To make an engagement ring fit the one you love, you’ll want to think about their sense of fashion, their lifestyle, and their personality. From there, you can start thinking about a rings overall design and then to the symbolism that might be important to you.
Let’s start with style. If classic style fits, a simple solitaire diamond and a traditional look might make sense. A more modern style will include unique shapes, more intricate settings, and perhaps colored gemstones. Boho? Well, a bohemian style favors intricate designs, mixed metals, unique stones, and ostentatious but not flashy rings. Minimalist style will have a thin band and an understated gemstone. If your love is into a vintage look, you can search for a vintage ring or have a new ring made in a vintage style.
Now, let’s talk about lifestyle. An active lifestyle requires a more durable metal, so perhaps a 10k ring or platinum. It also requires a secure setting and perhaps a smaller stone so the risk of losing your diamond is lowered. A professional lifestyle suggests a sleek and understated design. A more creative lifestyle can suggest bold colors, unique shapes, or even statement pieces. If you think about how the person lives, ideas can really jump out at you.
Personality is important when you make decisions about the ring. Is your partner very romantic? You might consider adding delicate details, heart-shaped accents, or something along those ways. An obvious vintage aesthetic always helps with romance, too. An adventurous personality might call for rugged design, a textured band, or nature-inspired elements. A sophisticated personality might suggest to you elegant lines, a classic design, and a modern look. Is your partner playful. Think about colorful gemstones, unique shapes, and fun designs.
