What sort of thinker are you ?

Each bride is unique and getting engaged to be married is a magical time. This guide is for you if you are the one expecting a proposal… or if you have already said Yes! Or if you are the one doing the proposing.

The wedding plans may be already in the air but first things first… The Engagement Ring Itself.
The engagement ring will last as long as your wedding vows, an eternity and this may possibly be the most precious and magnificent piece of jewellery you will ever have. It may also be the most worn piece of jewellery that person ever has. So it needs to be like you, truly special and reflecting your own individual style. How to start. What sort of thinker are you?

Blue sky thinkers?

If you and your partner are blue sky thinkers you are people who wants to look at the overall picture, to see the final result before looking at the finer detail. Then start here.

One way to start is by thinking of the larger picture. Ok so by the wedding day there will be three rings. The most magnificent is typically the bride to be's Engagement ring featuring diamonds or gemstones. This is normally later paired with the brides complimentary wedding band. The grooms wedding band typically compliments the brides wedding band. However it is not uncommon grooms to have rings with diamonds too.

At Cairn Diamonds we can help you to design your entire collection of rings and wedding jewellery from diamond rings to tiaras for the bride and gift jewellery for bridesmaids or mothers and in-laws. We also design grooms engagement rings with diamonds more discreetly placed on the side or even underneath. Contact us to help you design your Blue Sky engagement and wedding sparkle to design a beautifully co-ordinated wedding day.

Are you a Hyper-Focus Thinker?

If you are a hyper focus thinker it is best to start on one detail so as not to become over whelmed.
So let’s just start by looking at the Engagement Ring. Lets initially put down all those bridal magazines, tabs of websites you plan to read later and just close your eyes and think of your imagined ring... what colour is it, is it glistening in all directions or more understated, refined?…. In our experience it is easiest to start with the diamond or centre stone. For all focus of the ring starts, stems and leads to the centre diamond. Think of the shape or carat weight, from here all your specific details will entwine together.

Before you close your eyes completely let me just say, at Cairn Diamonds we can create the ring for you starting with exactly what you would like it to look like and we can help you through the entire design process. With each specific detail no matter how minor or major, we will patiently continue with you so that throughout your life you will be wearing a ring designed by you, with a diamond or diamonds, chosen by you. Let us do the hyper-focusing with you. Book an appointment with us today.
