How to Find Your Own Unique Engagement Ring

When it comes to contemporary engagement rings, there is no reason to settle for anything other then the perfect ring for you. Whether you are looking at unique white gold engagement rings or exclusive diamond engagement rings, there is a style and design to match everyone. Fortunately nowadays the Internet provides a massively helpful resource for couples because it gives instant access to the wide variety of rings out there.

Celebrities in particular have set the trend for unique engagement rings with an ever more astonishing and mesmerising array of utterly delicious rings. Jennifer Lopez was one of the first of the current stars to receive a totally jaw-dropping bauble when Ben Affleck proposed to her with a 6 carat radiant shaped pink diamond ring worth over $3 million. It is not only the colour of the jewel that helps to make a ring stand out though but the array of engagement ring settings and diamond cuts available today.

Take bootilicious diva Beyonce who is the proud owner of a $5 million emerald cut diamond engagement ring given to her by now husband Jay-Z. This sensational 18 carat diamond ring uses the superbly elegant emerald cut to make it special; a cut which was incredibly fashionable during the Art Deco period, but is now much rarer. Welsh beauty Catherine Zeta-Jones has her very own individualistic ring comprising a 10 carat marquise cut diamond with 28 diamond surround, although it is set horizontally instead of the more common vertical setting. This unusual ring set hubbie Michael Douglas back a cool $1million.

There is no need to spend an absolute fortune however to get a ring to match your own unique personality and character. At the moment the most commonly used style of engagement ring is the claw set brilliant round diamond ring. Just by deviating from this popular style you can find something more unique. Choosing alternate settings such as the rub over or tension can give a ring a completely different feel, while less frequently worn diamond cuts such as the marquise, pear or cushion can assist in breaking away from the norm. Alternatively you could always opt for another gemstone altogether and benefit from a splash of colour with an emerald, ruby and sapphire.
