Engagement Ring Guide: How To Pick The Perfect Ring For Her Like A Pro

Solitaire

Three-stone

As the name suggests, this ring features three diamonds, gemstones, or a mix of both. Three-stone engagement rings are not only an elegant choice with an unexpected twist, but they’re also super romantic because the three stones represent your relationship’s past, present, and future. It doesn’t get any sweeter than that.

Halo

This stunning design features a halo of small diamonds surrounding the main one, adding to the ring’s alluring shimmer and giving the impression of a bigger center stone. With all those diamonds reflecting light off each other, halo rings are anything but discrete - and we love that! This glamorous design makes this the perfect ring for those who love some glitz and glam.

Antique

While designs can vary widely, antique rings tend to feature milgrain details, scroll patterns, and Art Deco design features to give these rings that beautiful antique look. If your loved one is a hopeless romantic who loves the dreamy aura of times gone by, then antique rings were made for her.

Single row

This dazzling setting combines the minimalism of solitaires with the glamour of eternity rings. Single row engagement rings feature shimmering diamond-accented bands, which beautifully complement the centerpiece without detracting from the daintiness of the silhouette. Definitely an elegant and timeless design.

Multi-row

These stunning rings manage to be both unique and timeless at the same time. As the name suggests, these rings feature more than one band, usually with a negative space between them to get a peek of the wearer’s finger. Not only are multi-row rings exquisite, but they also have the perk of providing more support for the centerpiece - a win-win!

Bypass

Bypass engagement rings have been around since the Victorian era, which gives this setting a whimsical, vintage feel. These rings feature two bands that overlap around the centerpiece, forming a design which looks almost wave-like. The sweetest part is that this unique design feature serves as a symbolic representation of you and your loved one coming together to become one.

Choose her favorite precious metal

Deciding on the right precious metal for an engagement ring is just as important as picking out the perfect setting or the diamond centerpiece. So, let’s take a look at the most popular precious metal options for engagement rings.

●    Platinum’s beautiful icy hues are timeless, and its cool metallic shade looks particularly stunning paired with diamonds. This precious metal is also the best choice for those with sensitive skin, as platinum is naturally hypoallergenic. 

●    Rose gold has a beautiful warm blush that gives an extra-romantic touch and a vintage feel to any engagement ring. Definitely a unique choice!

●    Yellow gold is iconic. Its amber shades add a dramatic flair to any engagement ring, making yellow gold a bold choice - and one that works particularly well for those who love to add an unexpected twist to their outfits and jewelry. 

●    White gold’s frosty hues make it more understated than its yellow and rose counterparts, but it’s just as timeless and elegant as any other shade of gold.


 

Select the perfect diamond

They say diamonds are forever, which makes them the perfect choice to celebrate the everlasting love you and your soulmate have for each other.
