How do you select the Cool matching rings?

The first rule is most obvious, however it is the least adhered to. The CoupleSet ring must be chosen with care so that it represents the person who is receiving it. The symbolism is fine, but not too much, as the ring will (hopefully) be kept for a lifetime, so it's a shame if the person who receives it doesn't like it. Of course, tradition invites the future groom to announce his engagement with the family engagement ring, i.e. his mother's, however this is not a stipulation to be ascribed in stone (especially if such a close relationship is not established between the mother-in law and the groom's new spouse). ).

Classic engagement rings

The solitaire with diamonds (the Setting by Tiffany & Co. so to say) and the variation with the central stone of precious stones and an accent diamond (that of Lady Diana now on Kate Middleton's finger)

The ring made of the trilogy is composed of three stones, mostly three diamonds. It conveys powerful messages of love, as each stone is a declaration of love "I love you (Past), and I love you today (Present) and I will always love you in the future (Future).

The reviere ring is a continuous chain of diamonds or stones which symbolizes love and a strong bond.

The toi and moi is a symbol for the union of two lovers.

The pearl engagement ring is a symbol for pure and perfect love.

The Claddagh ring is a symbol of the Irish tradition. It can be recognized from a distance by its shape, because it is made up of three parts, each of which has a meaning: two hands identify friendship, the heart is a symbol of sincere love, and the crown that is above it symbolizes loyalty.

If you are seeking something unique we suggest looking at the casket of the upcoming bride or groom to get a sense of the design: minimalist, contemporary, eclectic. We advise you, in this case to bring a picture of the person receiving it or of their favorite jewelery to help the jeweller.

Diamond Cuts

There are a variety of "cuts" available today.

Round Cut - This is the most traditional engagement band particularly when it's in the shape of a classic solitaire.

Emerald Cut - Represents luxury This cut is suitable for an average-large stone. It is the preferred choice of Hollywood stars.

Cushion Cut This cut requires an enormous stone, the final product has a retro look.

Asscher Cut - This cut is really rare because they require an enormous amount of precision. It's similar to the emerald but with different proportions. The geometric shape is square and not the rectangular. It was first invented in 1902 by brothers Asscher and became popular in the 1920s.

Oval Cut - It is defined by a soft form, in a romantic style.

Pear Cut - The "pear" shape is unique It is a good fit for a creative or eclectic personality.

Princess Cut - Traditional cut typically in a square-shaped shape. It is often coupled with smaller diamonds, or pave. It is a great choice for a bohemian design because it pairs well with rose-gold or other edgy elements.

Not just diamonds, the significance of the stones used for the engagement ring.

Many women do not want a diamond on their finger. Lady Diana proved this by choosing a stunning 12-carat oval Ceylon blue sapphire from the Garrard catalogue, surrounded by diamonds and set in white gold. In the collection of royal jewels, Sarah Ferguson's engagement ring also stands out, with in the center a very precious Burmese ruby, crowned with diamonds, and created by Prince Andrew with the assistance of the court jewelers.

Diamond: long-lasting, strong love

Ruby is passionate and ardent love

Sapphire: the true love of a lifetime

Emerald: hope

Aquamarine: long-lasting happy union

Beryl: a strong bond of love

Opal: sincere love

The sustainable engagement ring: synthetic or vintage?

Catherine Zeta Jones has certainly been anticipating new generations by receiving an antique ring. Michael Douglas chose a 1920 ring to show his love for Catherine Zeta Jones. The story is more recent of William of England who repurposed his mother Diana Spencer's ring. Both examples show respect for tradition and a sensitivity to sustainability.

But it is not the only option that is sustainable: synthetic diamonds are an acceptable alternative for those seeking an ever-used token of affection. They don't require work in the mine (in the diamond mines) since they are created in the laboratory. Therefore, you don't have to "pick" tons of rock, use hundreds of gallons of fuel or water. "Many people still believe that they are fake, however lab-grown diamonds are the same from a chemistry and physical standpoint, as mined diamonds without the environmental and social impact." - Jessica Warch, of Kimai. The brand Meghan Markle adores has just launched a line of engagement rings that is made of synthetic diamonds.

Synthetics also let you save money since they are created in a lab. If you're looking for a wedding ring under 1000 euros, you can find these names: Aurate, Catbird, Noemie, James Allen, Sofia Kaman, Recarlo, Vrai, Ritani.

Online engagement rings

Once you've determined the size of the ring, you can follow three paths that you can take: make the proposal with a family pledge and then visit the store to select the piece or... purchase it online. Be aware that we will not require you to "click" on a commercial piece.

In recent years, the number of online services that let you personalize the engagement ring have increased, precisely because the exclusivity makes the declaration even more romantic. The jewelry you pick is guaranteed (or at least, that's the hope) to last many years It's a good idea to pick it based on your preferences (and not the mother's of your or your friend's dealer's) . The risk is that it's kept in the velvet box and then placed in the bedside drawer. This doesn't mean you're required to pick a rough or expensive stone and turn into a jeweler for the occasion: the web offers many smart opportunities that allow you to design the ring you've always dreamed of even with a limited budget.

Adiomor Taylor and Hart and Kay Jewelers allow you to customize the engagement ring. You can pick the color of gold (white or yellow) and diamond cut and shape and in some cases, the design (vintage, Deco Classic, Floral, etc.). You can even pick the price range.

Now you will have no more excuses... to prove yourself with the right ring!
