The Engagement Ring Guide: Styles, Diamonds & Inspiration
An engagement ring is the ring given during a proposal, to be worn daily from that moment on. At Aurore Jewelry, we combine timeless and modern designs, crafted with an eye for sustainability and quality.
In this guide, you'll discover the different diamond shapes, settings, and styles, learn how to best combine an engagement ring and wedding band, and read about the difference between classic and modern designs.
Diamond shapes: round, oval, pear, and emerald
The shape of a diamond, also known as its cut, determines the appearance of an engagement ring. The four most popular cuts are round, oval, pear, and emerald.
Round: A classic, symmetrical cut that reflects a lot of light for maximum brilliance.
Oval: An elongated, elegant cut that makes the diamond appear optically larger.
Pear: A teardrop-shaped cut, rounded on one side and pointed on the other.
Emerald: A rectangular cut with cut corners and wide, clear facets that emphasize the clarity of the diamond.

Combining engagement and wedding rings
A wedding set consists of an engagement ring and a wedding band that are worn together daily. The engagement ring symbolizes the proposal and the promise to marry, while the wedding band symbolizes the marriage and the bond.
When combining both rings, three elements are important: the color of the gold, the shape of the diamond, and how the rings sit next to each other on the finger. For example, a round or oval diamond combines well with a straight wedding band, while a pear or marquise diamond often fits better with a wedding band that falls around the stone in a V-shape.

Classic and modern settings
The setting of an engagement ring not only determines how the diamond is held but also the ring's character. A refined setting gives a classic, romantic look, while a sleek setting creates a modern, minimalist appeal.
A halo setting consists of a circle of smaller diamonds around the center stone, making the main stone appear larger and adding extra sparkle. This setting suits a timeless, classic engagement ring, as seen with our Emma ring.
A bezel setting completely encircles the diamond with a rim of gold, giving the ring a sleek and contemporary look. This setting is an example of a modern style, such as our Charlie ring.

Engagement Rings Guide
An engagement ring is given during the proposal and later combined with a wedding band to form a bridal set. At Aurore Jewelry, we design engagement rings with lab-grown diamonds and 18-carat recycled gold.
The collection consists of three main styles: solitaire engagement rings with a single diamond for a timeless look, halo rings with a center stone surrounded by smaller diamonds for extra sparkle, and three-stone designs, symbolizing past, present, and future. The diamond shape, such as round, oval, pear, or emerald, determines the ring's silhouette. See the different diamond shapes above for an overview.
Those who wear an engagement ring and wedding band together often choose the same gold color and a matching style, so that both rings visually form a cohesive whole. View the complete engagement ring collection and find the ring that suits your story.
