Wedding And Engagement Ring Guide

Although many people use diamonds as the basis for their engagement rings, exploring the style of her favorite engagement ring will bring you closer to the perfect choice. You need to consider "the art of the ring".

First, you need to understand her style. Is she classic? modern? Retro inspiration? Fashion frontier? Once you have mastered this part, you can make a large selection in this style. Let us consider some of your options.

Retro

The retro design itself is the maker of the personality statement, so it is important to know that your fiancé must belong to a particular style. The vintage ring features a saw-like detail (small metal beads on the edges), a diamond halo around the center gemstone, floral engraving and pavé diamond setting. In other words, the retro style is different.

You may be completely lost in all Victorian styles, so please be prepared. But something will hit you, and you will "wow!" The Victorian era is not just about diamonds, because at the beginning of the era, big diamonds were rare. Therefore, you may find diamonds with small diamonds or colored gemstone clusters. A popular style is that large pearls surround smaller diamonds.

modern

In general, modern art is free from the shackles of previous generations. Therefore, sometimes modern engagement ring designers do not create rings that look like engagement rings.

However, if we go out of the extreme, the design principles of modern engagement rings usually celebrate minimalism and the innovative use of materials. Artists may try to express romanticism with distinctive designs. The metal strap may have clean lines, an industrial feel, and be made of modern materials such as platinum. The stones may not be white diamonds, they may be colored diamonds, or in some cases not diamonds at all.

classic

Classic is, well, classic. It's perfectly tailored. It's not a hair out of place. It's a Botticelli, or the Mona Lisa. The most classic of classic engagement ring styles is a round diamond solitaire in a simple gold band. The number of prongs holding the diamond in place can vary, but an example is the uber-classic, four-prong mounting.

White metal engagement rings (white gold and platinum) are the most popular choices-their colors tend to make diamonds more brilliant. Think of this as a "new classic."

Another classic is the three-stone diamond engagement ring, where three matching diamonds are placed horizontally in a row, with a larger diamond in the middle. This aims to symbolize your past, present and future together. If symbolism is your business, this ring style may be ideal.

Your choice of engagement ring style is very personal. However, seeing it as the artwork your fiancee wears every day may help you get closer to the right decision. When in doubt, let her participate in activities to find the perfect style.
