Contemporary engagement rings are not just beautiful, trendy, fashionable and modern, they have been created using the best designs and gem cutting techniques that have been tried and tested over the years. It goes without saying that contemporary engagement rings are made with the young bride in mind, but they’re also perfect for the more mature bride who wants to feel young and put her best ... hand forward when she makes her commitment.
Contemporary engagement ring styles
There are a number of styles and settings suitable if you’re looking for a contemporary style engagement ring. A solitaire (single) diamond engagement ring, a style made famous by Tiffany, never goes out of fashion and is still the most popular jewelry choice for brides-to-be. The sleek and simple elegance of the prong setting is classy, classic and, if you select the gem stone and mounting carefully, can be designed to suit any budget. For a little more cachet, choose platinum, the most costly metal there is, instead of traditional yellow gold. Team platinum or white gold with a brilliant colored gem reminiscent of a peacock’s plumage – a ruby, emerald or sapphire. Or marry yellow tourmaline with rose gold. A simple aquamarine solitaire in a white gold setting is perfectly understated class for a younger woman. For those on a budget, consider semi-precious gem chips scattered like stars on a broad white gold band or give the princess cut new life with a crystal from down under. A fiery opal will kickstart your marriage and reflect the brilliant seasons and moods of your love. It may well be that you decide that modern diamond rings seem anaemic seen next to some of the unusual colors of many semi-precious stones.
Selecting a a good ring jeweler
Most modern jewelers can help you select the design and style for a contemporary style engagement ring that reflects your own tastes and lifestyle. Make sure your jeweler comes recommended and has plenty of experience; ask him or her to show you samples or pictures of previously designed rings so you can get a feel for the way he or she works. And don’t forget to ask for a detailed valuation certificate before you arrange insurance.
It’s a fact - today’s modern women are walking down the aisle into the 21st century with contemporary engagement rings.
