Choosing a perfect engagement ring is a big commitment. Ok, maybe not as big as the one it represents, but you get it. It’s something that you’ll likely wear every day for the rest of your life, so you want to be 100% sure that you love the style. So, let’s take a look at some of the most popular designs from one of our favorite jewelers, Diamond Wish, and see which one speaks to your personal style.

Anchor Text Design Your Own Engagement Rings

Unlike most of the diamond retailers that you'll find online, every piece of jewelry that Diamond Wish creates, is made to order, just for you. Each diamond and gemstone is hand-selected by their trained gemologists, then set by hand by their team of expert jewelers, all in their downtown LA headquarters.

for the classic girl

Let’s start with one of the most timeless diamond engagement ring styles, the three stone design. This style is as symbolic as it is stylish, with each stone representing your past, present, and future. Diamond Wish has so many interesting options. You can opt for three stones with the same cut and differing sizes or go with something completely original and frame the center stone with something unexpected, we’re partial to the trillion-cut at the moment.

for the minimalist girl

The minimalist trend is still going strong, and it’s easy to see why. Minimalist designs, like these solitaire rings, will never go out of style, and we love that they put the emphasis on the center stone. If you do decide on a solitaire ring, we definitely recommend going for one with a hidden halo, like these ones from Diamond Wish. That secret detail not only adds interest to the design, but a little extra sparkle, and what girl doesn’t like to sparkle 🤩?

for the vintage-loving girl

For girls who love ornate vintage designs, Diamond Wish has some beautiful pieces. These solitaire rings feature pronounced center stones in varying cuts framed by smaller delicate diamonds laid in an east-to-west configuration that gives these nature inspired rings a vintage feel.

for the girl who likes to stand out

One of our favorite parts about shopping with Diamond Wish is that your budget can stretch much further than with other diamond retailers (like 4 carats farther!). Because Diamond Wish uses lab-grown diamonds in addition to natural diamonds, they’re able to offer stunning rings like these at a much more affordable price. If you’re wondering, lab-grown diamonds are real diamonds and are chemically and visually the same as their natural counterparts. So why not go big? And while you’re at it, you may as well add a halo because…why not? With one of these unique engagement rings, everyone will know you’re engaged 😂.

for the artsy girl

Even though "diamond" is in their name, Diamond Wish also carries a wide variety of gemstone engagement rings. If you're a girl who loves color, then you'll definitely want to explore these vibrant options. Gemstone rings are usually more budget-friendly and you can get a larger center stone for a fraction of the price. We also love that gemstones each carry a significance whether it's the color itself or the month it represents, the potential hidden meanings are endless.

now let’s talk bands

We always recommend getting your engagement ring and wedding band together or at least deciding on a design. It’s important that the designs complement each other, but keep in mind that they don’t necessarily need to “match”. Your band should enhance your engagement ring. Think about your favorite part and accentuate it. For example, if you have an emerald-cut center stone for your engagement ring, consider an eternity band featuring emerald-cut diamonds all the way around. If you decided on a solitaire engagement ring with a sold white gold band, consider adding a bit more sparkle with a pave diamond wedding band.

don’t forget your wedding jewelry

First, you don’t need an occasion to buy yourself diamonds, but, in the immortal words of Lorelei Lee, “my goodness, doesn’t it help?” So, while you have a good excuse (aka: your wedding), you may as well take the opportunity to invest.

We recommend a simple pair of diamond studs in a cut that matches the center diamond in your engagement ring. If you’re wearing a dress with a plunging neckline, a necklace is a must. But, keep it simple like these ones from Diamond Wish that have one solitary diamond pendant.

Choose a diamond cut and metal to match your wedding ring set. Bracelets are also a great way to accessorize your wedding-day ensemble and they go with just about every style and silhouette. And diamond tennis bracelets like these ones also make great wedding gifts!

We know that buying jewelry can be overwhelming at times, but we hope this shopping guide helps. It's also worth mentioning that Diamond Wish offers price matching if you find something similar at a lower price and their customer service representatives are available seven days a week to help with any questions you may have.
