Congratulations! You’ve decided to take the next big step in your relationship and propose to the love of your life. But now comes the daunting task of choosing or creating the perfect engagement ring. If you’re a guy with little to no knowledge about diamonds or jewellery, don’t worry – you’re not alone. The good news is, with the right guidance and a personalised service, the process can be stress-free, enjoyable, and even rewarding.
At Maazi Aurum, we specialise in helping guys like you create a ring that’s as unique as your love story. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you navigate the process and craft the perfect engagement ring for your partner.
Step 1: Understand Your Partner’s Style
Before diving into diamonds and settings, take a moment to think about your partner’s personal style. Do they prefer classic, modern, or vintage designs? Are they into minimalist looks or something more bold and eye-catching? Pay attention to the jewellery they already wear – this can give you clues about their preferences.
Pro Tip: If you’re unsure, discreetly ask their friends or family for advice. They might have insights you hadn’t considered.
Step 2: Set a Budget
Engagement rings come in a wide range of prices, so it’s important to set a budget that works for you. Remember, the ring is a symbol of your love, not a measure of it. At Maazi Aurum, we offer options for every budget, ensuring you get the best value without compromising on quality.
Pro Tip: Don’t forget to factor in additional costs like resizing, insurance, or future maintenance.

Step 3: Learn the Basics of Diamonds
You don’t need to become a diamond expert, but understanding the basics will help you make informed decisions. Diamonds are graded based on the 4 Cs:
Cut: The quality of the diamond’s proportions and symmetry. This affects how sparkly it is.
Colour: Diamonds range from colourless to slightly yellow. The less color, the higher the value.
Clarity: Refers to the presence of internal or external flaws (inclusions). Most flaws are invisible to the naked eye.
Carat: The weight of the diamond, which impacts its size.
Pro Tip: Focus on cut quality first – a well-cut diamond will sparkle brilliantly, even if it’s smaller or has slight imperfections.
Step 4: Choose the Ring Setting
The setting is what holds the diamond in place and gives the ring its overall look. Popular options include:
Solitaire: A single diamond, timeless and elegant.
Halo: A centre stone surrounded by smaller diamonds for extra sparkle.
Pavé: Tiny diamonds set into the band for a glittering effect.
Vintage: Intricate designs inspired by past eras.
Pro Tip: Consider your partner’s lifestyle. If they’re active or work with their hands, a low-profile setting might be more practical.
Step 5: Select the Metal
The metal of the band affects the ring’s durability and appearance. Common choices include:
Platinum: Durable, hypoallergenic, and naturally white.
White Gold: Affordable and stylish, but requires occasional re-plating.
Yellow Gold: Classic and timeless.
Rose Gold: Romantic and trendy, with a warm pink hue.
Pro Tip: Match the metal to your partner’s existing jewellery for a cohesive look.
Step 6: Add Personal Touches
This is where you can make the ring truly unique. Consider adding personal touches like:
Engraving: A special date, initials, or a short message.
Custom Design: Work with our designers to create a one-of-a-kind ring.
Gemstone Accents: Incorporate your partner’s birthstone or a favourite colour.
Pro Tip: Think about the story behind the ring – it’s something you’ll both cherish forever.
