So, to make the creation process even simpler here is a quick explanation of some of the design options that are available to you today in Long Jewelers' Virginia Beach showroom:
Option #1: Bridal Jewelry Style
One of the most important choices that you have to make in the custom design process is what overall style you'd prefer your engagement ring or wedding band to be.
Popular Engagement Ring and Wedding Band Styles:
- Solitaire Ring Setting: Subtle and sophisticated, solitaire engagement rings feature a single brilliant center diamond.
- Three Stone Rings: Made with not one, but three center diamonds, three stone style engagement rings that are a wonderful way to celebrate a couple's shared "past, present, and future."
- Halo Style Rings: One of the most requested engagement ring styles, halo rings are known for boasting a gleaming center diamond that is surrounded by a circle of smaller diamonds accentuating it.
- Sidestone Rings: An option for all bridal jewelry pieces, sidestone rings are made with diamonds set either part way, or all the way, around the band of the ring.
- Pave, Bezel, and Channel Set Rings: In addition to sidestone settings, rings that feature pave, bezel, and channel settings are another wonderful way to integrate diamonds into any bridal jewelry design.
Option #2: Center Diamond Shape
Another important detail to decide in the custom design process is what shape your engagement ring's center diamond (or diamonds) will be. Luckily, available now at Long Jewelers is an unparalleled selection of GIA-certified loose diamonds that are sure to please.
Popular Diamond Shapes:
- Round Cut: Because of their straightforward circular shape and their unbeatable brilliance and fire, round cut diamonds are the most "brilliant" and popular choice among modern brides-to-be.
- Princess Cut: Simple, versatile, and elegant, princess cut diamonds feature a stunning pyramid shape that looks amazing when placed in nearly any ring style or setting.
- Emerald Cut: Perfect for brides with a love of all things vintage, emerald shape diamonds bring an aura of timeless sophistication and look especially charming when placed in three stone or side stone settings.
- Cushion Cut: Known for their distinct pillow-like shape, cushion shape diamonds have been making a comeback because of their clean lines and bold shape.
- Pear Cut: Also known as a "tear-drop cut", pear shape diamonds are especially fetching when they are set in a simple solitaire engagement ring.
- Other Popular Diamond Cuts Include:
o Asscher Cut
o Heart Cut
o Oval Cut
Option #3: Precious Metal
Last but not least, another important choice to make is what precious metal you would like your wedding band or engagement ring to be made with.
While traditionally bridal jewelry has been made of yellow gold, white gold, romantic rose gold or platinum, but in the past few decades, it has become more and more common for ring-seekers to opt for bold "alternative metals" that included titanium, tungsten, palladium, cobalt, and other unique options. The alternative metals are best suited to men's wedding bands.
