Engagement Ring Styles
It can be exciting, enthralling, or even overwhelming to investigate the many gorgeous engagement ring styles available. It didn’t ever seem that way for either the bachelorettes or the bachelor on the show The Bachelor, but maybe the designated jeweler was directed to offer just the three or four engagement ring styles we the audience see the girls and then the bachelor choose from.
When I was looking, I had only to walk across the street from the restaurant where I waited tables, in the quaint but classy town of San Anselmo. There, a cool jewelry designer/goldsmith showed me a few antique and modern engagement ring styles, and then offered to design a one-of-a-kind setting for me. I agreed on the latter, and decided, with Drew, that the ring would have a quasi-tiffany setting that ramped dramatically on the sides, making it simulate the Golden Gate Bridge—and making the diamond appear more pronounced, as the setting was raised substantially more than the traditional engagement ring styles usually are. This design, though it boasted a three-quarter carat diamond, also made me feel better, despite how little money my man and I really had to invest in a ring.
This many years later, however, I understand that there are certain criteria to follow when going shopping ahead of time for particular or any engagement ring styles and designs. (I imagine Drew, having been in business for over twenty years, knew these steps already, thereby saving me the need to research, which was tougher in those days, as we didn’t yet have access to the net.) Anyway, here is what I understand you keep in mind when considering engagement ring styles:
First, it is up to your likes and dislikes and depends upon what you want to or can spend.
Next, the engagement ring should be easy to wear, should be “practical” for everyday, all-day wear.
Next, the ring should be well-designed and subsequently well-crafted, so that the gemstones are securely set and the prongs of the setting do not snag, etc.
And finally, according to a veteran jeweler online, the ring has to look good. That’s where your individual taste(s) matter(s).
Do you see the desirability and feasibility of the classic tiffany setting? Do you prefer a round diamond or a square emerald? Do you want silver, platinum, yellow gold, white gold? How much can you afford? One of my relatives, a self-made millionairess, wears a teardrop diamond on a one-of-a-kind setting that looks like climbing vines. She is in a field where these kinds of engagement ring styles are acceptable, and she has long beautiful, thin, fingers, so the spread of the design does not dwarf her whole hand. It all depends on you—who you are, what you want, and what you are able to come up with.
