About This Quiz

The moment when you've decided you want to spend the rest of your life with someone is special indeed. But making that decision might have been the easiest one yet. Now you have to find out how you're going to ask that person to marry you and what ring you're going to present them with. Given that there are dozens of cuts, sizes and gemstones to choose from, it's not as easy as one might think. You have to know your partner's style and ring size, but before all that, you have to figure out how much you want/can spend. 

While all of this may seem daunting, an excellent way to get through the stress is to focus on what you're getting at the end of all of it. After the proposal, after the wedding and after the honeymoon, you get to enjoy your lives together! Maybe the next step is even buying a house as a married couple. That comes with a whole new set of decisions, questions and budgets, but also with figuring out what style of home you even want. That might be as hard as picking a style of engagement ring. But we've made both of those things a lot easier for you! Design an engagement ring in this quiz, and we'll guess the house that you and your love will live in!
