What’s Your Engagement Ring Style?

Does your chosen engagement ring style match your personality and lifestyle? Here are some tips on finding the perfect engagement ring that feels like it was custom-made just for you.

The engagement ring is a declaration of love and the promise of happily ever after.

And the style should feel like a reflection of both the individual and the couple. It’s not just another piece of jewelry to add to your collection or let sit in a keepsake box stowed away somewhere.

The engagement ring is meant to be worn every day as part of you.

So before making one of the most important purchases in life, consider a few things first. The engagement ring style must complement the person’s personality and fit the lifestyle of the person who will proudly wear this ring every day. Jewelry requires significant upkeep to maintain the stone quality long-term, so ensure your partner is matched to the level of upkeep that will be needed as well.

There are endless designs to choose from. When it comes to diamond engagement rings, focus on the three Cs: color, cut, and clarity. Next, think about the type of metal you’d like the stones set in. Finally, consider the style. Just like wedding themes come in an array of options, there are many engagement ring styles too!

With just a little bit of research and patience, you can get your partner an engagement ring style they will cherish forever. Here are several style ideas and considerations to get you started!

Classic and Traditional Engagement Ring Style Designs

Classic and traditional, two words that can make anyone with a wedding fever take out their tissues.

Wedding rings belonging to this category are often simple and elegant. These rings are timeless. The focal point of a classic ring is the main stone, which is often a solitaire. These are good for long-term wear and easy to maintain as there are minimal details in the designs. Classic and traditional wedding rings are perfect to be kept as an heirloom.

A princess-cut diamond, embedded in a platinum or gold band is a perfect example of a classic engagement ring design. Cushion cut, oval cut, and round cut are good options too. A simple solitaire diamond with no supporting gem is another timeless piece. You can even consider buying a three-stone diamond ring.

Prince Harry proposed to Meghan Markle with a three-stone diamond ring. A truly royal design!

While most of the focus remains on the diamond, if you wish to make your classic engagement ring stand out, you can choose to add a halo design to it.

Just like this engagement ring style, classic and traditional weddings are also loved by many. Complete your classic wedding with a beautiful engagement ring and a dress that does justice to its beauty. Regina, by Afarose, is a perfect wedding dress for traditional brides. This strapless mermaid gown with a cathedral train will make you look like a queen on your big day. To finish your look, add a Vlada veil. This elegant piece with sequin lace is the ideal pairing for this dress.

Engagement Ring Style for the Nature-Loving Romantic

Roses, glistening waterfalls, and untamed winds–nature is a romantic poem.

Finding engagement rings for women who are happier outdoors is nothing less than an adventure.

For your nature-loving partner, go for an engagement ring style that is rather ornate and takes cues from natural elements like flowers, leaves, and vines. You can think about getting her rings with colored stones in old European cuts. Blue sapphire and emerald are perfect options.

You can also experiment with the material used for the band but first, it is important to ensure the engagement ring has a good setting designed to keep the diamond lower to the hand. This will allow her to easily continue with her active lifestyle. Some vendors even offer engagement rings with wooden bands. Such a romantic and bohemian ring will look brilliant with a befitting wedding dress.

Moonstone by Afarose will further accentuate a nature-inspired ring. The off-shoulder design and the intricate detailing of the lace bodice will remind you of the free spirit of nature.

Trendy Engagement Ring Style to Suit the Modern and Contemporary Taste

A modern bride redefines fashion. She is not afraid of trying something new and unique.

For a partner that is far from being basic, a modern engagement ring style will be the best option. Think outside the box and search for non-traditional designs. Sculptural rings check all the boxes. Their chic design and delicate detailing give them a contemporary look.

Modern engagement rings are focused more on the band rather than the stone. The thick metal band that holds the gemstone in place looks almost futuristic. You can even skip the diamond or any centerpiece completely and focus on the band. A plain wide metal band or the one with small diamonds encrusted on it will match the personality of your partner.

A modern bride would also want a modern wedding dress along with her ring. Consider the Hana by Afarose. This minimal chiffon gown will look lighter than the air at your modern wedding. The contemporary illusion neckline gives this dress an oomph factor.

Finding the Perfect Fit

Finding the right engagement ring style is only half the work done.

Irrespective of how beautiful the design may be, if it does not fit well, it will never live up to its full potential. You must find out their exact ring size. After all, you wouldn’t want the ring to get stuck on their finger, or worse, fall off!

However, you need to be stealthy as the big question must remain a surprise.

If you are lucky, your partner’s close friend will know their ring size or perhaps have a ring that fits them. You can get the engagement ring modeled after that size. Or, you can measure their ring size using a string while they are asleep. It seems like a task but the look on their face when they see the ring for the first time will be worth it.

Now that you have mastered the art of finding the right ring size, it’s time to make sure that your partner’s wedding gown, too, fits like a dream.
