We understand that choosing an engagement ring is one of life's most meaningful decisions, and with so many options available, finding the right one can feel overwhelming.

That is why we have created our Engagement Ring Curator to help you explore and refine your preferences from the comfort of your home, so you can find the right ring when you visit your local jeweller. Within this article, we cover how to use our curator along with our experience on how to select the right engagement ring for you.

A Guide to our Engagement Ring Curator

Our Engagement Ring Curator is designed to make finding the perfect piece easy with four simple steps.

1. Choose your Ring Style


Start by selecting the engagement ring styles you would like to explore. Our Engagement Ring Curator features a variety of designs, including:

  • Classic solitaire rings

  • Trilogy rings

  • Halo designs

  • Traditional cluster rings

If you would like to compare different looks, you can select multiple styles at once.

2. Select your Stone Cut


Next, choose the stone cut that best reflects your personal taste. Our Engagement Ring Curator includes:


Round Brilliant – An ageless classic, ideal for solitaire and halo settings.


Oval – An elegant, elongated cut that works beautifully in cluster designs.


Cushion – A vintage-inspired cut with soft edges, perfect for halo and trilogy rings.


Emerald – A sophisticated step-cut stone that shines on its own or alongside accent gemstones.


Princess – A contemporary square cut with exceptional brilliance.


Marquise – A distinctive, elongated shape originally commissioned by King Louis XV in the 18th century.


3. Choose your Gemstone


While diamonds remain the traditional choice for engagement rings, they are far from the only option. Our Engagement Ring Curator focuses on three exceptional gemstones:

  • Diamonds

  • Sapphires

  • Rubies

Each is renowned for its beauty and durability, making them ideal symbol of lasting love that can be treasured for generations. Our Engagement Ring Curator currently contains these stones, but will expand.

4. Select your Metal


Finally, choose your preferred metal. At Michael Spiers, all yellow gold and white gold engagement rings are crafted in luxurious 18ct gold. Many of our designs also incorporate a combination of precious metals for a unique finish.

How to select an engagement ring

Choosing the perfect engagement ring is not a decision to be rushed. It is a deeply personal journey, one that reflects your story and the enduring bond you share with your partner. As a lasting symbol of your love, the ring should feel as meaningful and unique as the relationship it represents.


The first step is always understanding what matters most to your partner. An open and thoughtful conversation can offer valuable insight into their personal style, preferred stone, and the details they cherish most in an engagement ring. This could even include the use of a family member's ring.


If you wish to preserve an element of surprise, these discussions can be approached subtly, particularly when it comes to practical considerations such as ring size.


A good tactic may even be to walk past a showroom and look at rings with your partner, just remember to note down any preferences so you do not forget!


Once you have a sense of their preferences, begin your exploration with our Engagement Ring Curator. Designed to inspire and guide, it will help you discover styles, settings, and designs that resonate with your vision as aforementioned. 


Following this, we recommend visiting one of our South West Showrooms or a trusted local jeweller, where you can experience a curated selection of rings in person and receive expert guidance throughout the process.


Above all, take your time. An engagement ring is a once-in-a-lifetime purchase and a piece your partner will treasure every day for years to come. Explore different styles, diamond cuts, gemstones, and settings with care, allowing yourself the space to find a ring that feels truly exceptional. The perfect engagement ring is not simply chosen; it is discovered.
