We’ve gone all out to make sure the engagement ring shopping process is romantic, low-stress, and fun.  (That’s right – fun!)   See why women love shopping at Spence.

Are you feeling uncertain about your role in all this? Set up an appointment so we can learn about your needs, talk about your options and give you ideas on how you can be involved.

First Step- Giving Him Hints

Dropping hints is always an acceptable part of engagement ring shopping etiquette. Even if the two of you are a bit more traditional, there are a number ways you can make your wishes known while preserving the “element of surprise” and leaving the final decision up to him. Here are a few ideas to get the wheels turning:

  • Browse our online engagement ring selection and place the ones you like in your own personal Spence Diamonds Wish List. If sending him that list yourself seems too pushy, leave it up to us.
  • Take advantage of the opportunities everyday life provides to draw his attention to rings and styles that appeal to you.
  • Wear jewelry that represents your sense of taste and personal preferences.
  • Enlist the help of a friend who is willing to act as a “go-between."
  • Give him some basic parameters to help him make a confident decision. Things like diamond shape, type of metal, setting style, etc.
  • Conduct a scouting mission at a Spence Diamonds near you and hear more hint-dropping ideas in person.

Second Step - Narrowing Down Choices Together

There are few experiences as romantic as shopping for engagement rings together and we do everything we can to add to the excitement for both of you.

The first thing you’ll notice when you walk in is our wide open, self-serve showcases. You can mosey around trying on thousands of designer engagement ring prototypes without having to ask a salesperson. Once you’ve identified some potential candidates we’ll help you narrow down your choices by teaching the two of you everything you need to know about diamonds. Ours is the most comprehensive and interactive diamond education in all of Canada. Whereas most jewelers hand you a diamond and a loupe, we use binocular microscopes, GIA Facetware software and other specialty tools to show you the true cut, color and clarity of your diamond.

Those are just a couple of the many ways in which browsing at Spence Diamonds is different than any other diamond store you’ve ever been to. If you are comfortable looking at rings together, it is definitely an experience both of you will enjoy.

I’m ready to start looking at engagement rings.

Third Step - Buying the Ring Together

Your engagement ring will be the symbol of your love for the rest of your life. Many couples purchase the ring together.  Even if the ring isn’t a surprise, how he proposes and presents it to you is. Buying the ring together allows you and he to share an experience both of you will remember for a lifetime.

But with all the romanticism and excitement inherent in shopping for engagement rings, are there any special reasons why you should buy your diamond at Spence?

We think so. Then again, we work here. Why not stop by the closest Spence Diamonds and judge for yourself?

See how romantic it was for other couples like you.
