Common Questions
How does the engagement ring quiz work?+
You answer up to eight questions about shape, setting, metal, natural or lab-grown, what you want to spend and how you like to buy. We turn your answers into a starting spec: the shape and metal we recommend, the carat, cut, colour and clarity you can realistically expect for your spend in Hatton Garden, and the type of jeweller that fits how you like to shop.
What if I have no idea what shape they like?+
Pick "Not yet, help me choose" and we ask one question about their style instead. Classic, understated taste points to round. Fashion-led taste points to oval. Design-led, minimal taste points to emerald. Someone who wants a ring nobody else has suits pear. Check what they already wear, their Pinterest saves and comments about friends' rings, because most people have a preference even if they have never said it out loud.
Where do the prices come from?+
They are the same 2026 Hatton Garden price ranges our budget calculator uses, for GIA and IGI certified round diamonds including a setting. Fancy shapes like oval, cushion and pear typically cost 15-25% less per carat than round, so your result notes when you can expect a little more size for the same spend.
Do I need to give my email to see the result?+
No. The quiz and your full result are free with no signup. You can copy a link to your result to share it or come back to it later.
Should I choose natural or lab-grown?+
Both are real diamonds and look identical. Lab-grown costs 70-80% less for the same-looking stone, while natural keeps far more resale value. If you are not sure, choose "Show me both" and your result puts the two side by side at your spend.
