What to Know when Choosing your Engagement Ring Style

Odds are, you’ve been with your partner long enough for them to know you like the back of their hand. A HUGE part of engagement ring shopping is knowing exactly who the ring is for, inside and out, and being able to choose THE perfect ring based on their personal style. If you think your partner might be preparing to pop the question, emphasize to them how important it is that your future engagement ring is based on your personal style.

Some metals to choose from include:

• Platinum
• Gold
• Sterling Silver
• Rose Gold
• Titanium

When it comes to a gemstone, the choice is completely your own, but you’ll definitely want a gemstone with an appropriate “hardness” to withstand your day-to-day activities! Gemstones with a “hardness” suitable for daily wear are scratch and breakage resistant. Some of our fave gemstones include:

• Diamond (available in a variety of colors) 
• Ruby
• Sapphire (available in a variety of colors) 
• Aquamarine
• Emerald
• Topaz
• Tourmaline (available in a variety of colors) 
• Quartz
• Moissanite: a synthetic, man-made gemstone!

Any gemstone you choose will be absolutely stunning, but moissanite gemstones are great if you love the shimmer and sparkle of a diamond but want a more ethically sourced option! You’ll also want to choose a cut for your gemstone:

• Princess
• Emerald
• Round
• Oval
• Cushion
• Pear
• Marquise
• Asscher
• Radiant
• Heart

Now, when it comes to setting your gemstone, there are SO many options to choose from:

• Solitaire
• Accents
• Three-stone
• Halo
• Oval
• Emerald
• Round
• Bridal sets

Choose your favorite setting for the cut you love! Visiting a local jewelry store to try on different engagement rings may help you find out which style you love on YOU.

Cost is a HUGE factor when selecting your dream engagement ring. According to The Knot, couples usually spend between $1000 and $4000 on an engagement ring.
