Polgold Jewelers’ Essential Engagement Ring Style Guide


Finding the perfect engagement ring for the person you love the most can be a little challenging, especially with so many options to choose from. You always want a ring which leaves a lasting impression while still being the perfect match to your partner’s style and a token of how you feel. But you’ve come to the right place! Let’s explore the most popular engagement ring styles and what makes each one special!
 
 
Solitaire Engagement Ring

Solitaire

 
The solitaire has always been the hallmark of engagement rings par excellence. The solitaire style is the epitome of elegance, sophistication, and timeless design, which has made the happiness of many sweethearts.
 
Solitaire rings have kept the tradition of love and engagement rings alive. The design looks dreamy and showcases the diamond shape like no other style. The stone will be beautifully highlighted—thanks to the prong setting—while still remaining discreet and elegant. This style speaks for itself and never fails to draw eyes.

 
Straight Engagement Ring

Straight

 
Do you suspect your partner would love a solitaire style with a little more glitz and glam? Then the straight engagement ring style might be what you’re looking for. A straight ring features the same focal center stone, but the mount is adorned by a series of tiny diamonds, embedded along the top and sometimes the sides of the shank.

Then all you’ll have to do is pick the perfect design to match your soon-to-be-fiancé’s style-designs include bubble style, milgrain patterns, pave settings, bar settings, and more. Whether your partner loves modern or classic styles or even vintage-inspired rings, there’s a straight ring with their name on it.

 
Three stone Engagement Ring

Three stone

 

If your partner cannot decide between diamonds and sapphires, the three-stone style will let you get both! This swoon-worthy design allows for many combinations of diamonds and sapphires since its flaking stones and the centerpiece can feature different cuts and gems.

This ring style brings forth the idea of commitment in which each stone represents your past, present, and future together. This design oozes radiance from all sides with three dazzling stones.

Split Shank Engagement Ring

Split Shank

 

The beautiful detailing in this engagement ring style creates a sparkling effect which has conquered many hearts. The design features a divided shank that runs to the center of the ring to support the central diamond.

This is a lovely take on classic designs where a cleaved shank allows for a peek of the finger while also giving the illusion of a bigger ring (with room for more accented diamonds!). This engagement ring will ensure your beloved shines wherever she goes.

 

Bypass Engagement Ring

Bypass

 

Bypass engagement rings were born during the Victorian Era and were meant to represent two souls finding each other—now, how romantic is that? Bypass rings often feature two center stones bypassing the other, creating quite the effect.

Modern designs of bypass rings also come with a twist—instead of two stones, they can feature one single stone, and the two halves of the ring bypass the other in a semi-spiral design that’s incredibly charming. This also makes a wonderful alternative if you want an engagement ring with both diamonds and colored stones.


 

Criss Cross Engagement Ring

Criss Cross

 

This ultra-modern design features a shank that intersects above and below the ring, “crisscrossing.” This style uses lovely layering techniques, ensuring light hits the center diamond from every angle.
If your sweetheart enjoys unusual ring styles that accentuate the diamond brilliance with endless possibilities, the criss cross can surely represent the uniqueness of your love. The details in this engagement ring make it a favorite!

 

Halo Engagement Ring

Halo

 

This style features a central gemstone surrounded by smaller diamonds. The smaller diamonds give the appearance of greater size and volume to the central gem, making the halo one of the most romantic engagement ring styles.

If you’re looking for something classic and well-adorned, this oh-so-gorgeous design might be the one for your beloved.  Would you like just a bit more sparkle? No problem, a double halo ring will be glamorous and even more romantic.

Free Form Engagement Ring

Free Form

 

Are you looking for an engagement ring outside the box? Creative brides love them! Free-form engagement rings have no predefined form, making some of the most exquisite and one-of-a-kind designs.
The sky’s the limit here-sharp metal curves, diamonds, vintage inspiration, and even Art-Deco inspired rings. If you’re not afraid of being daring with the engagement ring style, explore free form designs’ originality and beauty.


 

 
Diamonds Colors

Pick your diamond

 

Now that you know the style you like, it’s time to choose the perfect diamond to bring it all together! A diamond symbolizes an eternal union, and that is why they’re most often used for engagement rings. Due to their unique characteristics and the fact that diamonds are the hardest substance on earth, it’s only fitting for this stone to symbolize timeless love.

But, picking a diamond can be daunting, especially if it’s your first time. Don’t worry, though. The secret for choosing a great diamond is to find the ideal balance of diamonds’ four properties: clarity, cut, color, and carat—also known as the 4Cs.

The carat is the weight of a diamond, the clarity determines the purity level, the color affects the undertones (from complete transparency to yellow hues), and the cut—not to be confused with the shape—refers to how much your diamond can offer maximum light reflection.

If you want to explore every nuance of the 4Cs, check Polgold Jewelers’ diamond education page here.

Polgold Jewelers are your diamond destination. We offer lab-grown and natural diamonds in the most popular diamond shapes such as round, oval, princess, cushion, emerald, pear, and marquise.
