Asking the love of your life to marry you is quite challenging. It takes courage and a lot of planning. One of the hardest parts of planning an engagement proposal is choosing an engagement ring. You don’t have to spend thousands of dollars to buy the most expensive ring in the world to offer to your girlfriend. There’s a reason classic engagement rings are still as popular today as they were decades ago – they symbolize undying love for one another. Still, this shouldn’t be an excuse for you to be careless when it comes to choosing the best ring. Remember, she will remember your proposal for the rest of her life, and the proof of that proposal is the ring itself. To help you choose the best engagement ring for her bride, here are the top 10 classic engagement rings.
10. Solitaire
Nothing says more classic than a solitaire engagement ring. The unique diamond signifies grace and elegance. If you have the budget, splurge on a platinum band. If you want something more affordable, go for white gold.
9. Princess-Cut
If your bride-to-be has classic taste but isn’t afraid to have an air of distinction, buy her a fancy-shaped stone ring. A classic princess cut stone will let you know that she is above the rest.
8. Emerald-Cut
If you want your partner to know how important she is in your life, give her an amazing rock with an emerald cut, like what Mariah Carey got from her ex-boyfriend James Packer: a 35-carat emerald cut center stone with two tapered baguettes. . .
7. Unique Setting
If you want to surprise your girlfriend with a twist on the classic solitaire design, look for a ring with a unique setting for the stone. Instead of the four-prong setting, opt for a six-prong set stone to elevate the stone from the band. This will allow even more light to shine through, which will make the stone shine even more.
6. Three-Stone Rings
Say I love you for three with a classic three-stone engagement ring. While they are more expensive than solitaires, they are incredibly unique and can symbolize your past, present, and future with your future girlfriend.
5. Split Shank Setting
If your partner is the type who would forgo a wedding ring for a more sophisticated engagement ring, give him a split-set engagement ring. This type of engagement ring divides the band around the center of the diamond. This area can be expanded to accommodate additional decorations. A true classic that conveys an antique feel while doubling as a statement piece, split stem rings are sure to give you that “yes” you crave.
4. Diamond Band
Why not pamper your loved one with a diamond band? Why proclaim your love with a single stone? Go your best with a channel-set diamond band or a whole ring paved with small diamonds. Pavé diamonds have the stones beautifully set on the band so close together that the metal is often not visible.
3. Engagement Ring and Wedding Band Set
If you are sure of yourself and think that your girlfriend will accept your proposal, why not give her a set of engagement and wedding rings? Most jewelers face the problem of modifying wedding rings because they do not go well with their engagement rings or vice versa. As a result, many jewelry designers now create an elegant ring set that fits perfectly.
2. Gemstones
If your wife is not just anyone, give her a ring with a touch of color! Emeralds, rubies, or sapphires would be a nice classic touch for your proposal. If you still want to add diamonds, have a diamond-paved personalized sapphire ring similar to the one Princess Eugenie has, a rare padparadscha sapphire ring.
1. Cubic Zirconia
When the budget is tight, but you still want to impress your woman, go for cubic zirconia. These stones are simulators of artificial diamonds that cost much less than a diamond. If you can find a reputable jeweler, you can get a sophisticated ring that looks a lot like a diamond.
Choosing an engagement ring for your loved one will be easy if you know what she likes. If you are attentive to her gestures, words, and likes, you will already have an idea of what to give her. Of course, you should also consider your budget. If you have money to spend, you can go the extra mile and ask a jeweler to personalize a ring for you. If you are on a budget, it may be wise to give you an heirloom ring. One of the things that you should take into account when buying a ring, in addition to the style, is the size. Make sure you know the size of your partner’s ring; if not, it is best to get one a little larger than you think you will need.
When you get her to say yes, it’s time to choose the best destination for your wedding!
