For many people, a wedding ring is the most expensive piece of jewelry they\u2019ll ever own. It\u2019s also one they\u2019ll wear daily, so it\u2019s important to get right! It\u2019s no wonder that it\u2019s become more common to choose your own ring style rather than leaving it up to your partner to decide. While some couples may still go the traditional route, increasingly the ring-wearers are playing an active role in the selection process.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before you decide on where you\u2019ll make the big purchase, how much you\u2019ll spend, or whether you want a vintage ring, take some time to understand the different styles and designs available. Once you have a sense of what best fits your personality and lifestyle, you can begin shopping. Some local engagement ring and jewelry stores in <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Baton Rouge<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> include <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zales.com\/bridal-homepage\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zales<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kay.com\/engagement\/c\/9000000001?cid=SEM-goo-engagement+rings+kay-E-Commerce+-+Brand+-+Bridal+-+Engagement+Rings+-+Exact&amp;gclsrc=aw.ds&amp;&amp;&amp;gclid=Cj0KCQiA0ZHwBRCRARIsAK0Tr-qmvvohJuVyw3uGoyyfrmmWmcvyhewE9wDBbYzykHuHFiE6X1bBlagaAlahEALw_wcB\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kay<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jared.com\/engagement-and-wedding\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jared<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. First, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">we have aspects to review before making a choice on something you\u2019ll be wearing for the rest of your life!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>Know the Ring Cuts<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As you begin window shopping for the perfect ring, start by comparing the different gemstone cuts that show up most frequently for engagement rings. Emerald, oval, heart, pear, cushion, marquise, round \u2013 the options may seem overwhelming at first! Ultimately, though, the choice comes down to aesthetic preferences. Don\u2019t get caught too caught up in classifications when first browsing. Instead, pay attention to how a particular shape makes you feel. If you find yourself gravitating to one shape over another, consider why it appeals to you. Finding a shape that speaks to you can help you narrow the field of options.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The most popular cut, round, has the most sparkle and is easiest to find in jewelry shops in <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Baton Rouge<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Princess-cut stones are also popular, especially when placed in a round or geometric setting. Marquise and pear-shaped stones can help fingers look longer and leaner. Cushion cuts are ideal for a vintage look, whereas emerald and asscher-cut rings offer a more elegant, sophisticated aesthetic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>Tradition \u2013 With a Twist<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While diamonds have been the go-to gemstone for engagement rings for decades, they weren\u2019t always the favorite option. In the Victorian era, sapphires were in vogue for young engaged couples, leading to the proliferation of sapphire engagement rings currently available in the vintage market. The ancient Romans believed the opal was the most powerful stone of all and used them frequently in engagement rings, armor, and even weapons.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have your heart set on a diamond, none of these stones may interest you. They\u2019ve been incredibly popular since their discovery in India more than 6,000 years ago for good reason! Many modern brides and grooms, though, are rethinking the traditional choice and opting for other precious gems instead. Whether the history, symbolism, color, or degree of sparkle matters most to you, be sure to choose one that reflects your taste, not the trends. After all, you\u2019re the one who will see your ring each day!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you decide to opt for an unconventional engagement ring, do your homework before buying. Some stones, while beautiful, are incredibly fragile. You\u2019ll want to choose something that can hold up to daily life. Pearls, amethysts, and moonstones, for instance, may scratch when you\u2019re washing dishes or closing a car door. There\u2019s a reason why diamonds have persisted as the most popular choice through the decades: they\u2019re the hardest precious gemstone around.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>The Right Ring for Your Lifestyle<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finding the perfect ring isn\u2019t so different from finding your soulmate. While an initial attraction can be a good sign, it\u2019s worth considering how your ring will fit into your lifestyle. Those who do a lot of work with their hands, for instance, may not want a large stone catching on the materials they\u2019re handling. By staying mindful of the pros and cons of a particular style, you\u2019ll be sure to find the ideal engagement ring for your lifestyle.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shopping for engagement rings can be thrilling. It\u2019s the first step in an exciting series of events that will ultimately lead to your happily ever after!
