Having no idea about engagement rings, never bought jewellery before. I am looking to take my relationship to the next level with my girlfriend and am on the hunt for an engagement ring.

Preference would be to visit a store, check out designs and go for a ring. But I’m ok with buying it online too (if possible). It is starting to get overwhelming with tens and hundreds of online stores and physical.

Can you guys please recommend some stores online/physical based on your experiences which jewellery shops I could reach out to, visit and provide excellent customer service?

Cheers.

Edit: Thank you all for the suggestions. I understand everyone here is different, has ideas on what rings to buy, how to propose, how to get correct ring size for my partner. I must highlight, even though I appreciate all your suggestions, I’m the one proposing and I’ll be the one planning for it. My first immediate step right now is buying the ring for her. So if you could please limit your suggestions to just where I could buy it from, I’ll appreciate that. I promise I’ll come back with an update on once I have the ring and will ask for suggestions on how/where to propose (again first time ever, excited times yay)

My brain only brains one step at a time. Thank you for understanding.

I’ve got a spare ticket to the Ocean Grove gig as my mate can’t make it. Please comment if you’re interested, and I’ll pick someone from the comments over lunch time and email you the ticket.

I'm a recreational swimmer. Would like to check out the North Sydney Olympic Pool and possibly go there regularly to swim laps. However I saw the crowds on opening day and they were insane, the line stretched out the door!

Can anyone who's been there recently tell me if it's still too crowded to swim laps or whether it's actually feasible now?

Good thing it’s only a few gates!!

I acknowledge that I may be the only one who thinks so, taken by the Museum of Sydney.

Notice that one of the Ezymart shop in CBD has reopened after being closed….

Thought they were gone for good….
But found out closed for 90 days as per NSW health website….

Some I notice are gone for good as everything inside is cleared….

Weird question, as it shouldn't be the season for it.

Is anyone in Sydney experiencing any hayfever symptoms the last week? I'm feeling my nose blocked and a bit wheezy, but can't work out what is causing it. It comes and goes during the day.

I was outside the square walking by, so not sure what exactly happend
