Whether you’re browsing engagement rings for yourself or someone else, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by all of the styles available. And since this is something you hope will be worn for many, many years to come, you want to make sure you get it right the first time. So how do you hone in on the right ring?
You might just find the inspiration you need at home. While it may not seem as if furniture and fine jewelry have much in common, the truth is they both say a lot about a person’s style. Let’s break down some of the top home décor styles and how they translate to popular engagement ring designers.
1. Contemporary
What it is: With an eye toward modern design, contemporary styling embraces solid, neutral tones and softened lines. While it will have minimal accessories and large open spaces, it doesn’t feel desolate—natural lighting makes for a warm and inviting setting. A range of styles fall under the contemporary banner, but you’ll generally find that less is more.
Fans of contemporary design are likely to lean toward clean, uncluttered engagement rings with a touch of warmth. Known for their euro-shank foundation, A.Jaffe has revolutionized the look of classic engagement rings. Brilliant solitaires paired with sleek white or rose gold bands are modern and minimalist, yet timeless.
2. Hollywood Glam
What it is: Hollywood glam, as the name implies, is all about over-the-top, flamboyant luxury. Ideal for the homeowner who wants to make a statement, this dramatic style features bold color palettes—think purples, reds and blues. Glam design uses saturated jewel tones, plush velvet, patterned wallpaper and anything that screams “I’m fancy.”
Look for a show-stopping, head-turning piece to embody this style—something worthy of a silver screen queen. The crescent silhouette on this beauty by Tacori’s RoyalT collection is pure magic. Set with a 3 carat round center stone, this ring will have people talking.
3. French Country
What it is: Inspired by the remarkable homes of Provence, French country design is best described as casual elegance. Imagine walking into a well-lit room with a crystal chandelier, a white slipcovered sofa, rustic wooden furniture and floral toile pillows: C’est le pays francais (that’s French country).
The French beading and meticulous lace work of the rings from Verragio’s Parisian collection combine old world charm with a distinctly French flair. These one-of-a-kind rings are handcrafted and can be customized for the person wearing them.
