Question 1

Which hand and finger should you wear an engagement ring on in Sweden?

Accepted Answer

In Sweden, it is most common to wear the engagement ring on the ring finger of the left hand. However, there is no right or wrong choice, it should simply feel right for you as a couple. In some countries, it is more common to wear the engagement ring on the right hand, so it often comes down to tradition, culture and personal preference.

Question 2

How do you find out her ring size secretly for a women’s engagement ring?

Accepted Answer

The easiest way is usually to borrow a ring she already wears and measure it against a ring size guide, as string and paper methods often give inaccurate results. If you are unsure, it is smart to choose a model that can be resized afterwards, so the proposal can remain a surprise without the fit becoming a source of stress.

Question 3

What is the difference between an engagement ring and a wedding ring?

Accepted Answer

An engagement ring is usually the ring given and worn in connection with the proposal, while the wedding ring is the ring used during the ceremony when you get married. In many cases, people choose an engagement ring with a bit more expression and let the wedding ring be simpler, but today it is completely normal to start from personal style and choose two rings that feel beautiful and work well together.

Question 4

How much does a women’s engagement ring cost?

Accepted Answer

The price of an engagement ring can vary greatly depending on the metal, design and whether you choose a diamond or another gemstone. There is no fixed “Swedish standard” for how much you should spend. It is usually about what budget feels reasonable and what you want to prioritise. Often, the total price can be adjusted through choices such as metal, diamond size and the quality levels you select.

Question 5

How do I choose between a diamond ring and a plain engagement ring?

Accepted Answer

A diamond ring is often seen as a more classic “engagement ring” style and gives more brilliance, while a plain ring is timeless, discreet and easy to match with a wedding ring. A good way to choose is to start from her everyday style, how much attention the ring should attract in daily life, and how she lives her life. A.P. Shaps will help you find the right type of engagement ring for the two of you.

Question 6

Which diamond shape is most popular in women’s engagement rings?

Accepted Answer

The round brilliant cut is one of the most common choices because it gives a lot of sparkle, but many also choose oval, cushion and emerald cuts depending on whether they want a soft, modern or more graphic expression. If the goal is for the stone to appear larger per carat, many choose a more elongated shape such as oval. Since 2025, we have seen the oval-cut diamond grow in popularity.

Question 7

Should I choose a natural diamond or a lab-grown diamond for an engagement ring?

Accepted Answer

The choice is entirly up to you! We only work with natural diamonds. All our diamonds over 0.30 carat are delivered with a GIA certificate.

Question 8

Which material is best for an engagement ring: gold or platinum?

Accepted Answer

Gold and platinum are both durable choices, but they create different feelings and expressions. White gold and platinum often feel more “crisp” together with a diamond, while yellow gold feels warmer and more classic, and rose gold gives a softer tone. A good guideline is to choose the material that matches her other jewellery and how she wants the ring to feel on her hand.

Question 9

Can you wear an engagement ring and a wedding ring on the same finger?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it is common to wear both the engagement ring and the wedding ring on the same ring finger, stacked together. To make sure it feels comfortable, it is good to think about the height and shape of the rings, especially if the engagement ring has a high setting or many stones.

Question 10

How far in advance of the proposal should you buy a women’s engagement ring?

Accepted Answer

It is a good idea to start looking for an engagement ring at least a few weeks before the proposal, especially if you want a specific model, stone or size. Some rings are ready to purchase, but most customers at A.P. Shaps choose to create their own engagement ring to make it more unique. Many start from our existing models and make adjustments from there, then choose which diamond they want. Normally, it takes 4–6 weeks to create a ring, so it is a good idea to plan ahead. Another option is to buy a ring from the store and propose with that ring. After the proposal, you can come in together, and we will help you create the perfect engagement ring for the two of you.

Question 11

Should the engagement ring match the wedding ring?

Accepted Answer

It is a great advantage to think about the wedding ring already when choosing the engagement ring, as the rings are often worn together on the same finger. A high setting can make it easier for a wedding ring to sit closely next to it, while some shapes require a specially adapted wedding ring. At A.P. Shaps, we help you think long term, so the engagement ring feels right both now and when it is later combined with a wedding ring.

Question 12

Which colour of gold should you choose for a women’s engagement ring?

Accepted Answer

The choice between white gold, yellow gold and rose gold is largely about personal style. White gold gives an elegant and crisp expression together with a diamond, yellow gold feels warm and classic, while rose gold is often perceived as soft and romantic. A.P. Shaps will help you choose the right gold colour.

Question 13

What should you consider if she will wear the engagement ring every day?

Accepted Answer

A common question, and a good one! An engagement ring that will be worn every day needs to feel both beautiful and practical. Think about how active she is, whether she works a lot with her hands, and whether she prefers something discreet or more eye-catching. A low setting can feel more practical in everyday life, while a higher setting often highlights the diamond more. The most important thing is to choose a ring that suits her lifestyle, not just the proposal itself.
