Traditional engagement rings have massive diamonds, but future brides want big bands instead. Rings with multiple studded bands or looping settings will stun any modern bride and accessorize any outfit.

2. Small Personal Details

Make your bride’s ring speak to her personality with small decorative details. Find a diamond in a flower setting if your partner loves to garden or an engraved message inside the band.

4. Vintage European Cuts

If your partner loves thrifting or decorating with antiques, she will love vintage European cuts. Heirloom-inspired designs connect modern life with family legacies. Check out historic faceting patterns and see what you can find in your budget.

Worried that your future bride might not like a vintage-inspired ring? You can always ask her loved ones for guidance concerning her jewellery preferences. It is one way to make engagement ring shopping easier if you are not sure where to start.

6. Shining Green Emeralds

Emeralds are another way to make your partner’s ring pop with colour. They speak to your partner’s special place in your heart and one-of-a-kind personality.

John F. Kennedy gave Jackie an emerald ring set in a wreath-like band when he proposed in 1953. Brides have been obsessed with the gemstone ever since, so your partner’s heart will skip a beat when she sees one on her ring finger.

7. Virtual Ring Shopping

You do not have to drive around town to shops with limited in-person options. Virtual ring shopping is more popular than ever, thanks to widespread deals and much more extensive inventories. If you get tired of walking into stores, you will likely find a great deal with a virtual sale.

8. Split Side Stones

Instead of getting a ring with one central diamond, find one with split side stones. Even the most minimalist bride will not be able to live without the artfully arranged star-like clusters and scaled-back settings.

9. Yellow Gold Settings

Traditional or white gold are not the only metal options for engagement rings anymore. Now you can find yellow gold settings too. It is more valuable and easier to match with future outfits, so it will never look out of place at holiday parties or casual cookouts after your proposal.
