Which Engagement Ring Should I Get?

With over 70 years of experience in helping couples find the perfect ring, we take great pride in offering unparalleled craftsmanship, timeless designs, and a warm, welcoming experience that reflects the significance of this special moment.

Whether you are drawn to the classic elegance of a solitaire, the intricate beauty of vintage designs, or the brilliance of a halo setting, finding the right engagement ring comes down to personal style, lifestyle, and the story you want your ring to tell.

Understanding the Essentials: What Makes an Engagement Ring Special?

An engagement ring is more than just a diamond—it is a reflection of love, personality, and cherished traditions. While selecting a ring, key factors to consider include the diamond shape, setting, metal choice, and carat size, each contributing to the overall beauty and wearability of the ring.

At Seita Jewelers, we take a personalized approach to help you find a ring that feels just right, ensuring that every detail aligns with your vision.

Choosing a Diamond Shape: A Reflection of Personal Style

The diamond shape is often the first choice when selecting an engagement ring, as it defines the overall look and feel of the ring. Each shape carries its own character and elegance, making it important to choose one that resonates with your personal taste.

• Round Brilliant – The most classic and sought-after shape, revered for its unmatched sparkle and timeless appeal.

• Oval – A sophisticated and elongated silhouette that maximizes carat weight and complements any hand.

• Cushion Cut – Soft, romantic, and vintage-inspired, with a pillow-like shape that enhances warmth and brilliance.

• Emerald Cut – Understated elegance with a hall-of-mirrors effect, perfect for those who appreciate clean, architectural lines.

• Princess Cut – A modern square shape with sharp angles and dynamic brilliance.

• Pear & Marquise – Unique and striking, these elongated shapes create an illusion of greater size while exuding individuality.

Selecting the Perfect Setting: Balancing Elegance and Practicality

The setting is what holds the diamond in place, enhancing its brilliance while ensuring durability and security. It also plays a crucial role in defining the overall aesthetic of the ring.

• Solitaire – A timeless choice that showcases the beauty of a single diamond in an elegant, refined setting.

• Halo – A circle of smaller diamonds surrounding the center stone, adding brilliance and enhancing the overall appearance of size.

• Three-Stone – A deeply meaningful design representing the past, present, and future of your relationship.

• Pavé – A band encrusted with smaller diamonds, adding extra sparkle and a touch of glamour.

• Bezel – A modern and protective setting where the metal encases the diamond for a sleek, secure look.

Tip: If your lifestyle involves frequent hands-on activities, settings like bezel or lower-set prong styles may offer added security for your diamond.

Choosing the Right Metal: A Matter of Tradition and Preference

The metal of your engagement ring contributes to its durability, hue, and compatibility with other jewelry.

• Yellow Gold – A classic choice with warm tones that exude tradition and timeless appeal.

• White Gold – A sleek, sophisticated option that enhances the brilliance of diamonds.

• Rose Gold – A romantic and unique alternative with soft pink hues.

• Platinum – A naturally white and highly durable metal known for its luxurious feel and longevity.

How Big Should Your Diamond Be? Finding the Right Carat Size

Carat weight determines the size and presence of a diamond, but it is not the only factor that matters—cut, shape, and setting all influence how large a diamond appears.

• Under 1.00 Carat – A refined, understated choice that focuses on quality and design.

• 1.00 – 1.50 Carats – The most popular range, balancing size with exceptional brilliance.

• 1.50+ Carats – A bold and striking statement that stands out on any hand.

For maximum visual impact, elongated shapes like oval, marquise, and pear-cut diamonds appear larger than round diamonds of the same carat weight.
