1. Understand Her Personal Style
Before anything else, think about what she naturally loves.
Ask yourself:
- Does she wear simple or bold jewelry?
- More modern, or more classic?
- Gold or white metals?
- Minimalist or decorated?
Her daily style is your best guide.

2. Learn the Main Ring Styles
Here are the most popular engagement ring types, in simple terms:
Solitaire – a single center diamond, very clean and timeless.
Halo – sparkling diamonds around the center stone for extra brilliance.
Three-Stone – symbolic: past, present, future.
Side-Stone/Pavé – diamonds along the band for added sparkle.
Bezel – clean metal frame around the stone, very modern.
Each style creates a completely different feeling.

The shape sets the emotional tone of the ring.

4. Consider Lifestyle
If she:
🧴 works with her hands
🏋🏻♀️ active
👩🏻⚕️ wears gloves
👩🏻🍳 in kitchens
✈️ travels often
→ choose a lower-set ring, secure prongs, smoother setting.

5. Look at Her Existing Jewelry
This tells you her natural preference.
Pay attention to:
- Metal color
- Thickness of bands
- Sparkle level
- Stone size
- How decorated the pieces are
This usually reveals her taste without guessing.

6. Think About Longevity
Trends change.
Feelings don’t.
Always ask:
Will she still love this in 20 years?
Clean, meaningful, personal tends to last.

Custom means personal.
Examples:
- Engraving inside
