Burnished Engagement Rings

To select the right setting for your engagement ring, consider the following factors

• Budget: The metal chosen will be the main factor in ring setting price. 14k gold is the most affordable option followed by 18k, and platinum as the premium. Band width, from thin and dainty to wide, also impacts the price.

• Durability: Opt for a long-lasting metal choice, with platinum ranking as the most durable, followed by 14k-18k gold. Moreover, align your setting style with your lifestyle. If you're active, prioritize secure settings like bezel or channel options, while those seeking a touch of glamour should explore pavé or halo settings for added sparkle.

• Diamond Shape: We offer all of the classic diamond shapes in all of our ring settings, however square or round diamonds compliment prong settings, and elongated shapes like radiants and emeralds suit bezel or burnished settings beautifully.
  
• Personality & Style: Your engagement ring setting should reflect your personal style and preferences! If you prefer tons of sparkle, a halo or pavé setting is recommended, or if you are seeking a more traditional look we suggest our thin and simple or signature cathedral settings.

The amount you should spend on an engagement ring depends on your personal financial situation and your partner's expectations. There's a traditional guideline of spending two months' salary, but it's more important to choose a ring that fits your budget and meets your partner's preferences without causing financial strain. Prioritizing these aspects ensures a meaningful and responsible decision.
