Brisbane is the capital city of the State of Queensland, Australia. In terms of population, Brisbane has 2,439,000 residents, according to the latest 2021 survey. The city is also blessed with having an average of 280 days of sunny days every year. Although not as popular as Sydney, Brisbane draws in its share of tourists with attractions such as the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary and the Story Bridge Adventure Climb. Another tourist attraction that Brisbane offers is the Brisbane Botanic Gardens at Mount Coot-tha, which is also a great venue for weddings. Speaking of weddings, if you are planning to propose to your partner, then you need to know how to properly shop for engagement rings in Brisbane. Here are some of the things to consider. 

Consider the Shape and Style of the Diamond. The diamond is the focal point of an engagement ring. Therefore, you need to consider the diamond shape you want to be embedded in the engagement ring. When choosing the diamond, you have to consider the jewelry taste of your significant other. However, obtaining this information may become a challenge, especially if you want your proposal to be a surprise. One way to work around this is to ask your partner’s closest friends or relatives about their jewelry preferences. While you are at it, ask her relatives to secretly get your partner’s correct ring size to save you the embarrassment of presenting a ring at your proposal that is either too big or too small for his or her finger.

Choose the Metal Band. Another thing to consider is the type of metal for the band. Different engagement rings in Brisbane may come with bands of different metals, including gold, silver, white gold, tungsten, and titanium. Each metal has its advantages and disadvantages in terms of pricing, hypo-allergenic properties, and durability. When considering your ring metal, you should also think ahead and choose a metal that will match your wedding band. Brides will usually wear the engagement ring and the wedding band after the wedding, so it is best to choose matching or complementing metals for both rings. Likewise, if you plan, you can have the jeweler design an engagement ring that will interlock with the wedding band making both rings appear as one. 

Determine Carat Size. One of the most important considerations in choosing a diamond is its carat size. A diamond’s carat is the main determinant of its price. The higher the carat, the higher the price. The most common carat size for engagement rings in Brisbane is a 1.0-carat center stone. However, jewelers see a shift with increasing sales for larger diamond sizes ranging from 1.5 to 2.0 carats. When choosing a carat size, you have to consider your budget. A 1.0 and a 1.2-carat diamond will not look significantly different in size, but their prices may differ by as much as twenty percent.

Buy Certified Diamonds. It is also important to check if the diamond is certified by recognized gem authorities in Australia, such as the Diamond Certification Laboratory of Australia (DCLA). A certified diamond means that the stone is from natural sources and have not undergone any treatment to enhance its quality. 

Compromise and Negotiate. Most jewelers are flexible when it comes to pricing, which means that you can negotiate the ring’s price. Likewise, when buying engagement rings in Brisbane, you need to learn to compromise on some of the diamond’s qualities to get the perfect ring for your loved one without overspending your budget.
