Becoming engaged can be a very exciting time in your life, but it also marks the beginning of several important decisions to follow. Where will we get married? Who do we invite? And what type of food will we serve? These are all questions that will need to be answered in the coming months. Another important decision, and perhaps the most lasting, is the style of engagement ring you will wear. With so many styles and settings available it can be difficult to choose. Here we will discuss some of the more popular styles of engagement rings to help make this decision a little easier.

The engagement ring is a lasting symbol of love, honor, fidelity and commitment-something you will both give and wear proudly (hopefully) for the rest of your life. The problem with making a decision on the perfect ring, however, is that there are so many styles to choose from. To help thin out the number of choices, your best bet is to closely look at your partner’s style for clues. Men who typically wear little or no jewelry, for example, will usually prefer a simple gold band. Women with elaborate tastes, on the other hand, may only be impressed by something that truly sparkles. If you’re not sure of your partner’s unique tastes in jewelry, you may want to ask around by checking with their friends and family first.

Antique engagement rings are very popular these days. Whether the ring is a family heirloom handed down from generation to generation, one you purchase from an antique dealer, or a newer ring made by a jeweler to simulate the rings of old, an antique engagement ring is the perfect symbol of undying love and longevity.

It’s been said that “no woman could possibly refuse a diamond,” and whether that’s true or not, diamond engagement rings continue to be the most popular style today. These rings are available in a variety of cuts, clarity and settings, allowing you to choose the ring that will best suit your individual style. Whether you prefer a single diamond setting on a band of white gold or many smaller diamonds set in a ring of platinum, the choices are virtually endless.

Whatever style engagement ring you decide on, you may want to make it a joint decision to ensure both parties are pleased. While this approach may take some of the surprise and allure out of the moment of engagement, it will definitely serve you well in all the moments to follow.
