It Sparkles: The Engagement Edition

Christmas has passed, a new year is upon us and love is in the air. People often make the new year a time for deciding upon big changes, whether it be career-wise, health-wise, or deciding upon making that special person in your life a permanent part. If you are considering engagement (Valentine’s is on its way!) and don’t know where to start, let the friendly staff at Engstrom Jewelers help you out!

So you’ve made the decision. She’s the one! Now to put a ring on that finger. For the bride who loves the vintage look, I suggest this 14k white gold ring, featuring emerald cut, trapezoid, and round diamonds from MK Diamonds. This beautiful piece retails at $2,995.

For the more classic bride, try this 18k white gold semi-mount with 1.13 total diamond weight. This mounting spices up the classic solitaire with a line of diamonds that surround the band. Perfect for a 1 ct center, the mounting retails at $2,300.

In love with a lady with sophisticated tastes? Check out this 18k white gold mounting from MK Diamonds, featuring .78 ct total weight in diamonds just on the mounting. Ornate details give a vintage feel with lots of sparkle to catch light at any angle. This mounting retails for $2,595 or as shown with the center 2.06 ct Asscher cut diamond, $16,500.

Again for a classic look with a twist, take a look at this Barkev’s 14k white gold mounting. This ring amps up the solitaire look by incorporating a total of .24 ct diamonds set in the band, gently curving towards the center mounting, perfect for a 1 ct center diamond. This look retails for $2,150.

While the engagement comes first, it’s never too soon to be thinking about wedding band choices. While the classic plain band is an elegant look, at Engstrom Jewelers there are several alternatives for the guy seeking an out-of-the-ordinary look.

Many men are seeking to metals other the standard gold for their rings. More durable and rugged, tungsten and titanium offer strength but still maintain a polished look. This tungsten band stands apart from plain bands through the design etched in the metal, a simple way to make a statement. Or take a look at the titanium band, accented with sterling silver and diamonds, for the gentleman who also would like a diamond on his ring finger. Starting at just $125, looking good is affordable!

If none of these looks strikes your fancy, be sure to stop in at Engstrom Jewelers for a much broader selection of rings and other fine jewelry. The staff will work with you to ensure your piece is perfect and will make a memory of a lifetime!
