At Brufords, we understand that choosing an engagement ring can be overwhelming, and know how important it is that you find a ring that reflects not only your love story, but also your partner’s personal style. Whether you’re drawn to classic, modern, or completely unique designs, we are here to help you find your perfect match.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through our most popular engagement ring styles, and what makes each design truly special.
Solitaire
Timeless and elegant, solitaire engagement rings remain one of the most popular styles. Featuring a single diamond or gemstone set on a simple band, the solitaire design allows the stone’s cut and brilliance to take centre stage. Whether you choose a classic round brilliant, modern princess cut, or elegant oval, solitaire engagement rings complement every hand and pair seamlessly with almost any wedding ring style.
Halo
Designed to catch light from every angle, halo engagement rings add an extra touch of glamour and brilliance. Showcasing a frame of smaller diamonds which encircles the centre stone, making it appear larger and more radiant, the halo style not only amplifies sparkle but also brings a vintage-inspired charm or modern elegance, depending on the choice of diamond cut.
Three Stone
Rich in symbolism, three stone engagement rings represent a couple’s past, present, and future. Featuring a prominent centre stone flanked by two (often smaller) side stones, the three stone design offers brilliance and depth, and can allow for a more personalised design, using either diamond or contrasting coloured gemstones.
Diamond Shoulders
For those who love even more sparkle, engagement rings with diamond-set shoulders are the perfect choice. This elegant style features small diamonds set along the band, which accentuates the brilliance of the centre stone. Further complementing the solitaire, halo, and three stone styles, engagement rings with diamond-set shoulders offer an eye-catching aesthetic, that is both timeless and contemporary.
Coloured Gemstone
Celebrate individuality and style with an engagement ring that features a vibrant coloured gemstones as its centrepiece. From deep blue sapphire and vivid green emeralds, to romantic rubies and delicate morganites, coloured stones bring a unique personality to your ring. Often complemented by diamond accents or halos, these engagement rings blend classic craftsmanship with a fresh, contemporary twist.
