What do Princess Eugenie, Caitriona Balfe and Eva Longoria have in common?

All three ladies wear classic engagements rings with coloured gemstones.

Each of their engagement rings are timeless and elegant and each have a subtle modern twist. This twist is achieved by a luxurious pop of colour from coloured gemstones and we think it is simply magnificent!

Why do we love this style of engagement ring so much?

There are a few simple reasons. Selecting a classic engagement ring design that will stand the test of time makes perfect sense.  You plan to wear this ring for the rest of your life. You want it to grow and evolve with you. You want to love it forever. Choosing a timeless, classic ring design is a smart idea.

However, as much as you love a classic design, sometimes you want a bit more. You want your engagement ring to be more unique. Something you can add your own personality to. Something that will standout a little more.

This is where coloured gemstones can transform a traditional, classic design into something truly exceptional! And this is why we love them! Here are some examples of classic engagement ring designs transformed.

Or if you’re looking for something a bit less traditional but still following a classic design try adding multiple coloured gemstones and different metals/textures to spectacular effect.

Whatever approach you take, there is no denying it, coloured gemstones can truly transform and elevate classic engagement ring designs.
