Top 3 Timeless Engagement Styles

Choosing the perfect engagement ring to propose to your loved one with can be an exciting yet stressful time. With a large variety of options available and with styles constantly changing, there’s more choice than ever for couples looking for the right ring to symbolise their love and relationship.

If you’re looking for some inspiration, we’ve put together three of the most beautiful and timeless engagement ring styles to help you make your choice.

Diamond Solitaire

One of the most popular engagement ring styles, a diamond solitaire ring is subtle and understated but simply beautiful. The setting of this ring style places the diamond in the middle, so the cut and quality of the diamond is crucial. Many people opt for classic round diamonds or princess cut, though there are other cuts if neither of those suit your tastes, like the antique cushion cut and heart shaped.

The focus of this ring is truly on the dazzling diamond and the simplicity of it means it can be paired with most wedding bands perfectly.

Halo Rings

For those who are looking for a little extra sparkle, halo rings are an ideal choice. Halo rings feature a centred gemstone which is encircled and enclosed by several other gemstones. It frames the centre gem in a unique and beautiful way, whether you choose to opt for a diamond or not. Halo rings were very popular in the 1920’s, but have quickly become popular again thanks to a growing interest in vintage styles.

Halo rings have become more decorative recently with smaller gemstones not only circling the main stone but also being added to the entire circumference of the ring, providing dazzling views from all angles.

Three Stone Rings

Rings that feature three main stones are the perfect way to introduce a variety of gemstones. Three stone rings are said to represent the past, present and future of your relationship. Traditional three stone rings feature a slightly larger diamond in the centre of the ring with two smaller stones displayed either side. However, more modern adaptions commonly have side stones that are equal to the middle stone.

Princess cut stones are commonly used in three stone rings, whether you select a diamond, ruby, sapphire or another gemstone as your choice.
