Engagement Ring Shopping - How to Find Your Ring Style


The diamond engagement ring you choose says more about you than you might realize. If you insist on a 5-carat emerald cut center diamond, you could be telling the world that money is pretty important to you and size does matter. A woman who wears a one-carat diamond solitaire is possibly somewhat conservative and traditional. And a platinum open-shank band with an oval diamond might be worn on a woman who likes to do things in unconventional ways.

If you're not sure what type of engagement ring you see yourself wearing, these style descriptions might help point you in the right direction:

Classic Ring Style:

The classic woman has a closet full of elegant staples in neutral colors from stores like The Gap, Banana Republic, Ann Taylor and Calvin Klein. You might carry a Coach handbag and favor a strand of pearls or a simple pendant in gold or platinum. Consder an engagement ring with the center diamond accented with channel set diamonds or bar set diamonds, or go with the perennial classic platinum or gold solitaire. Scott Kay, A. Jaffe, Tacori and Jeff Cooper offer classic styles in their designer engagement ring collections.

Vintage Ring Style:

Breakfast at Tiffany's movie star Audrey Hepburn wore an understated eternity band with diamonds as the symbol of her engagement and marriage to her husband. No Doubt's female lead and L.A.M.B. clothing and shoe designer Gwen Stefani said "I Do" to a unique vintage engagement ring from fellow rock star Gavin Rossdale. Vintage can conjure up images of thrift store shops and funky hairstyles but it also represents some of the loveliest, most romantic jewelry designs, including halo diamond engagement rings, micropave, milgraine and gorgeous and intricate side diamond details. Designers Simon G., Ritani, Tacori, Verragio, Michael M., Bridget and Memoire have hundreds of styles with these details.

Modern Ring Style:

You usually choose to do the exact opposite of what is currently popular or in style. Friends look to you for fashion advice and no one really expects you to wear a traditional princess ballgown-style wedding dress when you walk down the aisle. (But you might surprise everyone and do it for the shock value.) You love architecture and visit art galleries on weekends just for fun. If you don't decide to work with an artisan to design your engagement ring, you'll possibly pick a style with sleek channel set diamonds or baguettes that suggest a modern flair. Then again, you could go with a round or radiant diamond tension-set in a stunningly wide band of metal. Coast, Jeff Cooper, Scott Kay, Tacori, and Memoire are a few designers with modern ring styles.

Most brides-to-be desire a unique ring that fits their personality, their lifestyle, and of course their budget. Be sure to shop before the engagement to get an idea of how the different styles look and feel on your hand. It's okay to look online and in magazines, but before you buy visit stores that specialize in engagement rings and offer the diamonds loose, so you can personally inspect the diamond that you'll wear forever.
