How to Choose the Perfect Engagement Ring Before the Holidays

The holiday season is right around the corner — and with it comes one of the most romantic times of the year to propose. Between cozy nights, family gatherings, and sparkling lights, it’s no wonder that November and December are the most popular months for engagements.

If you’re planning to pop the question this holiday season, now’s the time to find the perfect ring. Here’s how to make sure it’s one she’ll love — and one you’ll feel confident choosing.

1. Start Early

The holiday season is busy for everyone, especially jewelers. Custom designs, resizing, and special orders can take time, so starting your ring search early ensures you’re not rushing right before the big moment. At RS Diamond Broker, our Dallas team helps clients design and select rings that fit their timeline — without the stress.

2. Know Her Style

Think about the jewelry your partner already wears. Does she love classic and timeless pieces, or is her style more modern and bold?

• Classic: Round brilliant or oval diamonds with solitaire or halo settings.

• Modern: Hidden halos, east-west settings, or sleek bezel designs.

• Vintage-inspired: Unique details like milgrain edges, filigree work, or colored gemstones.

If you’re not sure, we can help you narrow down the options with expert guidance (and a few subtle hints from friends or family never hurt!).

3. Set a Budget That Works for You

Forget the old “three months’ salary” myth — what matters most is finding a ring that feels right for your partner and your financial comfort. RS Diamond Broker offers both natural and lab-grown diamonds, allowing you to get more sparkle for your budget while maintaining exceptional quality.

4. Understand the 4 Cs

Before you buy, make sure you know the basics:

• Cut: Determines how much your diamond sparkles.

• Color: The less color, the rarer the diamond.

• Clarity: Fewer inclusions mean higher quality.

• Carat: The size of the diamond.

Our team has over 30 years of experience helping couples find diamonds that balance all four beautifully — so you get brilliance and value.

5. Consider Going Custom

Want a ring that’s as unique as your love story? A custom-designed engagement ring allows you to create something truly personal. Whether it’s a hidden message engraved inside the band or a design inspired by her favorite era, our Dallas showroom specializes in turning your ideas into heirloom-worthy pieces.

6. Think About Timing

If you’re planning a Thanksgiving, Christmas, or New Year’s Eve proposal, aim to have your ring ready a few weeks in advance. That way, you can relax, enjoy the holidays, and focus on the big “yes.”
