There are no universal favorites in engagement rings. What works for your friend might not work for you. While some like to go for a traditional look, some prefer to stay au courant. Here are some different, popular styles of engagement rings. We leave the task of choosing the best one up to you.

Solitaire

This is the classic style which stays contemporary no matter what. Simple and elegant, a solitaire is truly timeless. Solitaires are to rings as diamonds are to precious stones. Solitaire rings have a single diamond, usually set in a prong setting. There is hardly a better way to say I love you

Halo

Halo rings have a center diamond surrounded by smaller micro-pave diamonds to form a halo of brilliance.

Pavé

Pavé is when you arrange many smaller diamonds so that they appear as one single stone. However, the diamonds can also be arranged with small beads of metal between them. The stones are arranged to amplify the brilliance of the ensemble, and therefore pavé rings usually exhibit a brilliant shine and sparkle.

Vintage

What’s more brilliant than getting down on one knee for the lady of your dreams with a unique vintage ring that your grandfather gave to your grandmother while also saving the planet? Not much comes close. Vintage rings are popular choices for people that want something unique and eco-friendly.

3-stone

3-stone rings, as the name suggests, are rings that flaunt three stones on top, with one most appealing in the middle and two (usually smaller) complementary stones on each side.  

Colored Stone

We love classic styles, but there is no denying that colored stones are all the rage right now. Celebrities are flaunting them, people are choosing them over clear diamonds, and everybody is loving it! From sapphires, rubies and emeralds, you can find more and more colored gemstones on contemporary engagement rings. A colored engagement ring is sure to stand out in the crowd.
