Choosing the perfect engagement ring is one of the most exciting - and sometimes daunting - tasks in the wedding planning process. With so many styles available, it can be challenging to know where to start. Here’s a guide to some popular types of engagement rings to help you find the perfect symbol of your love.
Solitaire Engagement Rings
The classic solitaire ring features a single diamond or gemstone, showcasing its beauty without distraction. This timeless style highlights the stone’s brilliance and is perfect for those who appreciate simplicity and elegance. Solitaires can be set in various metals, allowing for personalization in both style and budget.
Halo Engagement Rings
Halo rings feature a center stone surrounded by a “halo” of smaller diamonds or gemstones. This design not only enhances the sparkle of the center stone, but also gives the illusion of a larger diamond. Halo rings come in various shapes and sizes, making them versatile and eye-catching.
Three-Stone Engagement Rings
Symbolizing the past, present, and future, three-stone engagement rings feature a trio of diamonds or gemstones. This style can represent your journey together and is often personalized with different stones or shapes, reflecting the couple’s unique story and preferences.
Vintage and Antique Engagement Rings
Vintage or antique rings often come with intricate designs and unique details that tell a story of their own. These rings can feature filigree, milgrain, or unique stone cuts, offering a romantic and nostalgic feel. Choosing a vintage ring can add a distinctive touch and often incorporates high-quality craftsmanship.
Modern and Geometric Engagement Rings
For those who appreciate contemporary design, modern engagement rings often feature clean lines and geometric shapes. These rings can include unique settings and unconventional stones, making them perfect for couples who want something truly distinctive and stylish.
Colored Gemstone Engagement Rings
While diamonds are the traditional choice, colored gemstones like sapphires, emeralds, and rubies are gaining popularity. These vibrant stones can add a personal touch and are often favored by those who want a ring that stands out. A colored gemstone can also symbolize specific qualities, like loyalty or love.
Pave Engagement Rings
Pave engagement rings feature small diamonds set closely together to create a continuous sparkle. This design often embellishes the band and enhances the center stone, adding extra glamour and brilliance. Pave settings can be found in various styles, from vintage-inspired to modern.
Classic Bands and Tension Settings
Classic band rings with a tension setting create a striking look by holding the stone in place without traditional prongs. This innovative design gives the appearance of the diamond floating above the band, allowing for maximum light exposure and brilliance.
