Tiffany & Co
An iconic name across the world, Tiffany & Co. has been producing exquisite jewellery since 1837 and for many aficionados, their personal collection of pieces wouldn’t be complete without at least one Tiffany branded item.
If you’re buying an engagement ring for someone who wants to be able to say ‘it’s a Tiffany’ then this is the place to shop. It’s a name which is synonymous with elegant, simplistic style and perhaps the ultimate engagement ring designer label.
The website is clean and crisp and in the engagement ring section you can choose from a variety of settings, metal types and exclusive Tiffany collection designs. It’s important to know from the outset however that you can’t buy a complete ring direct from the site simply by choosing one you see on-screen. Once you’ve made the decision on the style you want, it’s then a case of consulting one of their experts who will take you through the ring-making process. It’s a personalised experience with the back up of the ultimate quality guarantee and every ring will always be a future heirloom piece.
Ritani
With bases in Seattle and New York, Ritani has been climbing the industry ladder at speed since its inception in 1999. They source their own diamonds which are all certified by either the GIA or AGS and if you want to design your own ring, they have a custom made feature on their site which is seen to be one of best within the online jewellery community.
If you’re not sure of the overall look you want to achieve for your chosen ring, Ritani is incredibly helpful.

It’s a great way to be inspired if you know you want a ring of beauty but don’t quite know the exact design.
With experts on hand to help with any questions you may have about the rings you can buy or the process of designing your own, Ritani has all the elements required for a fantastic shopping experience.
Buy quality, buy beauty
The most important thing to remember when buying an engagement ring is that you are making a purchase to last a lifetime. Always choose one which is the best you can afford, learn about diamonds and the different styles of rings available and research a company to ensure you’re happy dealing with them. Don’t settle for second best, take on board the reviews of experts and when you present the ring on bended knee, her eyes will sparkle as much as the diamond you’ve unveiled.
