Engagement Rings for Modern Brides
It has been customary for the person who is proposed to wear the engagement ring. However, recently, some couples are opting for a change by having their partner who offered also wear an engagement ring. These rings are typically worn separately until the wedding ceremony, where they are paired with a wedding ring. An engagement ring represents an important life decision and holds great sentimental value. Some popular engagement ring styles for women include those with a prominent center stone, such as solitaire and halo rings. Today, lab-created diamond engagement rings are also growing in popularity. They are practical due to their affordability and style – two things that modern women would go for.
Buying an engagement ring can feel very, very serious. Fortunately, modern brides-to-be have a lot to choose from. From myriad stones and lab-created gems to find the perfect ring. I’m not getting married yet, although I would love to be my partner’s bride. Recently, I learned about lab-created gems as rings, and it inspired me to learn more about them and share them on my blog.
Here are my top three favorite engagement rings other than the classic diamond:
MOISSANITE ENGAGEMENT RING
Moissanite is a lab created gem with minimal environmental impact. It costs cheaper per carat than a lot of other gemstones. The Mohs Scale of Hardness gives moissanite stones a durability rating of 9.25, which qualifies them for daily use. The hardest stone, diamonds, receive a score of 10. Without the exorbitant price that can shatter someone's bank, moissanite, at 9.25, isn't that far from being the most brilliant stone.
Moissanite has a crazy amount of sparkle. Its refractive index is higher than a natural diamond's, producing more shine and a special kind of fiery rainbow brilliance. Moissanite less expensive to buy, but is a nearly flawless gemstone. It has the kind of size, clarity, and color few diamonds do.
You will love looking into this Moissanite engagement ring set that I absolutely adore.
This pear-shaped Moissanite engagement ring is vintage-themed with rose gold band and and a halo design. It's so pretty and exquisite, making it great for a modern or a traditional bride.
SAPPHIRE ENGAGEMENT RING
One of the top three gemstones used in jewelry is sapphire. Any way you choose, it is stunning, but an oval shape frequently accentuates them.
Sapphire engagement rings are timeless, regal, and magnificent; they are considered to symbolize luck, loyalty, and happiness; and they are thought to promote harmony between a couple. They give any proposal a regal air; Princess Diana is even reported to have worn one prior to her marriage to King Charles III. It is understandable why so many men would propose using the deep blue gemstone.
Those who want to make their ladies feel like a princess or a queen will love this sapphire engagement ring set that has captured many eyes.

OPAL ENGAGEMENT RING
Those who are looking for something iridescent, unique, and simply stunning, opal engagement ring is the most ideal choice.
In ancient times, opal was a very costly and uncommon gemstone. It was a precious jewel valued by royalty throughout Europe. The gem was thought to embody all the virtues of each gemstone whose color was reflected in the opal's color spectrum, which led to its reputation as a stone that could bring great luck during the Middle Ages. Considering these facts, every sophisticated and one of a kind woman will adore this
