Now, all you need is a gorgeous ring that defines your individual style. You probably know exactly what you desire in a brilliant gemstone that sparkles from every angle and sits perfectly on your finger. Today's modern woman has more incredible options than ever such as the emerald, marquise, pear, or any cut you please. If you're excited about finding your dream ring, then check out our guide here for some dazzling tips!

Daily Activity/Personality

When looking for the finest ring that suits you and your style, jewelry experts recommend that you consider your daily routine, fashion perspective, and what aspects of life matter to you.

For example, maybe you enjoy spending time in the great outdoors with your significant other. Perhaps, a ring that features organic details such as vines or flowers would appeal to you. Also, a bezel setting is an excellent way to make sure that your center stone is super-protected during any activity. The setting protects your ring against drops or bumps, too.

If you're a contemporary woman who doesn't want a traditional ring, then you may adore a sculptural design or even a ring that doesn't have a center stone but instead, sparkles with a wide band and gorgeous gemstone accents.

Magnificent Metal Options

Another method for capturing the perfect ring for you comes down to the precious metal you want surrounding your stone.

Platinum, palladium, or maybe you fancy the metal color as a major detail.

Rose gold happens to be a hot trend that will continue throughout the decade. The lustrous pinkish beauty it exudes goes beautifully with yellow gold and flatters every skin tone.

Take your time, and really think about the metal for your ring.

Dazzling Diamonds

Let's face it. Diamonds are truly a girl's best friend, and the amazing gemstone remains the favorite for engagement rings.

The concept of an engagement ring has been around for centuries and centuries. The diamond ring itself became the stone of all stones for engagement rings back in the 1930s, and this stunning stone has never faded away.

In fact, lab grown diamonds are a spectacular choice for many women because they feature the same optics and chemical composition as mined diamonds. The purity of these diamonds is amazing.

Colored Gemstone Choices

For some, a non-diamond is their way to go, and thanks to U.K. royals such as the late Princess Diana and Duchess Kate, colored engagement rings are a popular alternative.

When looking for a vibrant gem as your center stone, there are a couple of considerations. For instance, not all colored stones are able to withstand the activities of daily living. In other words, colored gems can scratch more easily than diamonds, and others need special care.

You want a colored gemstone that can last for a lifetime and have excellent durability.

The beautiful sapphire engagement ring that Diana wore and that Prince William proposed to Kate with, makes for an elegant and strong ring. Jewelers say that this gem happens to be ranked right next to diamonds on the scientific MOHS hardness scale. Diamonds are a solid 10 in terms of hardness, and sapphires score a 9, so that's pretty incredible for this blue gem beauty.

Also, sapphires come in a rainbow of shades that make for striking rings.

Pretty Prong Settings

Even the prongs on your ring matter although many probably never think about them.

The prongs play a major role because they allow your stone to show off its full personality and brilliance. You want to make sure first that the prongs on your precious ring are properly refined so that your stone doesn't wiggle loose or that the prongs don't scratch your skin or any fabric.

Even prong settings have trends. For example, prong settings that feature a claw-design are stylish these days. The claw setting is considered edgy and contemporary compared to traditional rounded prongs.

A ring says a lot about you and the style you imbue. We are all unique individuals, and we know what we like when we see it, right? Take your time when searching for the perfect ring. Trust us; it's out there waiting for you.
