Choosing your ideal unique engagement ring

Why Choose a Unique Engagement Ring?

Here's why a unique engagement ring is so important for not only your proposal, but especially as a symbol of your love and your own personal relationship. A unique engagement ring:

  • Makes your proposal quite different. It says you’ve put thought into their design taste, shape of center diamond, and metal preference. It expresses your love.
  • Is designed or selected with their tastes and lifestyle in mind. They don’t follow the current style - they are your style. 
  • Doesn’t become “dated” when popular engagement ring styles change.
  • Aren’t like her friends! For many, it’s very important not to have the same style ring as their friends.
  • Allows you to design what looks best for their finger size and shape. What’s trending may not be the best option.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are quick answers to the most frequently asked questions about unique engagement rings. For personal help from one of our family’s engagement ring experts, please contact us.

  • The most loved shape, by far, is a round diamond. But your choice will depend on your taste, your partner’s taste, the design of the ring, and their finger shape. Here’s more on selecting the perfect diamond shape for you.

If they haven’t expressed a preference, then consider:

  • The size of the center diamond versus their finger size. A single smaller diamond on a larger finger size doesn’t look as good as a ring with side diamonds.
  • Do they like a lot of sparkle? Most people prefer diamonds on the band.
  • Consider the wedding band. Many wedding bands look better when the engagement ring has diamonds on the band.

If you want to be sure, consider our Forever Yes ring. After you propose, you get a free ring exchange, so it’s safe and risk free!

If you’re unsure of their metal preference, consider their skin tone:

  • Light skinned and tan easily - white or yellow gold
  • Light skinned, pink undertones, and sunburns easily - white or rose gold
  • Medium to dark skin - any color! But best is white or yellow gold

To be safe, give her our risk free Forever Yes ring. After you propose, you can exchange the ring for any other ring, free!

It’s virtually impossible to get her ring size before you propose without spoiling the surprise. Plus, ring sizes are very specific. At Fox Fine Jewelry, we size not just to the ½ or ¼ size, but to the ⅛ size! 

The vast majority of people propose with an engagement ring in a standard (stock) size, and then have it sized afterwards. It’s far safer than trying to find out their ring size!

The top half of their finger is the visible area of their engagement ring. Generally speaking: 

  • If you’re getting a solitaire (a single diamond) or a three stone ring (a single diamond flanked by two smaller diamonds), the size should be somewhat relative to their finger size.
  • If you’re getting an engagement ring with diamonds on the band, it will compliment most people’s fingers. If their fingers are very small or large, you’ll need a smaller or larger design. Most engagement ring styles can be modified before its manufactured for this.

In summary, for average sized fingers, most engagement rings will look perfect. For small or large sized fingers, please contact us for more advice.
