How to Choose an Engagement Ring for an Unforgettable Proposal

Asking someone to marry you is a delicate and emotional moment that should be carefully planned to make it truly unforgettable. The first thing that comes to mind is, of course, the engagement ring, which should be precious, elegant, and unique. How to choose the perfect engagement ring? Here are some tips to follow and the different types of rings to choose from, for both her and him, to remember such an incredibly important moment for a lifetime.

Engagement Ring Guide: Choosing the Perfect Ring

There are several considerations to make before embarking on the search for the perfect ring to make a unique proposal:

• Define the budget: Forget about excessive rings or enormous precious stones and always keep in mind the phrase "less is more", which also applies (and especially!) in these cases. Define a budget and stick to it, without panicking if you don't have a big budget and if you are looking for an engagement ring that is affordable, we assure you there are several elegant options available, even on a low budget, such as the Sweetrock Heart-shaped ring with white, black, or red precious zircons from the romantic Sparkling Love Edition.
• Respect the style and taste: Choose an engagement ring that represents the style of the person who will receive it. Some people prefer classic rings, while others may prefer more unusual models, such as the solitaire ring with black stonesfrom the Aurea collection.
• Choose the right stone: Do you know the meaning of precious stones ? If you don't know where to start to choose the right engagement ring, you could discover the message of each gem and make the moment even more meaningful, choosing the one that will convey specific messages that speak (also) of love to the person you love.
• Ask for help: Sharing this important moment with someone is essential. From choosing the right ring size to the actual purchase, always ask for an opinion or help from someone who knows the person you want to marry well.

What engagement ring to give for a proposal: the most popular models for her and him

Choosing an engagement ring is not an easy task and, as we have seen, there are several aspects to consider: here are the most popular models for her and him!

Engagement rings for women

The most classic engagement ring model for women is the solitaire ring, featuring a single gemstone (typically a diamond) mounted on a precious metal band. If you're on the hunt for this classic style and looking for an affordable option, the Sentimental collection's solitaire ring is the perfect choice.

Another popular choice is the trilogy ring, featuring three precious gemstones mounted on a precious metal band. If you're looking for something more unique and non-traditional, you might consider opting for a coloured gemstone engagement ring from the Colour Wave collection.

However, if you're searching for something simple yet elegant, you may choose a ring without gemstones. These types of rings are often favoured for their understated elegance and may be inscribed with meaningful details, serving as a lifetime reminder of the special moment, like the customisable 925 sterling silver band ring.

Engagement rings for men

Men's engagement ring models also come in various styles and the choice, like for women's models, will depend on budget and, more importantly, the taste of the person receiving it. Among the most popular models are simple white or yellow gold bands, rings with diamonds or precious gemstones, and models made of platinum or steel, such as the B-Yond men's ring..
