If you are a guy who is planning to pop the question soon, and has no idea what kind of ring to get her, we get it. Being proposed to with a ring you don't like might not be grounds for saying no, but it isn't too far put away from it either. Just kidding! (Maybe not). Finding the perfect ring can be overwhelming. If sneakily going through her Pinterest boards and asking her girlfriends about the kind of ring she would like has not proven to be very useful.
Our Top Picks For Engagement Ring Styles
Here are our top picks for engagement rings that are hard to go wrong with.
Oval-cut
Elongated diamond engagement ring styles are having a major moment. And our favourite? The oval cut! They're like round-cut diamonds, but more elevated. They're simple, classic, and super elegant. And not to forget, timeless—one of those styles that you don’t have to worry about aging well. Unlike round-cut diamond rings, this shape gives an illusion of elongated fingers, which is super flattering on everyone.

Toi Et Moi
This is a beautiful kind of ring to get if you are looking for something classic yet unique. Toi Et Moi translates to “You and Me” in French. This style of engagement ring featured two gemstones nestled together, which symbolises the union of the two souls. Not only does this ring have a poetic and romantic meaning behind it, but is also beautiful. Not to forget, since it includes two gemstones, you can have fun with the pairings of the gemstones: marquise cut and cushion cut, round cut and princess cut, pearl and diamond, emerald and diamond…the options are endless!

Elongated cushion-cut
Beautiful and timeless, elongated cushion-cut is another style to consider getting if you want to opt for a longer diamond. If you want something softer than emerald-cut, and something more elevated than round-cut, this is the way to go.

Signet-style rings/Bombé rings
If you would like to take the road less taken, we suggest signet or Bombé engagement rings. While signet rings and Bombé rings might not be such an unconventional or avant-garde style for casual wear, it is a rather niche kind of style for engagement rings, and women who get these engagement rings are few and far between. These rings come with a thick band which is very different from the usual elegant and dainty bands that most rings have. If you’re someone who would like to get an engagement ring with a chunkier band as opposed to a skinny band, this is the way to go. As long as you’re getting it in classic colours, they’re also super versatile.
