Different Engagement Rings

The engagement ring can be the best material gift a woman receives. The ring represents the promise of marriage and that elusive happily ever after. Jewelers and wedding magazines will suggest spending two months' salary on a ring, but the "right" budget will vary from person to person. The ideal engagement ring will make the bride's eyes widen and jaw drop before she answers, "Yes!'

Solitaire
Solitaire engagement rings contain only the band and a center stone raised away from the band with prongs. The diamond is the most common stone, but other stones such as sapphires and pearls can be used. Solitaire rings give a simple, understated look. Small stones can look bigger when they stand alone. Additionally, because solitaire rings have no other stones, that extra savings can go into buying a larger or better quality stone. The solitaire is easy to match to almost any wedding band of your choice.

Multistone Rings
Multistone rings have any number of stones along the band. The stones can be set into the band or they can be raised up with prongs. A popular choice is the three-stone engagement ring, which has a larger center stone surrounded by a smaller-size stone on either side.Generally, the cut of the stones are all the same, but some stones give the "petal effect."Petal-shape diamonds surround a center stone to give the appearance of a flower. Some rings use more than one colored stone such as alternating diamonds with blue or red sapphires.

Metals
The standard engagement ring metal is gold, but the more expensive platinum is becoming common. Many younger brides prefer white gold, but yellow gold is still the classic choice Platinum is a natural white metal that never fades or tarnishes. Titanium is a lightweight and sturdy silver-colored metal that has been used in the production of aircrafts and more recently engagement rings Titanium rings are harder to re-size, but a seller that specializes in titanium will have special tools to adjust the fit of your ring.

Diamond Colors
There is a whole rainbow of diamond colors to consider. Colored diamonds are rare and can be very costly. Colors include blue, pink, yellow, red, green, orange, purple, brown, olive and violet. The standard is a clear diamond. When choosing a clear diamond, the more "colorless" the stone, the more money you will pay. Diamonds that have a yellow tint are worth less money because they are considered less perfect.

Diamond Cuts
The most popular cut is the round brilliant diamond. Growing in popularity is the princess cut which is a perfect square shape that can also be set on its corners for what is known as "kite setting." The oval cut helps elongate small hands or short fingers. The Marquise shape is an oval with pointed ends. The pear diamond looks like tear drops and make short fingers appear longer The heart shape diamond gives a very romantic look. The emerald diamond is a long rectangular shape with cut corners.
