Should I buy my engagement ring online or in store?
Debating online vs local jeweler. Online seems way cheaper but I'm worried about quality and getting scammed. Anyone gone the online route and regretted it? Or was it actually fine?

Platinum vs white gold for engagement ring?
Can't decide on metal. Platinum is pricier but lasts longer? Or is white gold fine?

How much should I spend on an engagement ring?
Hearing everything from '2 months salary' (which I think is outdated) to 'whatever feels right'. What did you actually spend? Trying to set a realistic budget.

What makes Lily Collin’s rose cut diamond special?
Rose cut diamonds were inspired by the shape of a rose bud. They’ve been around since the 1500s and are made to optimize sparkle in candlelight which gives off soft glow and sultry luster. One of the most unique cuts because they don’t have the same intense sparkle as a round brilliant cut. They offer an antiquated look, romantic, vintage feel that stands out from modern, standardized ones. Truly, diamonds that don't look like everyone else.
Distinctive Structure: They feature a flat base and low profile, allowing them to sit closer to the skin. Which feels comfortable for everyday wear.
Unique Sparkle (Glow vs. Brilliance): They have more variation in cuts around4 to 24 facets. And the fewer the facets, the less sparkly the stone.
Large Visual Appearance: With no pavilion, the weight is concentrated on top. A 1-carat rose cut will look physically larger and wider than a 1-carat brilliant cut.
Unique Shapes: Rose cut diamonds are known for their shape versatility - you can have rose cuts in round, oval, pear, kite, hexagon, square, and rounded square shapes.
They certainly offer a timeless aesthetic for brides-to-be who love a unique stone to cherish.
