With the guidance of our knowledgeable diamond specialists, you’ll enjoy a seamless, personalized experience as you discover the diamond and engagement ring setting that capture your forever.
You’ve found your person—now you want to find the engagement ring they’ll never want to take off.
Shopping for an engagement ring at Richter & Phillips feels more like catching up with a good friend than a formal appointment. It’s thoughtful, relaxed, and centered around what matters most to you. We’ll begin with three simple steps to help you get started.
Every experience is different, but your first visit will generally be a consultation to help your Diamond Specialist get to know you & your partner and learn about your diamond, ring style & budget preferences.
The best way to find your engagement ring is by getting hands-on with different ring setting styles. During this step, we invite you to bring your partner and enjoy trying various ring styles and exploring all the options together. This is a really fun phase of getting engaged, so take your time, and rest assured, we'll be there to provide dedicated support and answer any questions.
You've explored engagement ring styles and narrowed in on what feels right. Now it's time to dive into diamonds. Diamond education is one of the most important parts of building your engagement ring—especially if it's your first time. That’s where your Diamond Specialist comes in.
At Richter & Phillips Jewelers, our goal is to simplify the process, guiding you through diamond cut, clarity, and color. We make it easy to compare, ask questions, and truly understand your options, helping you to confidently choose the right diamond for your engagement ring.
With the Tri-State’s largest selection of loose diamonds—each handpicked by our Graduate Gemologists—you’ll feel confident knowing your engagement ring starts with the best.

We don’t sell engagement rings directly through our website, and that’s on purpose. Finding the ring is a big deal; we believe it deserves a more personal touch.
We’re all about hands-on guidance, working one-on-one with you to make sure every detail feels right. With the Midwest’s largest in-house diamond selection, we always recommend seeing stones in person when you can—nothing beats experiencing that sparkle up close.
That said, if you're shopping from afar, we’ve got you. Our team has tons of experience creating custom, curated ring experiences remotely. Virtual appointments are available, and we’ll make sure you feel just as confident and cared for as if you were here in-store.
