Engagement Rings

Are you ready to tie the knot?

Finding the person of your dreams is extraordinary. Finding the perfect engagement ring to celebrate that love is even more extraordinary.

At Poag Jewellers, we’re here to make that process easy, and yes, fun! We believe every individual deserves an engagement ring that’s as unique and special as your relationship. How do we do this? It starts by offering some of today’s top designers and award-winning styles from Noam Carver, Maple Leaf Diamonds, and Gabriel & Co. And, if you’re truly going for something exclusively you, custom designing the ring of your dreams might be the perfect option. We literally specialize in custom design. We get it. We understand making such an important decision can sometimes be overwhelming, so we’re here to guide you through that process.

Where does it start?

It starts with getting to know you. We’ll ask some important questions, mostly having to do with your style, likes and dislikes. For example, are you classic, contemporary, modern, traditional, or have a flair for all things vintage? If you tend to like more traditional and classic looks, a solitaire on a simple band may be just perfect for you – and, might we add, never goes out of style! Are you prone to skin allergies? Platinum (which is hypoallergenic) may be the best choice for you! There are endless options. And, you can begin your engagement ring search right here. But, we’d love you to stop in so we can lend a hand!

If it feels like a lot, no need to stress. We've got you covered! We'll help you narrow down the options – the right style, the perfect diamond, and yep, the ideal price.

Engagement Ring Trends

Engagement rings come in all sizes, shapes, and settings. If you’re looking for a little help, these top engagement ring trends will help you figure out which one is sure to get a “yes”!

A trend that started with Princess Diana, colour engagement rings are not only here to stay, the trend is growing. is growing! Couples are drawn to these elegant and vibrant hues that symbolize individuality and a break from tradition. It is a new, contemporary choice that adds a brilliant touch to your eternal promise.

PEAR-CUT STYLES

Not a classic type? Pear-shaped diamonds in mixed metals scream modern and fashion-forward, especially when paired with rose gold or set with pavé diamonds around the centre diamond. Very popular in the 1970s, this fancy-shape diamond is making a big comeback! We particularly love this style.

STACK IT UP

When one just won’t do, ring stacks are a major hit. Look for wedding bands to complement nicely with “tiara” style bands that form half-halos around centre gemstones. This style is worthy of a royal.

MULTI STONE RINGS

Stuck between choices? Multi-stone rings used to be mostly given for anniversaries, representing your past, present, and future together. But now, many are picking multiple diamonds to celebrate one awesome love story – yours.

MINIMALIST ROUND CUTS

This style, with two bands running parallel to each other and a gemstone separating them, is both dramatic and trendy. Your centre diamond will look like it’s suspended while it sparkles.

COLOUR

Lab Grown Diamonds

Chances are you’ve heard just enough about lab grown diamonds to be curious. If you’re wondering whether they’re right for you, consider the following before you decide.

Lab Grown vs. Natural Diamonds

A laboratory grown diamond has the same optical, chemical and physical properties as a natural diamond. It has the same chemical composition, refractive index, and 4Cs. To many, it is difficult to distinguish the difference. The biggest difference between a lab grown diamond and a mined diamond is how it originates. Lab grown diamonds are grown in a laboratory and natural, traditional diamonds are formed by natural processes under the earth’s mantle. Using advanced technology – either extreme pressure and heat or a special deposition process – lab diamonds are grown from the tiny carbon seeds of pre-existing diamonds. At Poag Jewellers, we feel it’s important to see a lab grown diamond side-by-side with a natural diamond and have our qualified gemologists show you those differences.

Lab Grown Diamonds are not "Simulated" Diamonds

Simulated diamonds can be anything from Moissanite, to Cubic Zirconia (CZ), White Sapphire and similar materials, which do not have the same physical and optical properties as diamonds. Simulated diamonds are meant to resemble mined diamonds but they are not diamonds in any sense of the word.

How are Diamonds Grown?

Lab grown diamonds are created or “grown” by recreating the same conditions that form mined diamonds but in a highly controlled laboratory instead of beneath the earth’s mantle.

To Sum Things Up

Lab grown diamonds aren’t for everyone. But they are an alternative for buyers with specific priorities. Because we’re passionate about all things diamond, we can appreciate the unique benefits of both mined and lab grown varieties. Because we are credentialed and professional we feel it’s important to fully explain the difference. But the final decision is up to you.
