Valentine’s Day Proposal Guide: Choosing the Right Engagement Ring

Valentine’s Day is not only a time to celebrate romance, but also one of the most popular days of the year for heartfelt marriage proposals in Canada. If you’re planning to pop the question in Edmonton this February 14th, choosing the right engagement ring can feel both exciting and overwhelming. At Ultra Jewellers, we understand the significance of this decision and are dedicated to helping you find a ring as unique as your love story. This expert guide provides actionable steps and insider advice to ensure your proposal shines as brightly as your future together.

The Significance of Choosing the Right Engagement Ring

An engagement ring is more than just jewellery—it is a symbol of commitment and a cherished reminder of your love’s beginning. In Edmonton, where family traditions and modern trends often intertwine, selecting the perfect ring means finding something that resonates personally and stylistically. The right ring combines expert craftsmanship, ethical sourcing, and a style that fits your partner's personality, making every proposal moment memorable.

Understanding Diamond and Gemstone Selection

One of the most common questions we hear at Ultra Jewellers is, “What should I look for in a diamond?” The answer goes beyond just sparkle. Here in Edmonton, many couples are interested in the Four Cs—carat, cut, colour, and clarity—but also want reassurance that their diamond is sourced responsibly. Our GIA-certified gemologists guide you through the selection process, answering questions about clarity, ethical sourcing, and value. We also offer a stunning range of alternative gemstones for those wanting a ring that stands apart, including sapphires, rubies, and emeralds.

How to Choose a Ring Style that Reflects Your Loved One

Your partner’s lifestyle, fashion preferences, and even career can influence the ideal setting or metal for their engagement ring. At Ultra Jewellers, we see growing trends among Edmonton couples, such as classic solitaire designs, modern halo settings, intricate vintage bands, and even custom creations. 

Consider the following when narrowing your choices:

- Solitaire settings for timeless elegance and classic taste 

- Halo designs for added sparkle and visual impact 

- Three-stone rings symbolizing past, present, and future 

- Vintage-inspired details for romantic, heirloom appeal 

- Custom designs for a truly personal touch

No matter the style, we help ensure your choice is both beautiful and practical for everyday wear—an important aspect for Edmonton’s active outdoor lifestyle.
