Torn Between Styles: Show Off Your Engagement Rings! 💍✨
Hello, beautiful community! Today, I wanted to dive into a topic that many of us can relate to when it comes to engagement rings: the struggle of choosing the perfect style. Whether you’re currently engaged, planning to be, or simply dreaming of the future, we’d love to hear your thoughts, stories, and of course, see those stunning rings that have captured your heart!
The Dilemma of Choices
When I first started exploring engagement rings, I was utterly overwhelmed by the sheer number of styles available. From classic solitaires to intricate vintage designs, and from modern minimalism to bohemian bursts of color, each style tells a different story. It’s hard not to feel torn between what you envision versus what you’re practically drawn to.
Classic vs. Modern
One debate I find particularly fascinating is the classic vs. modern styles. On one hand, you have the timeless look of a solitaire diamond—elegant and refined. On the other, there are contemporary settings that boast unique gemstones or innovative designs. Which speaks to you more? Are you drawn to the history behind a vintage ring, or does a sleek modern style seem more appealing?
Past vs. Future Purchases
Have you ever felt torn about a purchase after the fact? I remember my friend agonizing over her ring choice. She opted for a more traditional design, but as she learned about the multitude of styles, she found herself wishing she’d dared to explore more avant-garde options. Have any of you experienced buyer’s remorse or bliss?
The Sparkle of Knowledge
Let’s talk about education! Understanding gem cuts, settings, and types of metals can transform your perspective on what you want. Did you know that the cut of your diamond can enhance its brilliance? Or that colored gemstones can add a personal touch to your ring? Share your knowledge! What’s your favorite gem or cut, and why?

All 3 of these are really well made, and you can only go with your gut and what you like. These are unfortunately, all very gorgeous rings and it’s too hard to pick just one 😂. I personally think you look AMAZING with the wavy one, but the toi et moi is also very lovely.
These are all incredibly different!
I love #1 and may even save it for a future choker necklace. (But enough about me!) If you’re hesitant about #2, you might keep the basic idea and try a smaller stone and finer band. And you might like the bezel setting better without the pave band. Just my thoughts.
I love the curvy one!! It is so unique and beautiful.
The bezel is really beautiful too and it looks so good on your hand.
I do not like tois et moi at all. I don’t think there will be a ring that ever changes my mind on that lol.
*loveee* the toi et moi
2nd and 3rd are my favourites
I think that first one is beautiful! I love how different it is.
I have a toi et moi so I’m bias lol but I also really like the bezel. The wavy one I don’t really like
I loveeee the first pair
The only one I like is the bezel ring. The important thing is that you are happy with the ring, though, not me. But if you are equally drawn to all 3, I would advise the bezel.
I don’t usually say this but that bezel steals the show! It’s timeless!
I like the wee second one there
Three will stand the test of time. The others will not in terms of style.
I’m biased towards emerald shape in a bezel. This one is stunning and looks gorgeous with the band!
3 all the way!!
I just got engaged Saturday with an east west bezel. I chose it because they are different, not very common, and very timeless.

I love my et toi moi. I have got many compliments on how unique it is. So definitely a biased opinion 🙂

Have you looked at the 4 C’s to narrow them down (color, clarity, &carat weight…forget cut) for quality of the stone?…since you’re “bougie”🙃
Also consider the height of the stone and the prongs. If you work with your hands, wash your hands often, or if you’re a little clumsy and forget you have hands be mindful of prong integrity possible breaking or snagging clothes and breaking. Also consider the band that’s going to go with it. I saw the big round one earlier today with a lady trying to find a band to go with the ring. The band she had was beautiful but didn’t look good at all since it didn’t fit snuggly with the ring. So even looking at the other rings consider your wedding band. All the styles you’ve chosen are gorgeous. I’ve seen toi et moi in bezel…maybe be on the look out for one if that’s what you and your hubby like or have one customized. Also…please DO. NOT FORGET TO GET IT APPRAISED AND INSURED ASAP (not Ina week or two after getting it…ASAP). Jewelry warranty sold at the jewelry store isn’t insurance that’s, to fix the ring (I’m over protective and would get that warranty as well, but I make dumb decisions sometimes) I think car and house insurance companies insure jewelry so be searching for that as well. Congrats and good luck in your new life!
I think the last one is the most classic and will “age” the best. They’re all gorgeous, but the first ones read too trendy and you may get sick of them. Just my opinion 🙂
3, I’m soft for bezels. I like the clean, pave-free design.
Bezel 100%! It looks so beautiful!
Number 1!! It’s stunning.
2!
3!
I love slide 3 and 6!
3 /6
It’s the second picture and third picture for me!
I love 1 it’s a little quirky and so beautiful.
The first one!
Normally not a tois et moi fan but that first ring is beautiful. Although you can never go wrong with a beautiful classic bezel setting like the last one.

I like the bezel with the diamond band. Also like the tu et moi.
Team bezel!
I really like the bezel, but the toi et moi is also gorgeous. I hate decisions!
Pretty! I’m a bezel girl all the way. Really low maintenance and not prone to snagging which I appreciate. Also think it’s a timeless look that’ll age well.
In love with the bezel!
