How to choose an engagement ring?

How to choose an engagement ring

At GENEVE, we are here to help you live life’s greatest moments to the fullest. The engagement ring represents a major step, commitment and, most importantly, great love. We can’t convince your beloved to say yes, but we can help you choose the perfect engagement ring. Here are our tips!

Define her tastes

It would be a shame to give her a ring that does not suit her. For this reason, the first thing to do is to determine your future fiancée’s style. Does she like timeless looks or, on the contrary, does she prefer to wear unusual, extravagant clothes? Is she discreet, or does she like to assert her personality? If she usually wears jewellery, make sure to look at it closely. Does she wear yellow or white gold? Is her jewellery classic, bold, colourful? All of the answers to these questions will give you an initial idea about the ring of her dreams!

Which material to choose?

You should choose a colour and material for the ring that she will never want to take off. So, do not hesitate to take a look at her jewellery box to determine which colour she likes best. Is it white, yellow or pink gold? If you are doubting between two colours, we are here to help you choose which will suit her best based on her complexion. Know that white gold is extremely popular for engagement rings, as it is a solid, resistant and precious material.

Which stone to choose? 

After choosing the metal, you will need to select the stone that will adorn the ring. The diamond is the gemstone par excellence. However, you can certainly opt for a blue sapphire, an emerald or a ruby. 

Know her ring size

Another aspect that is as important as the rest: the size of her finger. When you give the ring to your soon-to-be life partner, she will want to put it on immediately. That is why we suggest that you discreetly borrow one of her rings to bring to us, so that we can determine her ring size. In the event that she does not wear jewellery on a daily basis, you will have to be inventive and describe the size of her finger in as much detail as possible.

All you have to do is ask for your dearly beloved’s hand and enjoy this magical moment.

Anya Taylor-Joy, the new face of the Reverso Classic Duetto

jaeger-lecoultre anya taylor-joy

This year, Jaeger-LeCoultre has sought out a new face, a symbol of elegance. The Swiss watchmaker has chosen the talented actress Anya Taylor-Joy as a new ambassador. Let’s take a closer look at Anya Taylor-Joy, the latest Reverso Classic Duetto and the wonderful models that we carry at our GENEVE shops.

Anya Taylor-Joy and Jaeger-LeCoultre, a perfect match

Anya Taylor-Joy was born in Miami to Anglo-Argentine parents. She spent her childhood in Buenos Aires and London. You are likely to have seen her in critically acclaimed roles like in the series The Queen’s Gambit. She is also part of a family with close ties to Polo, and she herself is very interested in watchmaking. The actress perfectly embodies timeless elegance and multifaceted charm. For Jaeger-LeCoultre, there is no doubt that she is the epitome of the Reverso Classic Duetto. 

The new Reverso Classic Duetto

The Reverso Classic Duetto timepiece is both elegant and brilliantly modern. It draws its inspiration from the codes of Art Deco style with its rectangular case, reversibility and iconic gadroons. The latest piece is a reinterpretation of a model from the late 1930s that features a similarly elegant, although completely different, style on the other side of the dial. This feminine watch has two sets of hands. It also features the three-lined gadroons, 12 Arabic numerals, two-tone finished dials and sword-shaped hands. The distinguished look is enhanced with the circular graining adorning the inside cradle. Two different perspectives offering incredible beauty and finesse to all who wear it.

How to choose a watch strap ?

watch strap

Choosing a watch strap is as important a step as choosing a watch. The strap provides not only comfort, but also style. It is a daily reflection of your personality. There are ever more strap options on the watch market, which allows you to change the strap based on your mood and desires. GENEVE wants to help you choose your watch strap to fit the occasion and your tastes.

Choose the best watch strap for you

It is sometimes difficult to make a decision regarding the strap. First of all, we advise you to take your style into account. If you have a rather classic look, not all strap styles will necessarily suit you. On the contrary, if you do physical work or practice intense physical activities, the watch strap must last over time and withstand extreme situations. First think about your style, but also about when you will be wearing the strap.

Different watch straps 

Here is a guide to help you choose.

Rubber straps

Increasingly more common, rubber straps have been very popular for several years now. These kinds of water-resistant straps pair perfectly with sporty timepieces and are resistant to perspiration. Hence, if you like scuba diving and sports in general, the rubber strap is the ideal option for you! However, avoid rubber straps for formal evenings, as their sporty look is not appropriate for this kind of event.

Fabric straps

Fabric straps are the most versatile kind, as they can be used for sports and for dressier occasions. Reliable and robust, they can last for several years. They are an elegant and comfortable option.

NATO straps

Created by the British Army for pilots, NATO straps have become true fashion accessories. They are resistant and easily washable. NATO straps are especially great because they can be easily changed according to your mood.

Leather straps

For daily use, leather straps are elegant and classic. They can be worn in any circumstance. They are comfortable and come in a multitude of colours. However, we do no suggest wearing them when you come into contact with water.

Steel bracelets

Steel bracelets are also an interesting choice for everyday wear, because they are comfortable, solid and, most importantly, easy to clean! If you have a strong personality, go with a traditional steel bracelet. Conversely, if you prefer something more understated, a Milanese mesh bracelet will be perfect for you.

If you need help choosing your watch strap, we look forward to helping you at our shop.

365 días de golf

La genuidad de las Islas Canarias permite la práctica de este elegante deporte durante la totalidad del año.

El green canario

Un impoluto tapete verde y el inconfundible sonido al ejecutar un perfecto swing. Jugar al golf en las Islas Canarias es golpear la pelota en un campo diseñado por los mejores profesionales, ir de hoyo en hoyo con el mar como escenario de fondo y disputar partidos en un clima con temperaturas entre 19º y 25º durante todo el año. Pocos lugares en el mundo pueden ofrecer unas condiciones semejantes.
La mayoría de los campos con los que cuentan las islas están perfectamente integrados en el paisaje y disponen de unas instalaciones modernas con boogies, caddies y monitores para todos los niveles. En muchos casos, además, se encuentran integrados
en complejos hoteleros de lujo por lo que, además de jugar al golf, también puede disfrutarse de restaurantes, bares y spas.
Todo especialmente pensado para que los jugadores solo tengan que preocuparse de una cosa: su par.

Meloneras golf

Lopesan Meloneras Golf es un campo diseñado para exigir
un alto nivel técnico al jugador. Creado por el galardonado arquitecto Ron Kirby, ofrece un recorrido de dificultad gradual adaptado a jugadores de diferentes hándicaps, como por ejemplo, sus hoyos 14 y 16, que requieren precisión porque la bola debe cruzar un barranco. Situado en el sur de la isla de Gran Canaria, muy cerca del núcleo turístico de Maspalomas, es un campo de golf para el jugador que busque llevar su habilidad al límite.
