What is a classic engagement ring?
An engagement ring is an item to be worn every day to mark your love story. Because of its importance in your life, it’s always a good idea to go with a classic engagement ring design that’ll never go out of style. The definition of what makes a design timeless is up to interpretation, but there are a few characteristics that make a classic engagement ring. Simple, elegant, and sophisticated, a classic engagement ring honours the bond shared between you and your partner while looking stylish at the same time.
What should I look for in a classic engagement ring?
A classic engagement ring design doesn’t follow trends. It features clean lines and not too many embellishments, meaning it will always be captivating without stealing the spotlight.
Simplicity is a key characteristic of a classic engagement ring. Whether it be a simple solitaire, trilogy, or halo engagement ring, a classic design will keep the extra details to the minimum, letting the essence of the design shine.
The key to picking a classic engagement ring is to choose something that you love. A timeless design can come in many shapes and forms, so you’re sure to find something that speaks to your character and innate style.
What is the most popular classic diamond shape?
Defined by simplicity and elegance, the cut of the centre diamond or gemstone is the most prominent feature of a classic engagement ring. The round brilliant diamond is the most popular choice of centre diamond when it comes to classic styles, especially when set upon a solitaire band. The round diamond solitaire engagement ring is the most iconic jewellery design, a shape of perfect symmetry and beauty.
But beyond the round diamond, there are other fancy diamond shapes that can pull together a clean and classic look. The emerald cut diamond is another timeless shape that was initially created for emeralds in the 14th century. When used for a diamond, the emerald cut is characterised by elongated lines and step cut facets, perfect for those who prefer an understated sparkle.
If you’re looking for a combination of the sparkle of a round brilliant diamond and the square shape of an emerald cut, the cushion cut diamond is another classic that looks fantastic in an understated timeless design. Said to resemble a pillow, this soft and elegant shape was very popular in the early twentieth century and has had a resurgence of popularity in the past several years. Celebrities such as Meghan Markle have brought the cushion cut diamond into the spotlight again. Markle wowed the world with her three carat trilogy diamond ring set with a cushion diamond on a thin yellow gold band.
What gemstones should I pick for a classic engagement ring?
A diamond isn’t the option for a classic engagement ring. Diamonds are known for their everlasting sparkle and brilliance, but some prefer the richness and depth that a coloured gemstone can bring to an engagement ring.
Of all the coloured gemstones, the classic blue sapphire is the most iconic when it comes to bridal jewellery. The best tones for a blue sapphire are a rich navy blue or an electric Ceylon blue. Although sapphires come in a vast array of colours, the blue tones of a sapphire are the most well known. Blue is a very wearable colour and works well for those looking for something timeless.
An emerald is another enduring coloured gemstone. With a rich green glass hue, emeralds are famous for their highly saturated colour. Set as a single solitaire or paired with accent diamond, an emerald suits just about any style.
