How to choose a ring size and how to measure finger size at home

How to choose a ring size and how to measure finger size at home — this is a question many engaged couples ask. It's crucial that the size is accurate at the custom ring design stage, as later alterations can be costly.
Simply use a piece of paper or a strip of paper: wrap it gently around your finger, mark a point, measure the length in mm, and use a size chart (e.g., size 12 is ~16.5 mm circumference). Make sure to measure your finger on a warmer day (your finger doesn't shrink).

 

While it seems simple, incorrect fitting is one of the most common reasons for a failed purchase. When choosing a "custom ring," ask for a trial ring or a wax model to confirm the size. At Diament Expert, we offer support with fitting and free adjustments within a specified time after purchase — with no additional hidden costs.



How expensive should an engagement ring be? Realistic ranges and what "cheap diamond ring" means

How expensive should an engagement ring be? This is a question that arises right after the decision to get engaged. The traditional "one month's salary" rule is slowly becoming a thing of the past. Currently in Poland, people most often spend PLN 2,000–5,000. However, if you dream of a cheap diamond ring, it is now possible to buy a model with a ~1 ct diamond in the range below PLN 5,000 gross — of course, with a reasonable compromise on quality and style.

For comparison:

  • High-quality natural stones (1–2 ct, color D–F, clarity VS1+) are an expense of PLN 10,000–30,000 and more.
  • Lab-grown stones (1 ct, color G–H, clarity SI1+) can cost only a few thousand PLN — hence the possibility of a "cheap ring." At Diament Expert, you have a lowest price guarantee for this segment.

It's worth remembering: the market value depends on many factors – shape, certificate, setting, brand. Too cheap can mean no certificate or lower quality – that's why you should trust a brand that provides full transparency. Check out Diament Expert's offer – you'll find rings that meet both budget and quality requirements.



What is the best type of diamond for an engagement ring? Natural or lab-grown?

What is the best type of diamond for an engagement ring? The market has changed significantly in recent years. Lab-grown diamonds have achieved visual quality comparable to natural ones, at a much lower price. For engagement rings, where appearance is a priority, and not always an investment – lab-grown is a very sensible choice.

On the other hand – if you are thinking about long-term value, inheritance, collecting – natural diamonds still have an advantage. At Diament Expert, we offer both types – always with a certificate and a guarantee of authenticity. So you can choose:

  • Lab-grown – larger size with a lower budget,
  • Natural – higher budget, but greater value potential.

When choosing, pay attention to 4C: Carat, Color, Clarity, and Cut. And remember: not just the carat, but the proportions and setting determine how the ring looks on the finger. Tip: with an oval or emerald-cut, the carat may be larger, but the visible effect may be more subtle than an identical carat in a round cut.



Custom-made ring – benefits, process, what to look for

A custom-made ring is the ideal option if you want something unique – not a mass-produced item "off the shelf." At Diament Expert, you have the opportunity to collaborate with top jewelers throughout Poland who execute projects directly with the client. The process usually looks like this: consultation → stone selection → sketch / visualization → execution → certification → pickup.

Main benefits:

  • You can choose every parameter: metal, stone shape, finish.
  • Better value for money – you eliminate the frustration of ready-made collections.
  • Opportunity to create something truly personal – initials, date, engraving, type of stone.

What to watch out for:

  • Price transparency – ask about the cost of the stone itself + manufacturing cost + any surcharges.
  • Certificates – choose only diamonds with a reputable certificate (e.g., GIA).
  • The ring should be comfortable for everyday wear – not just beautiful in the catalog.
  • Inquire about the terms of any size adjustment – in a budget offer, this might be a hidden cost.

At Diament Expert, you receive full support and a guarantee: a lowest price guarantee, a certificate of authenticity, and the ability to create custom orders – the ideal combination of education and practice.



Trends and curiosities – what are engaged couples choosing in 2025?
