Choosing the right metal

Choosing the right metal for an engagement ring is part of finding a style that lasts. Think about your partner’s jewelry collection – if they love silver tones, consider sterling silver diamond rings and white gold rings. If they gravitate towards gold, a gold engagement ring will blend seamlessly with the pieces they already love.

Our team's engagement ring advice

An engagement ring is a deeply personal piece of jewelry, which is why your partner’s taste and style matters. Beyond the right stone, shape, cut and metal, think about the style of rings your partner loves – elegant, minimalistic designs or bold statements. Consider how the ring will look on their hand. Long fingers often suit oval or pear-shaped stones, while shorter fingers are beautifully balanced by round or square shaped designs.

Popular engagement ring styles

Engagement rings are designed to be worn and loved forever, which is why many popular styles carry timeless appeal. Classic styles like round and oval cut rings will never go out of fashion, offering elegance that endures. For a less traditional choice, square, heart and pear-shaped rings are a unique choice that make a statement.
