What are the pros of a statement engagement ring?
A statement engagement ring is just what its name implies – an engagement ring that makes a statement! Here’s our favourite reasons for choosing one.
- A statement engagement ring doesn’t have to be a ‘typical’ engagement ring – you can choose any ring you like. This means your options are limitless, and you’re not tied to one category of ring.
- Because a statement ring can be any design you like, you can choose a piece that works with your fashion sense, and style. If you have a unique dress sense, a statement ring can be a great choice.
- A statement ring is a real showstopper – if you have a bold personality, a statement ring can be a great extension of this.
What are the cons of a statement engagement ring?
There aren’t many cons of choosing a statement engagement ring, but there are a few things to consider.
- Because you can choose any ring you like, it’s important that you still factor in things like your metal choice, and stone hardness, when making your decisions. Invest in a high-quality piece with a precious metal that is suitable for daily wear. Also consider the stone you choose – as you wear your engagement ring every day, it needs to be hard enough on the Mohs scale to take every day wear and tear.
- You might feel that a statement ring isn’t ‘traditional’ enough to be an engagement ring, and want to opt for something more classic.
- Statement rings may ‘age’ worse than timeless designs – if you opt for something very modern and trendy, you may regret it in a few years’ time if it becomes out of fashion.
- Consider the intricacy of your statement ring’s design – the more nooks, crannies and grooves on your ring, the more places dust and dirt can become trapped.
