The short answer is either diamonds or sapphires due to their hardness.

Investing in a diamond engagement ring can be a daunting task. A great place to start is understand what styles of rings your partner likes, in particular the shape of the centre stone. In addition to this, we recommend familiarising yourself with the 4Cs which includes the cut, colour, clarity and carat weight of a diamond. For our blog on this, visit this page.

At Hogans, we have a workshop on-site and can either resize the ring for you following the proposal, or if they would prefer a completely different design we can exchange the piece provided it is returned in its original state and within 30 days of the purchase.
