Finding the Engagement Ring You’ll Say Yes to Forever
An engagement ring is more than a piece of jewelry; it’s the beginning of a promise. It’s a symbol of love, commitment, and a story that’s just getting started. At Herman Hiss & Company, we believe finding the right engagement ring should feel exciting and personal, never overwhelming.
Whether you’re just beginning to explore styles or ready to take the next step, here’s what to know as you start the journey.
Start With Style, Not Rules
There’s no single “right” engagement ring, only the one that feels like it. Some gravitate toward classic solitaires, others love vintage-inspired details, halos, or clean, modern designs.
Lifestyle matters too. Consider how the ring will be worn day to day, from work to weekends. A ring that fits naturally into everyday life will be loved for years to come.
Diamonds, Made Simple
You’ve likely heard of the 4 Cs—cut, color, clarity, and carat weight—but what matters most is how the diamond looks and feels to you.
A well-cut diamond brings exceptional sparkle, regardless of size, and different shapes offer their own personality and presence. Many couples also explore both natural and lab-grown diamonds, each offering its own beauty and benefits.
Our goal is to make diamond shopping feel clear and comfortable, with honest guidance and no pressure.
Custom or Ready-to-Wear
Some rings feel like love at first sight. Others are meant to be designed from the ground up.
Custom engagement rings allow you to choose every detail, from the diamond to the setting and metal, resulting in a piece that’s uniquely yours. Prefer to see and try on styles in person? Our curated collection offers timeless designs and modern favorites, ready to fall in love with.
Thinking Ahead
An engagement ring is just the beginning. Wedding bands, anniversary rings, and future milestones all become part of the story. Choosing a ring that pairs beautifully with what’s to come adds meaning and longevity to your choice.
