Design your own Gemstone Engagement Ring

Design your own gemstone engagement ring

With a plethora of celebrities getting proposed to with a gemstone engagement ring, the once-considered alternative and cheaper option to natural diamonds is beginning another trend for the stylish.

Let’s begin with a quick history of how gemstones came about. Unlike natural diamonds which are mostly transparent in colour, gemstones are created by multiple impurities from within, becoming inclusions that give them their natural colours.

Gemstones come in different colours. The notable ones are Ruby (red), Emerald (green), Morganite (blue) and Sapphire (yellow). However, it is also common to see a combination of the gemstones stated above with other corresponding colours. This adds to its lustre, as its hardness differs in other gemstones. In the Mohs Scale, which ranks all diamonds and gemstones by its internal hardness, white diamonds are considered the hardest, followed by Sapphire and Ruby.

So, as we have delved into the history of gemstones, perhaps you’re wondering what would be its significance! This is where birthstones come in. Birthstones are gemstones that represent a specific birth month, and hold a different significance altogether. Taking Ruby as an example, it is the birthstone of July, and signifies love, good health and intelligence.

Once you’ve decided on your gemstone, it’s time to decide on your engagement ring setting to complete your gemstone engagement ring! What will be your choice for your ring setting? Does your girl like a design that is simple, or something that is eye-catching? If you’re lost for options, you can refer to Michael Trio’s Top 10 Engagement Ring, where each ring would still make your decision worthwhile!

Let’s start with a simple overview of all the classic ring settings available on Michael Trio. A classic ring setting is described as just a plain white/yellow/rose gold coating with no extravagant design around it. This would be suffice for a girl who prefers something basic and does not stand out as much. Budget-wise, this would also make the perfect ring setting to design around, as the classic setting costs less, which allows you to subsequently increase your budget for the carat of the gemstone.

Next up, we have the pave and channel ring setting. These two settings can be easily confused as both are described as mini-diamonds set in a flowing row. However, the major difference between the two is that the mini-diamonds in a pave setting are set on prongs to secure its positions, while in a channel setting, the mini-diamonds is placed close to one another and is secured within the band of the ring setting.

One common advice Michael Trio gives would be that we encourage our customers to share their gemstone engagement ring ideas with us in order to provide a better explanation.
