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.
Love Erica Weiner jewelry for vintage
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!
