loves. With so many ring designs available, it’s easy to feel lost.

Instead of asking her directly (and spoiling the surprise), pay close attention to the jewelry she already wears:

✔ Does she prefer vintage or modern styles?

✔ Does she lean toward minimalist or bold statement pieces?

✔ What metal color does she usually wear—gold, silver, or rose gold?

Observing these small details will help you choose a ring that truly matches her personality and taste.

 

 

2) Setting Your Budget

You may have heard the old saying that an engagement ring should cost two months’ salary—but that’s just a marketing myth!

The truth is, there’s no fixed rule. Engagement rings range from £30 to £800+, and the perfect ring is one that fits your comfort level and budget.

At Rex Jewellers, we help you get the best value by cutting out the middlemen—offering high-quality rings at up to 50% less than traditional retailers. So, whether you want something affordable or luxurious, we’ve got you covered

 

3) Finding Her Ring Size (Without Ruining the Surprise!)

A perfect moment deserves a perfect fit, so knowing her ring size is crucial. If you don’t already know it, try this discreet 4-step method:

1️⃣ Borrow a ring she wears on her ring finger.

2️⃣ Trace the inner circle on a plain piece of paper.

3️⃣ Measure the diameter of the circle with a ruler.

4️⃣ Compare the measurement with our Ring Sizing Chart (check our resources section).

This ensures the ring fits perfectly—no resizing hassle needed!

 

 

4) Choosing the Right Ring Shape

The shape of the stone is what gives an engagement ring its unique personality. Some of the most popular shapes include:

💎 Round – The classic and most popular cut, known for its brilliance.

💎 Pear – A stylish teardrop shape that exudes elegance.

💎 Emerald – A vintage-inspired rectangular cut with a timeless look.

💎 Heart – A romantic and meaningful choice for true romantics.

Pick a shape that matches her style and personality—it’s the little details that make the ring extra special.
