Classic or Contemporary — Which Engagement Ring Design to Choose?

Classic v/s Contemporary Rings: The Difference Between the Two Engagement Rings

The way diamonds are cut is one of the most obvious differences between classic and contemporary engagement rings. The cut of a diamond shows how the many angles and ‘facets’ work together to reflect light.

A princess, round, or oval-cut diamond gemstone is used in classic engagement rings. Some may feature more unusual, complex vintage designs, while others, like a solitaire setting, are simpler and more understated.

Trying To Figure Out Which Engagement Ring Design She Wants?

1. Know her style:

You can glean insights into the style quotient of your fiancée-to-be by keeping a careful eye on her clothes, jewelry, and other accessories. If she normally wears simple clothing (such as jeans with solid-colored shirts), her ring style is most likely sleek, basic, and free of decoration, similar to a solitaire — therefore, classics.

2. Ask The Ones Closest to Her

Women are naturally great at narrowing down styles, especially when they know the person well. Rely on your fiancée’s mother, sister, best friend, cousin, or anybody else who is close to her, apart from you, of course. Your significant other has most likely expressed her desire for a ring to them. If they don’t know, have them casually bring it up, such as “Do you think he’ll propose soon?” or “If he were to propose, what would you want?” Keep your meetings, however, discreet.

3. Observe Her Other Jewelry

The jewelry in her current collection has several hints. Find them! Is she fond of silver necklaces? Is she wearing any yellow gold rings or bracelets? Is it more common for her items to be traditional with diamonds and pearls or ones with colorful gemstones? You may even hint that you’re going to purchase a bracelet or a pair of earrings for her and see if you can learn anything about the metals or settings she prefers.

In the end, only you can choose whether to go trendy, modern, or timeless, classic. It can help, however, to have a myriad of choices. Gabriel & Co. approaches each design and each couple’s needs with a unique perspective that is tailored to your specific taste and lifestyle.
