Every bride-to-be has their own style, and a vision of what they want their engagement ring to look like. Sometimes they admire the beauty of an engagement that has been in the family for decades, while others prefer a newer style. In choosing an engagement ring, you have to know the type of style you are looking for and which category it falls in. There are ways to find your style before you even step into a jewelry store. Most women fall into one of several categories, depending on their tastes in other areas of life.
The woman that is a connoisseur of contemporary art, craves all the new music, and loves to see unusual architecture she may prefer a modern style for her engagement ring. She loves the unusual things, like the silly looking (but intelligent) mutt puppy at the dog shelter. At times, the same is said about the scruffy and rugged choice of her husband-to-be, according to her mother! But she loves things to be different, and perhaps a diamond in a wide platinum band with diamond chip accents gives her that above-the-ordinary look she will love for her engagement ring.
Classic is a word that describes the tried and true, original and well-loved by many people. Things like classic cars, Coke Classic, and classic movies like “The Wizard of Oz” are examples. The word represents tradition, especially for the bride-to-be that wants a wedding seeped in traditions such as the flowing white gown, and dancing the night away with her groom in the Grand Ballroom. The perfect style of engagement ring for this bride-to-be would have a beautifully cut center diamond with diamond accents on each side of the main setting, in either a shining platinum or smooth gold. The accent stones can be in an elongated style or the classic three-stone style that is so loved.
The Vintage bride-to-be is the savvy shopper that went to the thrift stores in high school and college, putting together the most amazing outfits with a flare and styles that are timeless. Although she can now afford the designer handbags and the newest styles in wedding gowns, she would prefer to be married in the dress her grandmother wore in the 1940’s. Her engagement ring preference may be a vintage style of custom-cut center diamond surrounded by a halo of small diamonds for the look that will light up her eyes.
