Diamonds: Various Styles of Engagement Rings

Solitaire diamond engagement rings are certainly one of the most popular styles on the market today. There is no doubt these rings are stunning. A single, often large, stone is set into a plain band and that is it! Of course, there are hundreds of variations on this particular style, but you can easily tweak anything to create the engagement ring of your dreams.

Vintage engagement rings are also very popular. Anything that was popular in the distant past is slowly making a comeback now. Vintage rings are very ornate. At first glance, they look like they should be worn by royalty. There are so many intricate designs on the band that it gives the ring a busy look. Also, vintage rings often have a halo of diamonds around the center stone. This serves to accent the center stone and make it shine with wonder!
Three stone engagement rings are also very gorgeous. If you want someone to notice your ring from across the room, this is the ring for you. Three stone rings are exactly what they sound like: three stones in place of the typical center stone. The middle of the three stones will be the largest usually while the side stones will be just a hair smaller.

Researching Wedding Bands So You Can Make the Right Decision

The wedding bands you see on display in your local jewelry store are gorgeous. There is no way around that. Before you go off and order a couple for you and your honey, take some time and do a little research. These diamond wedding bands will represent your love for one another and also that very special day you became married. Since they are probably the most important pieces of jewelry you will ever own, make sure you do the right thing and research all options.


Since there are a few different styles of wedding bands (and when I say a few, I mean a million!), you certainly want to try and see them all, even if it is just a picture, to make sure you choose the right ones. You do not want to buy one then see a different design the next week and regret your decision. Yes, you can buy different rings down the road, but what is the fun in that? These are your forever rings! They can be added to with anniversary bands, but they should always be the constant in your bridal jewelry. If you are a man, this is the only ring you will ever wear!
