Engagement Rings – Its Types
Saturday, 14. November 2009
Time and effort is important when buying an engagement ring as it is an important purchase. An engagement ring does not only symbolize their impending union, but also a very wise investment.
Engagement rings come in different types. The most common types are as follows.
Diamond engagement ring
This is the most popular and the most sought-after among the engagement rings. Nothing can compare to the sparkle, elegance, and radiance that this traditional engagement ring offers.
Non-diamond engagement rings
Non-diamond engagement rings are preferred for their price and uniqueness. Although ‘diamond is a girl’s best friend’, some women like the non-traditional types of engagement rings. These are made with different gems or semi-precious stones like emeralds, sapphires, pearls, opals and rubies.
Gold and platinum engagement rings
The most popular metal is gold, while the most expensive is platinum. When it comes to value and durability, these two are the most popular choice for engagement rings.
Titanium and stainless steel engagement rings
Titanium and stainless steel are preferred by those who want their engagement rings to be very durable and strong but are lesser in price. Titanium engagement rings are very strong, lightweight and hypoallergenic, while stainless steel engagement rings are incredibly strong and scratch-resistant.
Vintage engagement rings
Vintage engagement rings are antique rings like Victorian engagement rings, Edwardian engagement rings and Art Deco engagement rings. These rings are authentic and historical. There are also those vintage engagement rings produced today which were designed to look old.
Three-stone rings
Three stone rings are those with three matching stones arranged in a row that are usually emphasized by a prong setting. Generally, the center stone is the most prominent in a three-stone ring. The three represent the couple’s past, present, and future relationship.
We believe that an engagement ring should not be too expensive. It must be of high quality, elegant, unique, beautiful, and affordable.
