Asking your significant other to marry you is a big step, so it's
understandable if you're feeling nervous or stressed when thinking
about buying a ring and planning the perfect proposal. The process can
be especially stressful if you don't know much about wedding rings and
are concerned about choosing one that your significant other will love.
Fortunately, once you understand the basics, it will be easier to narrow
down your search and find the perfect engagement jewelry.
One of
the most popular and classic styles of wedding rings is the diamond
solitaire, which consists of a single diamond set on a metal band.
Diamond solitaires can range in price depending on the size of the
diamond and the type of band. Platinum is generally the most expensive
because it is the most durable and long-lasting. Gold bands are cheaper,
but gold wears away over time.
For grooms considering a solitaire
setting, fancy diamond shapes add a unique touch if a traditional round
or square-cut stone seems too plain. There are many different diamond
cuts available, including emerald, pear, marquise, oval, and heart.
Emerald-cut diamonds are rectangular in shape, and are very popular with
celebrities.
Three-stone wedding rings are also popular, and they
offer more variety than diamond solitaires. Three-stone bands are
symbolic, with one diamond representing the past, one representing the
present, and one representing the future. This type of ring serves as a
visual representation of the life you and your fiancee have built
together and the many milestones you will experience as a married
couple. This type of band offers greater potential for customization
than a diamond solitaire. You could choose three diamonds of equal size
or put a larger diamond in the center and surround it with two smaller
stones. You could even choose to combine diamonds with other types of
stones for a truly unique look.
Split-shank wedding rings offer a
more eye-catching option than traditional bands. This type of ring
splits the band in half as it approaches the center diamond, meaning
that the band will encircle the diamond. The band is often decorated
with smaller diamonds or other details, such as an engraved pattern.
These bands generally give off an antique vibe and look very elegant and
ornate.
Pave- and channel-set diamonds are another option,
especially if your significant other loves sparkle and shine. These
types of bands consist of one or more large diamonds in the center of
the band, surrounded by smaller diamonds throughout the length of the
entire band. Pave diamonds are set on top of the band and are so close
together that you cannot see the metal on the band. Channel-set diamonds
are similar, but they are embedded in the band itself instead of being
set on top of it.
