Choosing an engagement ring may seem like a straightforward process, but it isn’t until you
begin shopping.
Round diamond. Oval. Sapphire. Gold band. Platinum. “Then somebody says ‘Lab-grown
Diamonds…’ and there are even more options.
The good news? There’s no one formula to follow.
A Touch of Colour Can Be a Good Thing
Talking about the best engagement rings, it’s not always diamonds! Gemstone rings can be
equally good and budget-friendly.
The best thing about gemstone engagement rings is the feel of a blue sapphire, but it’s not a
traditional diamond ring. For the partner who likes a little color, have fun with some green and
pink gems too!
Neither does the stone have to be huge. The more delicate the colored stone, the better, if you
wear a ring in a simple band might seem more attractive than wearing a ring full of diamonds.
And then if your fiancé is more of a get-outdoors, rather than shopping for jewellery on Saturday
type, the prospect of wearing something that isn’t a classic square-cut diamond is likely more
appealing.
There Is Nothing That Can Really Beat a Classic
A round diamond with a plain band will never go out of style. It’s basic, reliable, and will go with
everything like a white T-shirt.
Have you been looking for a sound option? Try an oval. The marquise diamond will create an
illusion of a long finger, while the emerald cut is very straight and stiff.
Or you could just abandon the stone and go explore the band. Plain band — A plain band is
another type of straightforward, simple band. This is helped a little by some tiny side stones.
It is very simple, nothing complicated about it.
And Finally, The Lab-Grown One!
If you want a diamond that is not constrained to the confines of a mined stone, then a lab-
grown diamond engagement ring should be in your mind.
It’s still a real diamond. Laboratory-created diamonds have the same crystalline structure and
physical characteristics as mined diamonds.
You don’t have to sacrifice variety because there are many cuts and styles available.
Look At The Certificate as Well
Again, when your eyes are glued to watching the ring, it’s easy to overlook this.
An IGI-certified ring has a grading with an IGI grading report that tells you about the carat
weight, colour, clarity, and cut of the diamond in the ring.
This is useful when you have two stones sitting next to each other that are impossible to
distinguish from a simple visual inspection.
Though it might not be as thrilling as the rest of the ring shopping experience, it’s always a
smart idea to know what you’re getting for your money.
Personify The Decision
No, there isn’t a one-size-fits-all engagement ring for every Colorado couple.
Perhaps your mate has longed to enjoy the classic solitaire. Perhaps they’ll want a sapphire!
Perhaps they’d prefer a lab-made diamond in a somewhat unusual context.
Go with that.
In time, the trend will reverse. The ring is the part that remains.
