When it comes to finding the perfect engagement ring, the experience should be just as magical as the moment you pop the questions. With countless ring options and important decisions to make, Wimmer’s Diamonds makes the process easy, enjoyable, and stress-free. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you navigate your journey!
STEP 1 Prepare, Research, & Plan!
Before stepping into Wimmer’s Diamonds, think about how you’d like the ring-buying experience to go. Will you and your partner shop together, or are you planning to surprise them? Having a basic idea of ring preferences—like style, metal, diamond shape, and size—can make your visit more productive. If you’re keeping it a surprise, save any photos or hints your partner may have dropped.
STEP 2 Start With a Chat
Your journey begins the moment you walk in. The expert team will take the time to get to know your vision for the ring, learning about preferences, lifestyle, and budget to help you find the perfect fit.
STEP 3 Explore Your Ring Options
Wimmer’s offers a variety of rings ready to try on. This hands-on experience lets you see how different styles look and feel. You can also work with their team to modify a ring or create a custom one from scratch!
Did You Know?
You can create a Wish List at Wimmer’s Diamonds and they will save your info for your loved ones who want to shop for you! This eliminates a guessing game for the gift giver, from style to size. Plus, it’s not just for rings! You can add any type of jewelry to your Wish List. Dream BIG!
STEP 4 Stay True to Your Style
Don’t get swept up by trends, or do! Choose a ring that reflects you and your partner’s unique style and personality. Wimmer’s team encourages couples to select what they’re comfortable wearing, whether it be the latest trend or a timeless classic. They’ll help guide you to the perfect ring that aligns with your lifestyle and preferences.
STEP 5 Plan Ahead for Customization
If you’re opting for a custom or modified ring, be sure to allow extra time for craftsmanship. It’s recommended to start the process at least 6-8 weeks before your planned proposal date to ensure everything is ready for the big day.
STEP 6 Ring Size
Knowing your partner’s ring size ahead of time is important for the perfect fit. If you’re unsure, ask a close friend or family member for help, or encourage your partner to visit Wimmer’s to try on styles and note their size. While resizing is possible, it’s always best to have the correct size from the start to maintain the integrity of the ring.
STEP 7 Trust the Experts
Shopping local at Wimmer’s Diamonds means you’re getting a ring, along with a personalized experience. Their knowledgeable team is available to answer any questions and guide you through every step of the process. Plus, you’ll enjoy lifetime inspections, cleanings, and the peace of mind that comes with working with a trusted family-owned jeweler.
Bonus! Don’t Forget The Wedding Band
Once you’ve found the engagement ring, don’t forget to think about the wedding band. Wimmer’s has a wide selection of his and her bands that can complement your ring perfectly, whether you’re looking for something classic or trendy.

“Shopping for an engagement ring with Wimmer’s Diamonds was really a joy. Why? Simple, from the very first time I met Aaron, they had won our business due to their support, attention to detail, and friendly yet professional team.”
– Aronah
Why did you pick Wimmer's Diamonds to shop for an engagement ring?
“I visited four jewelers before stopping in at Wimmer’s. While each had their own strengths, the patience and expertise displayed by Aaron and the crew were top-notch. Not to mention their wide variety of rings to meet many different needs.”
How did the team at Wimmer’s Diamonds help guide you through the engagement ring shopping process and make the experience special for you and your partner?
“Before she was my wife, Taylor had a Pinterest board of her dream ring styles, colors, and sizes that I used as a cheat sheet to surprise her with a ring. As mentioned, I stopped into a few different locations before stopping in at Wimmer’s. Each location simply showed me some of their top rings. Aaron was the only one who took the time to ask me a series of questions around who I was and who my thengirlfriend was before showing me any ring option. That was the differentiator, he took the time to understand her.”
Were there any specific details or customizations that made your ring feel personal and unique?
“Because of the attention to detail Aaron and his team paid on the front end, we ended up with a ring that my wife didn’t even know she truly wanted. The result was that she ended up loving what we chose more than any ring on that Pinterest board.”
"I know my personal experience was with Aaron, but I’m confident to say that after meeting the rest of the team members, the experience would have been very similar. I’ve stopped back over the years to buy other items and have learned the team to be very kind, knowledgeable, and professional people to work with. As that continues, they’ll continue to have our business."
