Tuesday, June 15th, 2010

Getting engaged is a thoroughly exciting time and one that everyone asks about for years to come. How did they propose? Did you accept right away? One thing that is always highly coveted is that special engagement ring. Although this can be an expensive purchase it will be worn for a lifetime and so taking abit of time to think about the kind of ring you would want can avoid disappointment later.

Before you even propose you might want to consider going ring shopping together. If this kills the mystery as far as you are concerned then pair up with your fiance’s friends or relatives. Choose someone that knows her really well. She may have discussed this with a friend and it will show initiative if you have sought the advice of a friend.

Solitaire engagement rings are popular choices and have a timeless quality making them highly sought after. They can make a bold and dramatic impact depending on the size of diamond. Smaller stones can look elegant and understated.

The other plus with this type of ring is that you are in the designer driving seat. You can select the cut, set and size of rock and you can even create your own design for engraving on the ring. It would be a unique piece and that appeals to many.

Engagement rings come in a host of styles. They can be set within gemstones, positioned at angles and come in different shapes, one of which is the square cut diamond, a popular and contemporary choice.

Another choice is the antique engagement ring. Many vintage and antique stores have a collection of beautiful period jewelry. These rings are special because they come with a slice of history and connect romance across the decades. They also have features of the period so a beautiful 1920s ring will be a classic piece that you can cherish and appreciate.

Antique engagement rings are also special in that you could propose with a family heirloom which shows just how much your chosen bride means to you. Rings that carry tradition and family history with them have an importance and a sense of something more than the object itself.

These are some tips on selecting the right ring, but whether you go vintage or modern you should decide what will work best for your wife to be. Good luck with the selection and congratulations.
