Introduction: A Big Decision, Made Simple
Buying an engagement ring online can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. Whether you’re planning a surprise proposal or shopping together as a couple, the digital route can offer more convenience, customization, and value than ever before.
At Yoona, we believe the online experience should be smart, transparent, and deeply personal. Here’s your step-by-step guide to buying the perfect ring with confidence, clarity, and no second guesses.
Step 1: Define Your Budget
There’s no “right” amount to spend. Instead, focus on what feels comfortable and sustainable for you.
Smart Luxury Tip: Lab-grown diamonds offer the same sparkle, quality, and beauty as mined diamonds, often at 30 to 50 percent less. That means your budget goes further without compromise.
Step 2: Learn the Basics - The 4Cs
Even online, education is your best friend. Get familiar with:
- Cut: Affects brilliance and sparkle (most important)
- Color: D-F is colorless; G-H offers great value
- Clarity: VS1 or better looks flawless to the eye
- Carat: Choose based on size preference and ring design
Yoona diamonds are pre-vetted and certified by IGI to meet strict quality standards.
Step 3: Choose the Diamond Shape
Round is the classic, but other shapes like oval, cushion, emerald, and pear offer a modern twist and can appear larger per carat.
Yoona Tip: Browse by shape and use our close-up visuals to compare sparkle, presence, and proportions.
Step 4: Select a Ring Setting
The setting showcases your diamond and defines your ring’s personality. Explore:
- Solitaire: Timeless, minimal
- Halo: Adds size and sparkle
- Three-Stone: Symbolic and statement-making
- Hidden Details: Under halos, cathedral arches, and more
Customize the metal type (white gold, yellow gold, rose gold, or platinum) to match your partner’s style.
Step 5: Know Their Ring Size
If it’s a surprise, ask friends or borrow a ring. You can also use our free Ring Size Guide for accurate at-home measuring.
Yoona offers complimentary resizing on most styles for peace of mind.
Step 6: Understand Certification & Warranty
Only buy diamonds that are certified by IGI or GIA. Every Yoona ring comes with:
- Full IGI certification (most detailed for lab diamonds)
- Lifetime warranty
- 30-day returns
- Secure, insured shipping
Trust is built into every detail.
Step 7: Make It Meaningful
Personalize the ring with engraving or a hidden diamond detail. Add a matching wedding band or a presentation box that elevates the proposal experience.
With Yoona, you can create a piece that’s not just beautiful, but deeply intentional.
