Engagement season is coming to a close yet many couples are in the midst of purchasing an engagement ring. First things first, congratulations and secondly, good luck. This is because engaged couples have the most choices and customization for engagement rings than any other time in history. Although this is excellent news, anyone in the market for the one and only engagement ring can quickly succumb to the dreaded paralysis by analysis…being overwhelmed by so many options that making a decision is impossible. Instead, we recommend narrowing down any engagement ring selections to one that would fit the wearer’s style and lifestyle. 

 

MINIMALIST

Understated and elegant is the name of the game for those who love the look of minimalism. The tension setting adds an interesting component to a traditional classic solitaire look while giving the center stone added protection. Besides being stylish, this ring works well for those with an active lifestyle who may forget to remove their ring while working out.

Classic solitaire engagement rings are the little black dress of the jewelry world, they never go out of style. However, sometimes even the classics need a bit of a refresh which is why we selected this classic solitaire ring and used an oval cut diamond, and set it on a blinged out band. It is the perfect ring for those who love classic looks but want to still remain with the times.

 

CONTEMPORARY

There’s no time like the present which is why this ring is perfect for those who like to keep their fingers on the pulse of what’s happening today. That is why we chose this three-stone engagement ring, because it is beautiful and one of the biggest engagement ring trends in 2021.  

It is very important to know what type of engagement ring style matches the intended recipient’s style and then begins your engagement ring search from there. One of the worst things that can happen is spending countless hours reviewing vintage rings when you really should have been selecting a contemporary style ring. Fortunately, we came to help and you should be able to find the best ring for your loved one in no time.
