Solitaire Rings for Her

Solitaire Rings are the most classical and traditional engagement rings. They are also the most sold engagement rings. Solitaire engagement rings mean single diamond or a gemstone in the center and no other accent stones surrounding the main stone. Solitaire Rings come in different shapes such as round, square, oval, heart, marquise, and etc. The most common ones are round and square. Solitaire Rings are mostly popular with diamonds in the center. Men mostly don’t know what to choose for an engagement ring for their girlfriends. If a guy doesn’t know what his girlfriend likes and want to surprise her, I would suggest going with a solitaire ring than the other types. Solitaire Ring is the easy one and excellent for the proposal. My favorite one is the princess cut solitaire engagement ring.

Pave Engagement Rings for Her

Pave Engagement Rings are becoming very popular in the last couple of years. Pave means a type of setting, which is made of small gemstones, mostly diamonds, set closely together. There is metal, what we call prongs, between the gemstones. The reason behind its popularity is that those small diamonds in the pave setting gives huge sparkle to the center diamond and the ring.

Pave Engagement Rings come in platinum, white gold and yellow gold. I prefer the white metal, because white metal will always give more sparkle to the ring. Yellow gold will make the stones yellow and women don’t like to have a ring, which looks yellow.

Pave settings should be checked periodically, because stones are smaller and they can be loose time to time. They also need to be cleaned periodically, because they can get dirty pretty quick.

Another Option for Diamond Engagement Rings; Sapphire Rings

As we all know that, people mostly buy diamonds for engagement rings. That is the most tradition and diamonds give more sparkle than the any other gemstones. The second popular option in stead of diamonds will be sapphires. Sapphires have different characteristics than the diamond. Sapphires are the second strongest gemstone after the diamonds. Their hardness is 9 on the scale, while diamonds are 10.The main color for sapphire is blue, but sapphires also come in different colors such as yellow, pink, and orange. People always ask me “What is the difference between a sapphire and a diamond and why do people choose sapphire as an engagement ring?” Answer for the first question is pretty obvious; First of all, diamonds are stronger than sapphires. Diamonds also sparkle more than the sapphires. Sapphires don’t have too many facets like the diamonds and they don’t sparkle as much as diamonds. Answer for the second question; people choose sapphires for an engagement ring because of the preference. It is totally normal to choose a sapphire for an engagement ring and also combine with diamonds.

Choosing an anniversary ring for her can be challenging. You really should do your research before buying an anniversary gift. Anniversary gifts are very important for her. Wedding anniversaries are very special occasion and they celebrate your marriage. The most common anniversary ring that men buy for their wives is diamond rings. You can’t go wrong with diamonds, but you have to know her jewelry wardrobe. You should buy the one that she doesn’t already have. Diamond Rings can be worn on every occasion; you can wear diamond jewelry during the day as well as special occasions. My favorite anniversary rings are three stone diamond rings and five stone diamond rings. They are very classic and never go out of fashion. Three stone diamond rings symbolize past, present, and future. The three stone diamond ring comes with three stones; they can be in the same shape and size or different. The most traditional one is the one with brilliant diamonds. Normally, the center comes a little bigger than the side stones. My second favorite one is the five stone diamond ring. They normally come in the same size and same shape. Most people wear the anniversary rings on their right hands.
