Everyone probably knows about the solitaire type engagement ring. It usually has a slender band and a four or six prong head. This style is a classic and a good place to start if you are anxious to pop the question but not sure as to what style she will want to wear forever. After you have proposed then you can perhaps take her to pick out a more unique style of engagement ring that she might like. Or today a lot of couples do the preliminary shopping together so that he can get an idea as to what she might like and then surprise her (safely surprise her) when he proposes.
This is a great solitaire type look with entwined sides symbolizing your lives and with peek-a-boo diamonds on each side. Do you want the sides micro paved with diamonds…we can do that too.
There are so many styles available and we’ll show a few of our favorites. We have found that younger brides seem to really like the engagement ring and wedding band both and that older brides may choose a wider more substantial engagement ring without the additional band.
A lot of women grew up with yellow gold and while they like the new white gold look they like a little yellow to help the rest of their jewelry co-ordinate. Thus the popularity of the two-tone look.
Of course the diamond is of the utmost importance so please make the be
st choice in the diamond that you can, then have fun with the ring mounting.

The halo is very fashionable right now and many of our rings feature this style of having a surround of small diamonds around the main diamond.
Some with yellow gold accents and some that are all white gold and symbolizing your lives separately and joining together to form you life together.
The three stone look symbolizing the past present and future is a very popular look. In styles with milgrain edges or stunning side details as in the center ring below or in a sleeker channel set look below right.
Micro pave is very popular too and you will see it on so many styles. On most of the styles above and some unique styles below. The ring below center has diamonds on the crown. The ring below and to the right is fabulous and works with so many center stones.
We love the raised bridge styles and some are sleek, some are micro-paved, some are two tone. The two tone ones are available in all white gold.
And some engagement rings have some really unique ways of fitting the band underneath the engagement ring and they just fit perfectly.
The cognac color diamond is so beautiful and looks great in all white or in a two tone style.
Colorful gems used in engagement rings is one of the latest trends….not just in cognac diamonds but in other colors of diamonds such as yellow. Blue sapphires are durable enough for daily wear with proper care and that is what Prince William gave to his future bride. We are also being asked about aquamarine as a center stone which has an icy blue color and it may be a more affordable alternative to diamond.
So if you want something a little unique or a lot unique come on by. Bring any pictures or drawings you might have and we will work with you to get you the look you want. If you have the center stone already we will be happy to work with it. We’ll also clean and check all of your jewelry for free while you browse.
