Conduct a scouting mission – with or without him.

There’s just nothing like the once-in-a-lifetime experience of shopping for an engagement ring.You have been dreaming about this your entire life; of course you want to be a part of the romance and excitement. And you should be. Whether that means visiting on your own, with a friend, or you and he together.

The average Spence showroom displays over 3000 ring prototypes. You could spend an entire day trying on various rings and styles without trying on the same ring twice. You don’t even need a salesperson because our showcases are wide-open! (Can you stand it?!) Just reach in and grab whatever you like. This is engagement ring shopping the way it should be. No pressure and pure fun.

All our floor samples are cubic zirconium mounted atop ring prototypes. It allows us to differentiate our experience from those offered by our competitors, and it allows you to shop at your own pace and be in complete control of your time here.

Top it all off with the most educational and interactive “4-Cs” presentation in the industry and you can start to see how browsing at Spence Diamonds is a rewarding experience for everyone …and unlike any other jewelry store experience you have ever had.

Look for opportunities to drop hints.

There are all kinds of subtle little ways to send a message. Leaving a magazine open to a display of a designer engagement ring you think is beautiful; complimenting the ring of the woman dining at the next table; using examples from other facets of life to express to him that the biggest and most expensive options are not always the best ones.

Send signals.

If he has engagement rings on his mind, he might be more inclined to notice the rest of your jewelry collection. Be selective about your accessory selections at this time. Wear pieces that will help him better understand your style and preferences.

For women only.

Give him some parameters.

Are you thinking gold or platinum? Which is your favorite diamond shape? Do you like the solitaire look or something with multiple stones? What about the setting? There is a big difference between choosing the ring and giving him some basic information to go on. He has to address these questions one way or another. You might as well provide him with the answers he needs to make a confident decision, right?

Browse our online engagement ring selection to get a better idea about what you want.

Enlist the help of friends.

There are few things as valuable as a trusted confidant in times like these. It gives you someone to bounce ideas off of and get a second opinion from. Not only that, but you will be amazed at how much information is “accidentally leaked” when a savvy double agent is positioned as a go-between.

Let him see your Wish List.

Whether you are shopping online or visiting the Spence Diamonds closest to you, we keep your potential engagement ring candidates and important criteria on file in your own personal Wish List. You can send it to him at any time, or if you prefer, we can do that for you. One of the first questions we ask when a customer engages us is whether or not we have a Wish List on file to consult.
