An engagement ring is more than jewellery. It is a reflection of your partner’s personality, taste, and the love you share. With so many design options, it can feel daunting to know where to start. The key is finding a style that feels true to them.
Classic and Traditional
Timeless and elegant, these rings never go out of fashion.

-
Three-stone Engagement Rings: A centre diamond flanked by two smaller stones, symbolising past, present, and future.
Best for those who love understated elegance and timeless beauty.
Minimalist and Simple
Modern and refined, minimalist designs focus on clean lines and subtle detail.

-
Mixed metals: Combining rose, white, or yellow gold for contrast.
Best for those with a bold and fashion-forward sense of style.
How to Choose the Right Style
When deciding on a style, think about:
-
Everyday jewellery: Do they wear delicate pieces or bold statement items?
-
Lifestyle: If they are active or work with their hands, a low-profile setting may be more practical.
-
Personality: Classic, adventurous, romantic, or minimalist. Their personality is the best guide.
