Engagement rings and diamonds
So, you’re planning to get engaged, you have the perfect romantic setting in mind. Congratulations! but now comes the most important part of that glorious moment – your engagement ring.
After all, you want your significant other to be wowed at the sight of that gorgeous ring, so here are a few things to keep in mind while making that all important purchase.
The style preference
Does your fiancée prefer classic styled jewellery or does she have more modern preferences? You could opt for a classic engagement ring – a solitaire in a prong setting or go for something contemporary like a white gold ring with diamonds in a gorgeous bevel setting.
What about your husband to be? Men’s engagement rings now come in exciting options – you could play around with styles and metals to get that jaw dropping ring.

Choose the perfect setting
The big ‘rock’ – a single solitaire, is always a classic, but multi-stone rings in modern setting style also look elegant and sophisticated. Take your time to explore setting options. To create the ‘illusion’ of a larger diamond, the illusion setting is used very interestingly. Smaller stones generally princess cuts are set next to each other to create that stunning sparkle. Or a channel or bar setting feature a beautiful circlet with tiny diamonds, creating a completely sparkling diamond circle, instead of a single stone.
Go for couple rings
For the couple looking for a theme – couple rings are a great idea. Using the same motifs, each couple ring tells its own special love story.
Experiment with the metals
No longer do couples have to opt for only the classic yellow gold engagement ring. With fresh designs and new setting options, try experimenting with other metals – rose gold for a soft, romantic feel or white gold for a more modern, contemporary vibe.
Choosing the perfect engagement ring is part of your exciting journey together, and as you present your significant other with the perfect ring, the look on their faces will say it all.
