With so many engagement ring styles out there, it can be hard to know which one you should choose. Picking an engagement ring is all about the individual. Choosing a ring to reflect your style, taste, and values will help mark one of the most special and memorable moments in life. If you’re stuck on what style to choose, check out our guide for every engagement ring style and type.
SOLITAIRE
Taking its name from the French for "alone", a solitaire ring carries one single diamond. Possibly the most popular style of engagement ring, this design boasts elegance in its simplicity. The gemstone is usually set high, which allows the diamond maximum exposure to light, enhancing its brilliance. It is perhaps best suited to a woman who prefers classic style.
HALO
This "ethereal" style ring has a central gemstone surrounded by a "halo" of smaller diamonds to emphasize its sparkle and make it appear larger. Best suited to the fashion-forward woman, this design seems set to become the "new classic".
THREE-STONE
Also known as a trinity or trilogy ring, this design sports a trio of gemstones, symbolizing your past, present and future together. The center gemstone is usually set higher than the complementary side gemstones to highlight the (usually) larger gemstone and add depth to the ring. It's a wonderful choice for the woman who is sentimental and enjoys symbolism.
INFINITY
Infinity engagement rings offer contemporary style that symbolizes the intertwining of husband and wife. The lines of the band create an infinity sign by twisting together to form the figure. This unique design represents the infinite capacity for love and emphasizes the never-ending commitment of marriage.
VINTAGE
Timeless beauty is always in style. ReadYourHeart's "reinvented vintage" engagement rings possess splendor from a bygone era but exhibit a contemporary twist. Using a combination of engravings, milgrain detailing and a certain "je ne sais quoi", their romance and intrigue know no bounds.
