Morganite Engagement Rings: Morganite Rings are the most popular pink and peach engagement rings we sell!

Morganite occurs in every shade of pastel pink, peach, and rose. Prior to 2010, the only Morganites known were pink and quite scarce, but new sources in Africa are producing orangey-pink (peach) hued gems that are stunning, and very popular among women! We source each Morganite individually, such that we have a wide selection of shapes, sizes, and colors and each one has great saturation – none of the pale Morganites here! Our collection of Morganite gemstones are priced from $50 for smaller stones to $2500 for 10ct+ examples, with every price point in between. 

Do Morganites make good engagement Rings? Yes! Morganite occurs in larger sizes at affordable price points, which makes an impressive ring more affordable. Additionally, Morganite if a very brilliant gemstone (a cousin of equally brilliant Aquamarine in the Beryl family) and is durable enough for everyday wear. As with any colored gemstone engagement ring, we encourage our clients to keep their rings insured, wear them with some care, and keep them clean if they want them to sparkle the most. That said, Morganite make great rings, and are a wonderful Diamond alternative. 

How do we design Morganite Rings? We will make any Morganite ring a client can imagine! Typically, we encourage our clients to design the ring setting around the center gemstone. This often means working with rose gold, since it accentuates the peach and pink tones perfectly, or for more saturated stones we recommend white gold which contrasts against the Morganite’s color. We make Morganite solitaire rings, but we also set them with Diamond accents for a neutral accent, and with other colored gemstones for fun. As a custom shop, we can make a custom Morganite engagement ring just for you!

Morganite Meaning: Morganite has a fascinating history. Back in the day, one of Tiffany’s gemologists thought that this rare rose-colored gemstone deserved a name all of its own, and he proposed that it should be named after financier and gem collector J.P. Morgan of banking fame, since he had financed the gem exploration trip in which Morganite was discovered. As a relative new comer to the gemstone world, Morganite is most known among gemstone collectors or those who love pastel pink rings! Thus it is not a birthstone, nor does it have any known history past the early 1900s. We encourage clients making Morganite engagement rings to make their own history with this magical gemstone.

Buying an engagement ring is a big deal — especially if it’s your first time and you’re planning a surprise proposal. You want the moment to be unforgettable, the ring to be perfect, and the reaction to be joyful.

But if you’re not careful, even small missteps during ring shopping can tip your partner off or result in a ring that misses the mark entirely.

To help you make the right choice without spoiling the surprise, here are five of the most common engagement ring shopping mistakes — and how to avoid them.

1. Not Doing Enough Research Before You Shop

Jumping into ring shopping without understanding the basics is one of the biggest mistakes first-time buyers make. If you don’t know the difference between a round cut and a princess cut — or you assume bigger always means better — you risk buying a ring that doesn’t match your partner’s style or values.

What to Do Instead:

  • Learn the 5 C’s: Cut, Color, Clarity, Carat, and Certification

  • Pay attention to the styles they admire (on friends, social media, etc.)

  • Browse ring types online before visiting a jeweler

Being informed gives you confidence, and it helps you spot quality and value when you see it.

2. Guessing Their Ring Size Without a Plan B

Getting the ring size wrong can turn a magical moment into a fumble — especially if the ring won’t go on, or worse, gets stuck. Asking them directly spoils the surprise, but guessing with no backup plan is risky.

What to Do Instead:

  • Secretly borrow one of their rings and have it sized

  • Ask a trusted friend or family member who might know

  • Use a ring sizing guide or tool while they’re sleeping (if you dare)

Pro Tip: If you have to guess, go slightly larger. It’s easier to resize down than up — and most jewelers, like FWCJ, offer complimentary resizing.

3. Talking Too Much or Being Obvious About Your Plans

If you start bringing up marriage or jewelry more than usual, your partner may suspect something’s up. Even casual mentions can start to unravel your surprise — especially if your partner is observant.

What to Do Instead:

  • Keep your research private (use incognito browsing!)

  • Enlist a trusted friend for feedback instead of asking them directly

  • Space out any ring-related conversations so they feel organic

The less you say, the more powerful your surprise will be.

4. Letting a Salesperson Talk You Into the Wrong Ring

When you walk into a jewelry store unprepared, it’s easy to get overwhelmed — and even easier to be upsold. A persuasive salesperson might convince you to buy something that looks impressive in-store, but doesn’t align with your partner’s taste or your budget.

What to Do Instead:

  • Set a clear budget before you go

  • Look for jewelers (like FWCJ) who focus on education, not upselling

  • Prioritize style and quality over size alone

Remember, your goal isn’t just to impress — it’s to choose a ring that feels like them.

5. Waiting Too Long to Start Shopping

This is a huge one — especially for surprise proposals. Many rings require adjustments, resizing, or customizations. Waiting until the last minute can mean shipping delays, limited inventory, or not enough time to make it perfect.

What to Do Instead:

  • Start shopping at least 6–8 weeks before your planned proposal date

  • Communicate with your jeweler about timelines and turnaround

  • Consider proposing with a temporary setting and finalizing the design together later

Planning ahead gives you room to breathe and keeps your proposal stress-free.

Final Thoughts: Get the Ring, Keep the Surprise

Buying an engagement ring doesn’t have to be stressful — even if you’re doing it all in secret. By avoiding these common mistakes, you can make confident decisions and deliver a magical moment your partner will never forget.

At FWCJ, we help first-time buyers every day — guiding you through the process, answering questions, and making sure your ring is as perfect as the proposal. Whether you’re just starting your search or ready to make a move, our team is here to help.
