The engagement ring is a timeless symbol of love and together with the wedding ring, they symbolize the endless unity and love of the couple. Talking about engagement rings, we usually imagine a solitaire or halo diamond ring. But it was not always so.
The solitaire diamond engagement ring began to spread in the late 1940s. Until then, engagement rings were more in line with the fashion of the time and the personal tastes of the groom, the bride or both, depending on who chose the ring.
In recent years, however, preferences for engagement rings have expanded. Solitaire diamond rings may still be at the top of the preferences, but more and more couples, especially millennials and Gen Z, are choosing colored gemstones or alternative ring designs for their engagement rings.
Personal preferences play an important role in choosing an engagement ring with an alternative gemstone.
Do you have a favorite gemstone? A favorite color? Or do you prefer your engagement ring to carry your birthday gem? Favorite choices are usually emeralds, rubies, sapphires, and topazes, while fancy diamonds have their own following.
You & me engagement ring
The two-stone ring, also known as the You & Me ring, is one of the most popular engagement rings, as the two gemstones symbolize the couple. You could use the same gemstones or two different gemstones (his and hers birth gemstones or favorite gemstones), for a more special symbolism.
Three-stone Ring
The three-stone rings have a double symbolism and two different designs to choose from. There is the three-stone ring with a central gemstone framed by two smaller gemstones usually symbolizing the couple's past, present, and future.
There is also the three-stone ring with three gemstones of the same size (and usually the same gemstones) that indicate the three most important elements of the couple's relationship - faith, love, friendship.
Cocktail Engagement Ring
Rings with large and impressive gemstones have been chosen in recent years as engagement rings by modern and unconventional couples who want to give a more personal touch to this important moment of their lives. Now, statement rings are more widely used as engagement rings especially among couples with a unique style.
You will be wearing the engagement ring on your finger continuously for several years, so you should choose a design that speaks to you, something that characterizes you as a person. More importantly, the gemstone that you choose must be one that's not likely to be damaged by coming in contact with other materials. So, by choosing a gemstone high on the Mohs scale, you may feel safe that your ring will be safe for years to come.
