Re: What is the best brand for engagement rings?
I would focus on the cut and clarity, not worry about the brand. Spend money on the quality or size of the stone, rather than on the name.

Re: What is the best brand for engagement rings?
I agree with the above post regarding the center stone. However, if you are referring to setting designers, I absolutely love my Ritani setting. You can see all of their designs at www.ritani.com.

Re: What is the best brand for engagement rings?
Tiffanys, Cartier and Harry Winston are among the highest 'ranked' brands, but like someone posted above, you can get a stone with the exact same quality for a lower price. :)

Re: What is the best brand for engagement rings?
def Tiffany. Its more reasonably priced than some of the others (cartier) and you know the stone is of supurb quality. It may be more expensive than purchasing from blue nile or other retailers, but you know you are getting quality and dont need to haggle, etc. Diamonds are an emotional decision and lack logic all together, so going for a better diamond and a good buying experience is in my opinion better than going for a "good deal."

Re: What is the best brand for engagement rings?
Custom made is the best, forget about brand.

Re: What is the best brand for engagement rings?
I agree with the above posts that the 4 C's are what you should really concentrate on. If brand is very important though, there is always Harry Winston, Cartier and Tiffany.

Re: What is the best brand for engagement rings?
I'd never intentionally look for specific brands. . . .
we have all my jewelry custom made so we can pick the best stones. Brand = mark up in my opinion. |

Re: What is the best brand for engagement rings?
If i had to choose again (with an unlimited budget), I'd get a beautiful vintage/estate diamond ring (I'm not spooky abt that since there's no way to know my 'new' diamonds are new.)
For brands, the people at Harry Winston are the nicest, IME. Great service, classic styles. |

Re: What is the best brand for engagement rings?
No BRAND is best. I tend to prefer avoiding the brands and getting TripleIdeal cut stones from a vendor online like Good Old Gold (goodoldgold.com), and buying a setting I like, even if it's another vendor.
Based on my AWFUL experience with one particular online vendor starting with the letter W, I STRONGLY recommend you never patronize them. |
