Partner and I are shopping for engagement rings. I don’t know anything about jewelry. What’s the best place to start?

Decide how you feel about lab diamonds! They didn’t really exist when I got engaged, and it was much harder to find conflict free diamond. The value on lab created diamonds is awesome, but definitely decide whether you have some kind of feeling about a natural rock.

Lawyer/amateur jeweler here :-) If youre looking for less traditional/ more unique options maybe check out Bario Neal, pamela love, anna sheffield, Esqueleto. “Rough diamond world” is really cool diamond retailer, you can see which jewelers tag their work on its instagram. Also Spur jewelry does gorgeous reinvention work if you have any heirlooms to incorporate. Also can check out NYC jewlery week to get ideas from cool fine jewelers ! Good luck and congrats!

Does your partner have a clear idea of what they want? If so, I’d find the fishbowl for your city and ask for recommendations for reputable jewelers in the area.

If your partner doesn’t know what they want, I’d go to the engagement ring subreddit for inspiration!

Basically you just start looking at rings and find what speaks to you guys. Make sure you’ve both discussed a budget beforehand though.

If you need recommendations for DC and Virginia, let me know!

Schedule an engagement ring appt at Tiffany’s if you want any kind of diamond and aren’t looking for something particularly unique. Wouldn’t suggest buying the ring from there given the insane markup, but the appt is super informative when trying to find what you like best. They have every color / size / cut / clarity / setting / etc, so it’s a great opportunity to see what’s out there. Then take that info along to wherever you ultimately end up buying

How do you best leverage a job offer when you don’t want to leave? In the running for a VP job (higher level than now) that pays $70k higher than what I currently make. I want to ask for more money, but don’t want them to see me as a flight risk or that I am not loyal anymore. Or my bigger fear is they’ll say they cannot offer me any more and then I feel like I have egg on my face. Any tips for delicately balancing this?
