Pretty Engagement Rings That Do Your Special Someone Justice

Wait… aren’t all engagement rings pretty? Well, of course they are, which is why choosing just one can be so overwhelming and tedious! Here is a selection about which you have likely never even thought: the pretty style engagement rings.

What is a pretty style engagement ring?

While all engagement rings are beautiful in their own, unique ways, the term “pretty style engagement ring” is often used to describe engagement rings with a vintage touch, intricate metal work or accent diamond patterns, and/or delicate styles and settings.

Popular metals and diamond shapes in pretty style engagement rings

Platinum is a very popular metal for pretty style engagement rings, especially for those with thinner bands or more intricate metal work. Platinum is a sturdier metal, allowing more support where the metal in the ring might otherwise be more fragile and guaranteeing the longest life possible of the engagement ring.

White and yellow gold are also common metals used for pretty style engagement rings. They can be used interchangeably for rings with a more vintage touch, and they also compliment the more modern looking pretty style rings, as well.

Rose gold, although less common, gives the ring an antique-esque appearance, and makes a great metal choice for pretty style engagement rings that lean more toward the vintage style.

Some choice diamond cut combinations for these metals are:

Princess Cut
Square Cut with Round Accent Diamonds
Round and Oval Cut
Square and Emerald Cut

Tips for buying pretty style engagement rings

Here, we’ve listed a few pointers and tips to help you in your journey as you shop for the perfect pretty style engagement ring:

Remember your “vintage” point. As we mentioned, many pretty style engagement rings have a vintage, or traditional, touch to them. As such, it is easy to confuse them with purely vintage style rings, and stray completely off your intended searching and shopping path. Decide how “vintage” you want the ring to be (or not be) before you begin your search, and make note of which rings you find that cross too far into the vintage style for your needs.

Simple, or elegantly lavish? The intricate designs and shine of many pretty style engagement rings are hypnotizing, with each one you find more beautiful and heart-winning than the last. If your bride-to-be has a slightly simpler taste, you might want to stick more to the classic vintage aspect of the pretty style engagement rings.

Refunds. In the event that you get overly excited and choose a ring that doesn’t capture 150% of her heart as soon as she lays her eyes on it, or it doesn’t look as lovely on her finger as you’d imagined, make sure you can return or exchange the ring BEFORE you make your purchase.

Custom vs. ready-made. Many jewelry customers go the way of unique, custom-made jewelry these days, especially when it comes to engagement rings. However, be sure that the ring you want made will be complete in time for your plans to pop the question. A temporary grocery store gum machine substitute won’t fit as well, or look as beautiful!
