Best Engagement Rings in Toronto & Canada: Expert Guide
Choosing the best engagement ring in Toronto or Canada is not just about price or trends. It is about finding the right diamond shape, style, and quality while staying within your budget. As a Toronto jeweler specializing in custom engagement rings, I have helped hundreds of couples choose rings that are stunning, durable, and perfectly suited to their style.
What Makes an Engagement Ring the Best?
The best engagement rings have a flattering diamond shape, a strong, well-built band; smart diamond choices that maximize size and sparkle, and are customized to fit the customer’s finger and style. Many Toronto couples start with one idea but, after seeing the options, often choose something even better.
Most Popular Rings in Toronto
The most popular diamond shapes are oval lab-grown diamonds, followed by radiant cut and round cut diamonds. These shapes look larger on the finger and offer elegance and sparkle. The most requested styles are oval lab-grown solitaires, hidden halo rings, and rings with side diamonds, which add luxury and brilliance.
Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them
A common mistake is choosing a band that is too thin. I always recommend at least a 2mm solid band to keep the center diamond straight, prevent twisting, and ensure long-term durability without sacrificing elegance.
Lab-Grown vs Natural Diamonds
About 7 out of 10 couples choose lab-grown diamonds, mainly because they can get a bigger, more beautiful stone for the same budget. My approach is to listen carefully and guide couples to get the maximum value from their budget, whether they choose lab-grown or natural diamonds.
Best Rings by Category
The best overall ring is Long Cushion Lab-Grown Diamond with a hidden halo and side diamonds, offering timeless elegance and maximum finger coverage. The best value-for-money ring is an oval or radiant cut lab-grown diamond, which looks larger per carat and sparkles brilliantly. For a luxury look without a luxury price, bigger lab-grown diamonds in hidden halo settings are ideal. For Toronto couples, rings with side diamonds and custom sizing are especially popular.

A client came to me after finding our store online. His partner had already chosen the ring style and size, and he shared her preferences. After reviewing options, we upgraded him to larger stones within his budget, resulting in a stunning Toi et Moi engagement ring that exceeded expectations.
