Engagement

Engagements take to place an extraordinary time for a couple. They make a promise to each other to wed, reciprocating the love they have created over time. More often than not, this involves the purchase or sharing of a ring to symbolize their commitment to each other. But not all couples have the level of income they desire in making the purchase of an engagement ring. However, there precious are attractive alternatives to a genuine ring with expensive gemstones and precious metals.

Instead of purchasing a ring with an enormous diamond, some couples opt for an engagement ring with a hardy gold band and setting (10K – 14K) with cubic zirconia for the center stone and accent stones. Other gems can be used as well, adding color and more meaning to the ring. For example, rubies, jade, or onyx can be used. This adds value to the ring while personalizing it for the couple. 

A colorful cluster setting can be used to accent a larger center stone of cubic zirconia or another gemstone for a unique design.

In addition to pure gemstones, polished glass gems are periodically used. If the engagement ring is purely for symbolism rather than monetary value, the variety of colors available gives a vast choice in color and design that is limited only by the imagination. 

Birthstone colors for the couple can be arranged in a circular design symbolizing their never-ending love and the combination of their birth attributes. Not only will the engagement ring shine with beauty, but the gems and choice of metals for the band and setting will last for many years to come, even with daily wear.

Yet another option is to design and purchase an engagement ring made of all metal. Perhaps a design of platinum woven with gold can be used, sporting a symbol for something that the couple believes in. The Love Knot is a common symbol used in metal engagement rings. 

There are many others, including Yin and Yang and Linked Circles. Other designs, such as family insignias and designs that show meaning such as clouds, trees, and initials are also popular.
