Select the Perfect Rock and Ring Style for Your Hands & Fingers
by James P. Outreach & PR ExecutiveHow would you
describe your hands and fingers… petite and slender or long and wide? When
it comes to our clothing choices, we can seek to tailor our wardrobe style to
suit our individual body shapes. Engagement rings are no different, a ring
style that works well for your individual hands and fingers, may not complement
someone else's.
Like with body
shapes and clothing, hand and fingers are no different when it comes to
engagement rings. A ring style that works well for your individual hands and
fingers, may not complement another’s. So, to narrow down your search and get
closer to finding the perfect ring, start with a closer inspection of the hands
and fingers you’re buying for.
Whether you’re
choosing an engagement ring with your partner or, there’s a surprise element
involved and you’re selecting for another, you can seek some digital buying support
from Angelic Diamonds' interactive engagement ring calculator. The good news is, it can all be done at home and there’s
no need to visit a store in person.
After completing
a series of short questions via Angelic Diamonds’ quiz, you’ll be offered a ring
recommendation, covering: shape, diamond & clarity, band colour and setting
type. It really is very straightforward and can help you take the first exciting
leap in finding some initial ring style possibilities. Take your time, some
things in life aren’t worth rushing and an engagement ring is one of them.
Here’s a flavour of how the engagement ring calculator works.
How do I choose an engagement ring for long and
wide fingers?
If your partner has this type of hands, then you have an
abundance of shapes and styles to ponder over. From princess diamond rings to round
to Asscher, all these variations of rings best suit those with long and wide
fingers.
What engagement ring shape is best suited for
small and slender fingers?
There are numerous different shapes that complement small
and slender fingers from our intricate range of engagement rings. For a simple
yet elegant look, round diamond rings and oval diamond shapes capture this perfectly. If
you prefer an engagement ring that has a commanding and sharp structure,
emerald or cushion-shaped rings reflect this.
How about an engagement ring for average-sized
hands?
If your
partner’s hands don’t really fit into any of these categories or are somewhere
in between, there are many engagement ring shapes that can be crafted together
to match this. Heart-shaped is an adorable and elegant shape that goes well
with these types of hands. Not only that, but pear, cushion, and round-shaped
offer a diverse selection of shapes to flatter their finger perfectly.
What else is there to think about?
After
establishing what shape suits their hand best, you’ve got all the other aspects
of an engagement ring to choose from. Then it is left for us to select the
ultimate engagement ring to present your partner with.
What clarity of diamond should I choose?
When it comes
to the clarity of the diamond, this is all based on their personal jewellery
preferences. For those that opt for a subtle and discreet jewellery piece, a
0.30/VS1 clarity sized engagement ring will satisfy exactly that. On the other
hand, for a big and bold look that screams luxury and expense, a 2.00/VVS2
clarity size is ideal. For a more classical ring that ‘looks the part’ for the
perfect proposal gift, a 1.00/VS2 clarity size reflects this perfectly.
What cut of diamond looks the biggest?
Whether you
prefer a subtle or a bold look to your jewellery pieces, one thing we all have
in common is wanting our jewels to look as luxurious and expensive as possible.
When it comes to achieving this, how big the diamond in the centre of the
engagement ring looks plays the biggest part.
Round cut
diamonds are one of the most popular engagement rings to opt for. Despite being
cut into a shallower structure than other rings, the 58 diamond facets they
include are designed to reflect the light and make the sparkle more intense. It
is the sparkle of the diamond that makes it appear bigger than what it is.
As for marquise diamond rings, they have a thinner and more elongated shape. Its long
shape gives the illusion that the diamond is bigger than what it is. Although
typically crafted together with a solitaire setting, you could opt to add extra
accent stones to enhance how sparkly it is too.
For those that
want their engagement ring to hold the biggest diamond centre piece, halo cut
rings will satisfy exactly that. Creating a ring – or ‘halo’ – of smaller
diamonds around one central stone will create a striking setting that
exaggerates the size the centre stone. To highlight how sparkling the ring
appears, opting for a white gold or platinum metal will reflect light from the
diamonds even further.
The average
carat size of an engagement ring crafted in the UK is between 0.5 and 1 carats.
However, choosing a carat size that you can afford should be the ultimate
determinant.
What metal should an engagement ring be?
Although many
are quick to assume that traditionality is key when it comes to engagement
rings, this isn’t true. Don’t let tradition restrict your engagement ring
decisions! For a rather unusual and unique ring, rose gold is perfect. For a
chic and more stylish colour, platinum and palladium metals dazzle with
extravagance and sophistication.
What is the latest style in engagement rings?
Whether it be clothing, interior décor, or jewellery
pieces, everyone’s style is unique in some way. With this said, it is important
to consider your partner’s style preferences when picking the ultimate
engagement ring. If they prefer a more elegant and graceful look, then
three-stone, shoulder, or bezel rings are styles they will adore. On the other
hand, if they prefer the more dazzling side to things, halo, vintage, or
cluster style rings embed elements of bling and confidence. For those that opt
for subtlety and delicacy, a solitaire engagement ring or a tension style ring will fulfil their style
preferences the best.
How much should I spend on an engagement ring?
Although the
average amount of money spent on an engagement ring in the UK stands at £1,483,
there is no definitive answer to exactly how much you should spend on an
engagement ring. This should mostly be determined by your budget and how much
you can afford.
