Tips for Choosing a Gemstone Engagement Ring

Tip #12- Avoiding Diamonds Altogether: We have many customers who, for a variety of reasons, are not interested in having diamonds in their engagement rings. Some just don't want the look of diamonds and in those cases, a solitaire ring is the best choice. A solitaire ring doesn't have to be boring either. You can consider a ring style with a more ornate or engraved band. Or go bold with a wider band that has a bezel set gemstone at the center. Bezel setting is a great option if you have a very active lifestyle and want to protect the gemstone. You could even consider a 'solitaire' ring that incorporates both of your birthstones. Solitaire rings can be done with any shape gemstone. Princess, round and oval are the most popular as solitaires, but don't overlook marquise, heart, emerald and radiant cut stones as well.
