Day's Jewelers offers a wide range of engagement ring styles to help you find the perfect fit for your partner.
The cut of a diamond greatly influences the ring’s appearance and sparkle. Here are some popular cuts to consider when selecting your engagement ring:
The cushion cut, often described as a cross between the old mine cut and a modern oval, is known for its pillow-like shape and soft, rounded corners. This cut offers a vintage charm and a romantic, timeless look that remains a favorite. View our collection of cushion cut engagement rings for a classic and elegant choice.
The princess cut is a highly popular choice for modern engagement rings. With its square shape and brilliant sparkle, it maximizes the diamond’s brilliance and can make the stone appear larger. If you’re looking for a chic, contemporary design, browse our selection of princess cut rings.
Emerald cuts are known for their elegance and sophisticated look. Featuring rectangular facets, this cut highlights the diamond’s clarity and offers a “hall of mirrors” effect. It’s perfect for those who prefer sleek, understated designs. Shop our emerald cut engagement rings for a refined, timeless style.
The round cut is the most traditional and popular choice for engagement rings. Its symmetrical shape and 58 facets provide exceptional brilliance, making it an ideal option for those who want maximum sparkle. Check out our wide selection of round cut engagement rings to find the perfect balance of beauty and brilliance.
When choosing the band, gold and platinum are the two most common options. Each material has its own set of benefits.
Gold is a classic choice for engagement rings and comes in several varieties: yellow, white, and rose gold. Yellow gold offers a warm, traditional look, while white gold is modern and versatile. Rose gold, with its romantic pink hue, is especially trendy. Browse our full range of gold engagement rings for various options in yellow, white, and rose gold.
Platinum is a durable and luxurious metal. Its natural white hue enhances the diamond’s sparkle, and it won’t tarnish over time. Additionally, platinum is hypoallergenic, making it an excellent choice for those with sensitive skin. Shop our collection of platinum engagement rings for a timeless, high-quality option.
When selecting an engagement ring, it’s important to consider your partner’s unique style. Do they prefer classic, vintage designs, or are they drawn to modern, minimalist looks? At Day’s Jewelers, we offer a variety of engagement ring styles, ensuring you’ll find one that suits your partner’s preferences perfectly.
The setting of the ring can significantly enhance its appearance and hold personal meaning. Consider settings that incorporate symbolic elements, such as a halo of smaller diamonds for extra sparkle or a custom engraving inside the band. Browse our engagement ring settings for inspiration.
Finding a reputable jeweler ensures you receive a high-quality, authentic engagement ring. Look for a jeweler with a solid reputation, such as Day's Jewelers, known for our exceptional service, craftsmanship, and commitment to customer satisfaction.
When shopping for an engagement ring, decide whether you’d prefer to shop in-store or online. In-store shopping allows you to see and try on rings in person, while online shopping offers the convenience of browsing from home. Visit us in-store or shop our online collection to find your perfect ring.
Before you start shopping, setting a budget is essential. The cost of an engagement ring is not only determined by the size of the diamond but also by the quality of the cut, clarity, and setting. Day’s Jewelers offers a range of rings to suit different budgets without compromising on quality.
Choosing an engagement ring is a meaningful and exciting journey. By understanding popular styles, cuts, and materials, and considering your partner’s unique preferences, you can select a ring that truly symbolizes your love and commitment. Remember, the most important part of an engagement ring is the sentiment behind it.
