You’re ready to take the plunge with your sweet significant other and you’ve decided to shop for engagement rings. Congratulations!! Now comes the fun ring shopping part. But wait, why does it seem like there is a sea of engagement rings to browse through?? Where do I begin? Luckily, we’ve narrowed it down for you, into three easy categories: classic, modern and vintage. How can you determine what kind of engagement ring would fit your lifestyle and tastes? Take a look at some of our points and it just might lead you in the right direction.
You live an active life and can’t be bothered by the little stuff. Your perfect Saturday starts with a hike up in the trails and ends with a calming session of yoga at the nearest studio. You are a no-fuss, active girl. You would go best with a classic engagement ring. A stunning solitaire engagement ring is what you prefer and you wouldn’t have it any other way. If you prefer extra detail, channel set diamonds won’t snag as you’re carving up fresh powder up in the mountains.
You know your staples: a little black dress, a strand of pearls and a red pout that will stop them dead in their tracks. You’re channeling your inner Audrey Hepburn and Jackie O. You’ll prefer a simple one carat solitaire diamond engagement ring over any other style. Classic engagement rings are timeless.
As you window shop, do you sense that color always grabs your attention? Look in your closet. Do you see a bright rainbow of different colors and styles from the latest trends? You’re a modern girl. Modern engagement rings have clean lines and contemporary designs. A beautiful floating diamond engagement ring that shows off that stunning center diamond would be perfect. Perhaps a brightly colored gemstone engagement ring to show off a unique style and personal touch.
You have playbills and art show flyers covering your self-made magnetic chalk board. You’re creating your own diy project (a tutorial that you’re adding for your blog or Pinterest board). You can see yourself getting married at the corner art gallery for your Modern ceremony and reception. You might like an emerald-shaped diamond ring or perhaps you might even forego the diamond idea. A stunning custom yellow and rose gold wide band just might do for you.
Do you love shopping the local antique store? Do you prefer used and loved cloth bound books over the version with the movie poster as the cover? You’re infatuated with lace, chiffon, afternoon tea and everyone knows that you’re a romantic at heart. You must be a vintage engagement ring kind of girl. A rose gold halo engagement ring will do your style justice.
Instead of catching the latest rom-com, you’ve got a thing for Gone With The Wind. You can recite Casablanca line by line. You have the entire Jane Austen collection on your book shelf and there’s not a single pinch of dust on them. You’re envisioning yourself walking down the aisle in your grandmother’s dress from the 40’s. Vintage pear shaped halo engagement rings remind you of the Old Hollywood Glam style that you love.
Don’t think any of these descriptions speak to you? There isn’t a strict guideline to follow when it comes to style and preference. Just take your time and be sure to try on the ring for yourself and we promise, you’ll know the very moment you slip it on.
