Safest engagement ring designs for your girl



Shopping for engagement ring designs can be tricky, especially if you are shopping by yourself, for your girl. With a plethora of designs, cuts, shapes, prices, etc. it is always difficult to tell which piece will suit the best on your girl’s finger – after all diamonds are a girl’s best friend. And some of us may get an advice to involve the opinion of a girlfriend in terms of ring designs, we may want to keep it a surprise. There have been a few styles and designs that have stood the time of changing fashion trends and we have picked some of them that your lady may be fond of.


Solitaire Ring: the Solitaire has never gone out of style as it is considered to be an iconic symbol of love and commitment. This ring is presented by a single diamond setting which is held by prongs. With the solitaire, you will have to spend some time in choosing style and setting of the ring, as the diamond itself steals the show. This designer diamond ring will best appeal to someone who has a classic taste but at the same time, believes in making a bold statement.


Trinity Ring: This ring features three diamond sets where the largest one is placed in the middle. The three diamonds symbolise the past, the exciting present and the hope for a bright future. As such, when shopping for this kind of ring, you will have to focus more on the center diamond in terms of cut, shape, size, etc. as it influences the feel of the entire ring. The best part with this one is that it remains stylish for many years to come and can be worn as a trendy accessory with any outfit.
Classic Ring: If solitaire or Trinity ring styles are not your preferences, then a ring with center and side stone can also be considered. This style has smaller studded stones with channel setting and so while shopping consider a setting that is able to hold small diamonds and the centrally placed stone in a graceful manner.

To buy engagement rings online is also a safe bet as you get to browse through and choose from a wide range of selection and there is also a fair chance of getting a good price for it as online stores save money on showroom rent. So, wait no more and buy that beautifully studded diamond ring to surprise your girl.
