 Choosing an engagement ring is a significant moment, not just for your partner, but for you as well. The ring you choose will be with you both for a lifetime, symbolising your commitment to each other and your unique story. 

When you’re faced with a bunch of endless options, it can be easy to get overwhelmed by all of the latest trends. But if you want a more timeless piece that reflects both your relationship and withstands the test of time, putting your focus on classic engagement ring styles can be the smart choice. 


These styles have been loved for decades and will continue to captivate for years to come.

Solitaire

One of the most timeless engagement ring choices is a solitaire cut, which offers timeless simplicity and sophistication, as the design is one that can draw all the attention of the centre stone.

This classic style has remained popular because it’s both elegant and versatile, allowing it to work seamlessly with a variety of styles. 

Round brilliant cut

The round brilliant cut is the most popular and universally loved diamond shape, known for its exceptional sparkle and versatility. With its many facets, this cut is purely designed to catch the light from all angles, creating a stunning display of brilliance.

This shape is the perfect choice for someone who desires a piece that feels both timeless yet still dazzles in its own light. With its popularity, it is seen as an easier choice to find different options within different price points, so that you’re able to find something that can suit both your style and budget.

Cushion cut

For those who are drawn to vintage-inspired designs, the cushion cut is the perfect combination of both classic beauty and modern charm. With its rounded edges and soft corners, this cut exudes a type of elegance with a contemporary twist. 

Celebrities like Zendaya have chosen this cut, showcasing its timeless beauty on the red carpet. The cushion cut’s unique shape and signature sparkle make it a standout choice for someone who is wanting a ring that has a fresh and nostalgic feel to it. 


Halo
The halo setting features a ring of smaller diamonds that encircle the centre stone, creating the effect of adding extra sparkle and creating the appearance of a bigger, more luminous gem. This style has always remained in style, as it enhances the beauty of the centre diamond, all while maintaining a classic, elegant look.

The halo style allows for a bit of extra flair without losing the initial timeless charm the ring has. Whether you decide to choose a round diamond or a different shape, halo settings are great at elevating designs and are a showstopper.

Final thoughts…

When deciding on the right engagement ring, the choice is always personal, as rings can hold meaning in so many different ways with the different designs and cuts. But opting for a more classic style ensures that your selection will always feel as special and relevant as the day you first received it. 

As you make this meaningful choice, remember that a ring should reflect the values, love and a future built on the foundation of something truly timeless.
