How To Choose a Ring

Whether you're shopping for an engagement ring, a special occasion gift, or simply treating yourself, selecting the right ring can be a difficult and overwhelming process. However, with a little bit of guidance and consideration, you can find the perfect ring that meets your needs and exceeds your expectations.

Style

Consider the style of the person you're shopping for or the occasion for which you're purchasing the ring. Do they prefer simple and understated pieces, or are they drawn to bold and statement-making jewellery? Take their style into account when choosing a ring.

Metal

Rings can be made from a variety of metals, including gold, silver, platinum, and titanium. Each metal has its unique qualities and characteristics, so it's important to consider which metal is best suited for your needs. For example, if you're looking for a ring that will withstand daily wear and tear, platinum or titanium may be the best choice.

Stone

Consider the type of stone you want in your gemstone ring. Diamonds are a popular choice, but there are many other options available, including emerald, ruby, and sapphire rings. Think about the person's favourite colour and consider a stone that reflects that hue.

Size and Fit

Ensure you select the correct size for the person you're buying the ring for. If you're not sure, consider getting their ring size measured by a jeweller. Additionally, consider the style of the ring and ensure that it will fit comfortably on the finger.

The Most Popular Ring Styles

Rings are beautiful traditional pieces with a deep history of design and style. With the ever-growing popularity of rings and engagement rings, there are many modern or classic looks to choose from. Here’s a guide on the most popular ring styles, and the meanings behind them.

Solitaire Rings

Solitaire rings are a timeless classic. They feature a single, beautifully cut diamond set in a simple gold or silver band. These rings are perfect for those who want a sophisticated and elegant look and are the most popular engagement ring design. Solitaire rings are also a perfect choice for special occasions where you want to look at stunning as possible.

Halo Rings

Halo rings are a very popular choice for those who want more sparkle and glamour in their rings. This modern style features a central diamond or precious stone surrounded by smaller gemstones in a halo shape. This creates a glittering effect that looks amazing on your finger.

The halo ring has been reimagined in many different styles, using unique stone cuts and gemstone pairings. Matching a ruby ring with a halo of small diamonds makes a simply gorgeous effect.

Signet Rings

Signet rings are a classic style of ring that has been worn for centuries. This style features a flat surface which is engraved with a unique design or symbol, making them a great choice for those who want a meaningful piece of jewellery. They are often used as a family crest or emblem and are passed down from generation to generation. Modern signet rings incorporate gemstones and minimalist designs, making them a great choice for men’s rings.

Trilogy Rings

Trilogy rings are another popular choice for those who want to make a statement. They feature three diamonds or gemstones set in a row, symbolising the past, present, and future. These rings are perfect for anniversaries or special milestones and are often given as gifts to commemorate a special occasion.

Are sterling silver rings good for everyday wear?

Yes, sterling silver holds up well for daily wear thanks to the small amount of alloy mixed in for strength, though it will naturally dull or tarnish over time with exposure to air and moisture. A quick polish now and then keeps it looking its best, our Jewellery Care guide has the full routine.

Do gold-plated rings last?

They do, but they're better suited to occasional wear rather than something you never take off, since the gold layer is thin and can gradually wear thinner with daily friction and moisture. When it does soften, professional re-plating brings the finish back, our Jewellery Care page has more on looking after plated pieces.

What is a statement ring?

A statement ring is a bold, eye catching design meant to be the focal point of your hand rather than something subtle, think larger stones, unique settings or a striking cluster of gems. It's less about matching everything else you're wearing and more about making an impact on its own.

What is an eternity ring and when do you wear one?

An eternity ring features diamonds or gemstones set continuously around the band, or across the top half for a half eternity style, symbolising a love that never ends. They're traditionally given to mark a milestone like an anniversary or the arrival of a child, though plenty of people choose one simply because they love the look. Browse our Eternity Rings collection to see the range.

Should I take my rings off before showering or swimming?

It's best to, soap, chlorine and general water exposure can dull the shine over time and are especially tough on softer stones or plated finishes. Cold water can also make your fingers shrink slightly, so there's a real risk of a ring slipping off in the pool or ocean without you noticing. Our Jewellery Care guide has more on keeping your rings looking their best day to day.
