ENGAGEMENT RING STYLES

1. TYPES OF ENGAGEMENT RING: WHICH ARE THERE?

The tradition of engagement rings is not the same in all cultures, but what does always coincide is that it is considered a symbol of promise of eternal love and respect.

When choosing a ring that suits your partner, the first step is to know the types that exist on the market.

Without a doubt, the solitaire, in its different versions, is the most popular ring, although there are other models with great acceptance, which we detail below.

SOLITAIRE RINGS

They are the most classic. When we talk about a solitaire ring we are referring to those that have only one diamond that shines on its own. The most popular is the solitaire with a round diamond and secondly the oval one. An ideal option for lovers of discretion and elegance.

HALO RINGS 

Its name already indicates it. Halo rings are those that have a central diamond that is surrounded by other small diamonds. This style makes the center stone appear larger.  Perfect for those who love shine, without excesses.

RINGS TRILOGY 

 Also known as Trillion. Ring with a central diamond or gem usually larger than those on the sides, although all three may be the same. It can also be combined with a precious stone (emerald, ruby ​​or sapphire) with two diamonds on the sides. They symbolize the past, present and future of the couple.

A very significant bet for all those who love jewelry with a very sentimental background.

ETERNITY RINGS

The most striking of all, since they have uninterrupted diamonds symbolizing the continuity of the relationship and eternal commitment.

HALF ETERNITY

 These are simple cut rings in which there is no main stone that stands out from the set. They are usually made up of diamonds and other precious stones that are set in the middle of the ring. 

ILLUSION RING

They have several diamonds/precious gems set together to look like one large diamond/gemstone. The cluster setting maximizes the brilliance of the gems, gives the illusion of a larger stone, and is an affordable option for those shopping on a budget.

 2. AESTHETICS AND ATTRIBUTES

The material plays a fundamental role in choosing the engagement ring. The aesthetics vary depending on which one is chosen, so it is essential to know its characteristics. At Nanna Folk we use the best materials, including white, yellow and rose gold, as well as platinum.

MATERIALS:

WHITE GOLD RING

White gold rings are an excellent choice for those who prefer a classic finish with a slight modern feel, or for those looking for a subtle contrast with diamonds. They are often chosen for their similarity to platinum, but at a more affordable price and have a shiny, silvery hue. They stand out for being resistant, although over time, the rhodium coating can wear off and lose some of its original shine, so it may sometimes require some retouching.

YELLOW GOLD RING

It is the most popular of all, a perfect option for those looking for a classic and durable design, which evokes a traditional and elegant style. The yellow gold ring is one of the most chosen for having good resistance to corrosion, which makes it ideal for daily use. However, it is a little softer than other metals, so it can scratch more easily.

ROSE GOLD RINGS

It is one of the least common, but the most original option of all. The rose gold ring stands out for its soft and warm tone, which combines perfectly with a romantic and delicate aesthetic. It is quite resistant thanks to the copper in its composition, which makes it harder and less prone to scratching than yellow gold. In addition, this looks great combined with warm-toned gemstones.

PLATINUM RINGS

Platinum rings are perfect for those looking for an exclusive and long-lasting option. As a general rule, they are the favorites of those couples who boast modern and minimalist styles. Among its attributes, this natural white material stands out for having an elegant and long-lasting shine that does not need coatings. Although its appearance is similar to that of white gold, its tone is slightly more subtle.
