\"Engagement<\/p>\n

After you\u2019ve said \u2018yes\u2019 to your partner and you\u2019ve shared the happy news with your closest friends and family, like most new fianc\u00e9es you may be keen to make a social media announcement. And what\u2019s the most important part of an engagement announcement? A show-stopping, jaw-dropping photograph of your ring<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Taking the Best Engagement Ring Selfie<\/h2>\n

There are a few steps you can follow for taking a flawless selfie of your diamond ring. Engagement ring experts Taylor & Hart<\/a> have been in the engagement ring selfie game for years, and have rounded up their top five tips for getting an immaculate shot.<\/p>\n

1. Natural Lighting<\/h3>\n

A gemstone can\u2019t sparkle if it\u2019s not in the light. The golden rule of photographing your ring is to always have it facing towards your dominant light source, or else your gemstone will be lost in shadow. The easiest way to do it is to set up your shot close to a window or go off into the great outdoors! The brighter your environment, the brighter your gemstone will shine.<\/p>\n

\"Engagement<\/p>\n

Pro-tip: to avoid the \u2018table flash\u2019 effect (the reflection on the flat top of a cut diamond), tilt your hand slightly away from the light source, so that the camera picks up all the light refracting within the gemstone, rather than light simply reflecting off the top. This will give a lot more credit to your gemstone\u2019s internal fire.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\t\t
