(Glastonbury, Conn) – June 12, 2023 – According to a recent survey in Brides magazine, 62 percent of couples now go engagement ring shopping together rather than one person doing it solo. Baribault Jewelers, a premiere bridal jewelry destination in Glastonbury, Conn, has recently launched an exclusive “Engaged Couples Experience” to address this timely trend, pamper the couple and take the stress out of finding the perfect ring.

“When you finally find the person that you want to spend the rest of your life with, there’s a lot of planning to do before you walk down the aisle,” said Lewis Baribault, Jr., Owner of Baribault Jewelers, a third-generation, family-owned, fine jewelry company that’s celebrating 75 years in business. “We’ve found more and more couples want to shop for the engagement ring together, so we now offer a luxury, yet friendly and comfortable, bridal experience that is truly unparalleled in the industry. From the very first moment, we want this experience to be an unforgettable start for their new B-ginning.”
Baribault explains that while many women with marriage in the near future will peruse and research online for diamonds and engagement ring styles, they do not want their ring purchased online. These discerning brides-to-be want to be a part of the hand selection or customization process of their ring.
When a couple makes an appointment, they can feel assured that Baribault’s team of Trusted Advisors and Diamond Experts will be there to guide them from the type of diamond (natural vs. lab-created), metal colors, diamond sizes, cuts, and shapes to the very last detail of the setting. The Engaged Couples Experience consists of:
- A champagne toast
- A sit-down consultation to determine the type, style and budget for the ring
- A 10% discount on wedding bands to help the couple say “I do” with rings they’ll both love
- A separate consultation with the future groom to plan the perfect proposal with creative ideas from the team.
“The bride may want to ensure that she gets the ring of her dreams but still wants to B surprised with a proposal that is as unique as their relationship,” explains Baribault. “We have 75 years of expertise to help grooms creatively pop the question.”
Additionally, couples can receive guidance to select a wedding day gift. Simply put, this tradition is an opportunity for the bride and groom to exchange gifts on the wedding day to celebrate the exciting new chapter of their lives. Typically, a member of each bridal party will deliver the gifts, including a handwritten note, to the bride and groom, while they’re separately getting ready. It’s said to help ease the nerves and add to the excitement of meeting each other down the aisle. Bracelets, earrings, necklaces and more can range in price from a few hundred dollars to a few thousand.
When selecting the engagement ring, Baribault notes that lab-grown diamonds are becoming a hot trend for their size, clarity and affordability as compared to their natural counterparts. B Lab diamonds are GIA-certified in-house and laser inscribed for identification. For maximum brightness, every B Lab diamond is F color or better, known as a colorless diamond. They are guaranteed VS2 clarity or better, with no inclusions visible to the naked eye. For the best sparkle and performance, Baribault offers only the highest cut grades in the industry.
“We believe your one-of-a-kind moment calls for a ring that’s exactly that, and we’re here to build the one of her dreams,” said Baribault. “Besides offering lab-grown diamonds of the highest quality, Baribault Jewelers has also curated one of the largest collections of impeccable D-grade diamonds in the U.S, the most precious of all diamonds.”
Baribault explains that D-grade diamonds are often referred to as white diamonds because they truly are completely colorless both to the naked eye and under magnification, hence earning them the highest rating on the color scale.
Once the stone is selected, Baribault also offers 100% custom engagement ring design in addition to top designer styles from Tacori, Sylvie and Fana.
After the couple’s perfect day, they can count on Baribault to commemorate anniversaries and milestones.
“From the very first diamond to anniversary gifts for years to come, we’re here to make all of your special moments shine,” said Baribault.
