An engagement ring is more than just a piece of jewelry – it is a symbol of a moment that will never be forgotten. Whether you are planning a romantic surprise or looking for the perfect piece together, choosing an engagement ring can be a beautiful process full of emotion, aesthetics and a personal story. In this article, I bring you a practical guide on how to choose an engagement ring that will reflect both personality and love.
1. Engagement ring by style – What type will suit her?
Every woman is different, which is why an engagement ring is not a one-size-fits-all. If you're choosing a ring as a surprise, take inspiration from your partner's personal style:
-
Minimalist : A delicate ring with a single stone, clean lines, satin finish or bezel setting.
-
Romantic : Classic diamond, rose gold, vintage engravings, or teardrop shape.
-
Natural type : Coarser structures, organic shapes, non-traditional gemstones (e.g. moonstone or green tourmaline).
-
Glamour woman : A sparkling diamond, halo setting, distinctive shine and sparkle.
-
Avant-garde soul : Asymmetrical setting, colored stones, unconventional geometry.
2. Stone: diamond or something else?
Diamonds are classic – but today many couples are also reaching for alternatives with deeper meaning:
-
Sapphire – a symbol of loyalty and wisdom
-
Spinel – fascinating shimmer, colors from pink to black
-
Moissanite – an ecological, cheaper alternative to diamond with a distinctive shine
-
Moonstone – a spiritual stone of femininity and intuition
-
Champagne diamond – earthy tones and unique character
If you would like an engagement ring with a custom stone, I would be happy to suggest a solution that will be in line with her temperament and your story.
3. How to find out your ring size without revealing yourself?
This part can be a challenge – but I have a few discreet tips for you:
-
Borrow her favorite ring (from the ring finger of her left hand) for a few hours and bring it in for measurement.
-
Use a piece of paper and measure the diameter of the ring when you put it away.
-
Ask her best friend or sister – they often know the exact size.
-
With years of experience, I can estimate the size well even from a photo.
If you still can't find the right size, I will be happy to adjust the ring for you free of charge.
4. Design: Shape, fit and finish
Both classic and unconventional shapes dominate engagement rings today:
-
Bezel setting – the stone is protected around the perimeter, suitable for active women
-
East-west – stone set horizontally, modern and elegant style
-
Three-stone rings – past, present, future
-
Chunky & Sculptural – distinctive rings with character
In my studio work, I work with both classic lines and organic shapes inspired by nature. Each piece is hand-crafted with an emphasis on detail and meaning.
5. Why choose a custom-made engagement ring?
A ring created just for you has the power of a moment that cannot be imitated. Together we will design a piece of jewelry that will reflect not only your visual vision, but also the values you share – love, uniqueness, sustainability, and beauty.
My approach is personal, meticulous and intuitive. During each consultation, I listen to your wishes and translate them into a unique piece of jewelry that will carry your story.
Conclusion
An engagement ring is more than just a piece of jewelry – it is a silent witness to love, commitment and hope. Whether you choose a traditional diamond or a stone with deep meaning, the choice should always be personal and true. If you feel it is time to create something unique, I would be happy to meet with you and create an engagement ring that will become your everyday treasure.
