Presenting optimal solutions for engagement rings closely resembles the process of presenting options for wedding dresses. Given the unlimited number of styles, personalities and expectations, sometimes the best we can do is to offer a few different starting points, to help get the engagement ring selection process under way. In that case the question is, what are some valid starting points, to help someone move forward in their engagement ring search? Starting with Italian engagement rings, for example, is not always the most productive route, as Italian engagement rings a eccentric by nature. On the other hand, starting with popular designs at a specific price point, such as engagement rings under 500 dollars, can also be fruitless, as mainstream engagement ring designs often lack an edge, which is a must, in order to help excite the prospective buyer. One potential route could be specific diamond cuts, since a detailed review of diamond cuts could lead to some productive dialogue, allowing one to move on to the next step in their engagement ring search. As a starting point, we occasionally recommend starting with round cut diamond engagement rings, princess cut and halo engagement rings. Both of these diamond cuts and the halo design tend to elicit emotion and curiosity. The emotion could be either positive or negative, which can ultimately help induce changes and properly shape your search for the perfect engagement ring.
Italian rings tend to go against the grain with elusive design elements and intense sophistication. These particular Italian engagement rings, however, offer a unique perspective on the tradition three-stone trilogy engagement ring design. The first Italian engagement ring above features a uniquely curved 18k white gold shank, with three Italian round cut diamond, set in slanted white gold prong settings. The second Italian three stone trilogy engagement ring offers an unusually split shank in 18k white gold, with the Italian round cut diamonds set at the tips of the resulting shank strands. Both of these seemingly mainstream three stone trilogy engagement rings with round cut diamonds offer a unique edge and can serve as a potentially great starting point in an engagement ring search.
Princess cut engagement rings have skyrocketed in popularity, especially in the 21st century. Despite the fact that princess cut engagement rings often feature similar designs to those of their round cut diamond counterparts, the romantic aspect of a princess cut diamond tends to prevail. The princess cut engagement ring shown above features a relatively common east-west design, with a symmetrical shank in white gold and quarter carat total diamond weight. The second princess cut engagement ring above features a white gold shank and a total of 1.5 carats of total diamond weight, where only the center diamond is a princess cut, but what a romantic engagement ring it becomes! Both of these princess cut engagement rings can be a great start in an engagement ring search, and their acceptance or rejection could prove useful for subsequent revision of what you like and what to avoid.
Halo engagement rings offer a similar opportunity to shed light on the positives and the negatives, relative to the given taste of the recipient. The first halo engagement ring above features a fancy colored center diamond, with a total of over two carats in diamond weight. The second halo engagement ring combines the round cut diamonds along the circumference of the halo, with a princess cut center diamond to complete the halo. Your reactions to these engagement ring designs are invaluable, and can lead the way to the engagement ring that is right for you.
If we could start with the answer to all engagement ring questions, life would be easy. The fact is that there are ways to get the answers we are looking for. Engagement rings are a colossal topic, and wedding rings are the same way. Starting with cheap wedding rings under 100 dollars, for instance, can shed some light on design aspects you react positively to, and a subsequent search of some unique wedding rings can help strengthen your knowledge as to what your focus should be. Always remember that searching for engagement rings is a process, which requires a great deal of both patience and guidance.
