Traditionally, engagement rings have been a surprise—carefully selected by one partner to add an element of mystery to the proposal. However, more and more couples are now choosing to shop for their engagement ring together. This modern shift in relationships reflects the importance of communication, collaboration, and shared decision-making. By shopping together, couples can ensure the ring truly reflects their individual style, values, and commitment.

At EF Studios, we love helping couples find or design their perfect ring. Whether you're after something timeless or a little more unique, here are some of our favourite designs to suit every style.

For couples drawn to timeless elegance, the oval diamond solitaire is always a popular choice. This design combines simplicity with undeniable beauty, allowing the centre diamond to take full focus. The oval shape offers a refined twist on the traditional round diamond, with its graceful, elongated silhouette flattering every hand. It’s perfect for couples seeking a classic design with just the right touch of individuality. This ring is a testament to the timelessness of true love.

Another beautiful option for couples is the Sophie Diamond Ring. This design takes the beloved oval solitaire and adds a modern twist with a hidden halo beneath the centre stone, offering an extra touch of sparkle. It’s ideal for those who want something classic but with a little more brilliance and detail. The hidden halo catches the light in subtle, enchanting ways, giving the ring a dazzling effect without being too showy.

For couples looking to move away from tradition and embrace a more modern look, the Lauren Diamond Ring is a standout option. Featuring a sleek, bezel-set emerald-cut diamond, this ring has a minimalist yet striking design. Known for its elegant, clean lines, the emerald cut exudes sophistication, while the bezel setting provides a secure and contemporary feel. The Lauren is perfect for couples after a chic, understated ring that still commands attention.

For couples after something truly different, the Lovers Diamond Ring is sure to impress. With its unconventional design, featuring asymmetry and unique bezel set round diamond on an organic flow band, this ring is perfect for those who want to make a statement. It’s a bold and modern choice, ideal for couples who want their ring to be as distinctive as their love. The Lovers Diamond Ring is more than just a piece of jewellery—it’s a one-of-a-kind work of art.

Shopping for an engagement ring together is not just a practical choice—it’s an experience that creates lasting memories. Instead of a simple transaction, it becomes a shared journey where both partners’ tastes and preferences come together to create something personal and meaningful. Whether you’re drawn to the timeless elegance of the oval diamond solitaire, the intricate beauty of the Sophie Diamond Ring, the sleek modernity of the Lauren Diamond Ring, or the bold individuality of the Lovers Diamond Ring, shopping together ensures you’ll end up with a piece you both truly love.

At EF Studios, we understand that every couple is unique. That’s why we offer bespoke designs to help you create a ring that celebrates your love story. Our commitment to using lab-grown diamonds and ethically sourced gemstones ensures that your ring not only looks beautiful but aligns with your values as well.
