Will You Be My Forever Valentine?

Your forever starts with a single, meaningful piece of jewelry: the ring. At Hannoush Jewelers, every piece we create is built to be timeless and last forever on your journey of love. Our goal is to make the process of building your dream ring as seamless and joyful as the relationship it celebrates. From the window shopping to the final reveal, we promise to be by your side as your personal jeweler for life. 

Shopping for an engagement ring can feel overwhelming, especially in big-box stores or online. We believe the process should be exciting, not intimidating. One of our best pieces of advice is to shop together at least once. It doesn’t take away the magic of the proposal; rather, it adds to the joy of discovering what you both love. With today’s endless options, exploring styles, shapes, and metals as a team helps ensure the ring feels perfect for the person who will wear it every day. 

We also recommend meeting with a trained sales professional more than once. With so many choices, it’s easy for details to blur together. Creating a “top three” list with your associate gives you time to revisit your favorites with a clear mind. With more than 200 selections from designers like Verragio, Fana Jewelry, and A.Jaffe, you’re sure to find “the one” at Hannoush Jewelers.

THE DIAMOND

Choosing the diamond and shape is one of the most important decisions in the ring-shopping process. The star of the show, it is the first thing everyone notices. This is where our expertise comes in the most. Our job is to help you choose a shape and size that complements not only their hand but their lifestyle. We carry one of the largest in-house selections of both natural and lab-grown diamonds in nearly every shape and carat weight, so you can compare them side by side. Some couples choose the diamond together and leave the final size or setting as the surprise element. 

THE DESIGN

Next comes the fun part: the design! Our state-of-the-art customizable design process allows us to blend design esthetics from different samples into one perfect piece through a computerized drawing system from our designer lines. This technology allows us to bring your vision to life by adding more or taking away, making sure you get exactly what you want. A 3D video allows you to see the ring from every angle. Once you approve this drawing, we have a wax mold made of the ring in your exact finger size, so you can sign off on your dream ring before it goes into production. This leaves no room for error or disappointment!  

Engagement-ring production is typically four to six weeks, allowing for delays due to holidays and shipping that could be out of our control. This includes manufacturing, setting diamonds, quality control, and shipping. Making a quality piece takes time, as no corner is ever cut. We tell clients to give themselves about two months from the time they start looking. Between the diamond picking, design, and manufacturing, the time adds up and can affect your planned proposal date.

YOUR BUDGET

When looking for an engagement ring, we know shoppers are most concerned with affordability. We pride ourselves on being able to accommodate any budget. It is good to have a budget when looking so we can help you shop. We promise to get you the biggest and best diamond no matter what your budget. We offer financing options with a Hannoush Preferred Card through Synchrony Bank or Wells Fargo, with no-interest and extended-interest plans. We also have in-store layaway options. 

THE SHOPPING EXPERIENCE

If you and your partner are ready to start your journey to forever, let us be your first stop. We welcome you into our showroom on Route 9, where you can enjoy a coffee, explore our curated displays, and relax in our lovely sitting area, where you can discuss privately your choices. We want it to feel as inviting as coming into our home. After all, this ring will be worn for a lifetime—a choice nearly as meaningful as the moment you choose each other.
