How To Find The Perfect Engagement Ring

By Shari Evans


Everyone wants their proposal to be special. Many people go to extensive lengths to plan every aspect of their proposal. No proposal is complete without an engagement ring. The nearly endless selection of rings in the wedding ring market can pose a challenge to someone trying to find the perfect ring. When you first begin your search, investigate some of the most resent styles being released by wedding ring designers to track current trends. This information may help you make the right decision.

The most current engagement ring styles cover everything from color to stone shape. There are many different ways to incorporate these three current trends which make them easy to include in rings of many different price points. No matter what your budget is, these three trends can make your engagement ring purchase special.

Best ring styles to get her to say yes

Pave settings are very popular this year. The band of a pave setting includes diamonds set into different channels that run along the top and sides of the band. This style allows diamonds to dominate the overall look of the ring insuring it sparkles from every angle. The diamonds are often set into white gold or platinum to maximize the look of an entirely diamond ring. You can still get plenty of bling without the pave setting while still achieving a similar look. Channel set diamonds along only the top side of a wedding band will lend your ring a similar look at a fraction of the cost. If you are on a budget, this approach may allow you to purchase a larger center diamond.

Next, you will find rings that are playing with unique shapes. Designers this season have begun incorporating less traditional cuts in their designs. Large marquis and beautiful pear shaped diamonds are examples of some of the diamond cuts that are making a comeback. Diamonds are also being arranged in a way that creates the shape of a flower on the finger. A large center circle cut diamond is generally surrounded by smaller diamonds to form petals. Either way, having a unique shape represented on your ring will draw attention to it.

Many people have grown tired of white diamonds, and others are searching for more ethically sourced stones. This final trend is perfect if either of these apply to you or your girlfriend. Colored stones can often be just as beautiful as traditional diamonds. Many celebrities have also been seen wearing rings that feature colored yellow diamonds.
