8 Most Popular Engagement Rings for Holiday Proposals

8 Most Popular Engagement Rings for Holiday Proposals



Introduction Did you know that December is the most popular month for proposals in the United States? With 19% of the total proposals falling in December in 2019, it leaves February, the Valentine month, far behind with only 8% of the lot. It’s not what you thought, right? And guess what, fewer proposals are getting ‘the nod’ every year and the average spending on an engagement ring, which is $6000 at present, is on the rise. After all the shopping excitement during Black Friday & Cyber Monday, the stage is now set for this year's proposal season. A lot depends on the ring you buy for her. Here is a list of 8 most popular engagement rings for holiday proposals.

Solitaire Rings Solitaire rings are timeless classics that never go out of fashion. The word solitaire is generally associated with diamonds though it paints a rather incomplete picture. Although solitaire rings became popular due to some clever marketing campaigns in the mid 1900s, the term has gone beyond and is now used for color gemstones as well. This holiday season, a solitaire ruby ring set in classic yellow gold is what you’ll need to express your love beyond words.

Side Stone Rings A side stone ring has just the right amount of extra sparkle to enhance the visual allure of a ring. The setting usually has a color gemstone as the centerpiece which is flanked by diamonds on both sides. The channel or pave set diamonds will certainly make your ring stand out with all its color and spread its light in any social gathering. GemsNY has a huge repository of designs and one one of the largest collections of gemstones. Moreover, you can design your own sidestone ring by selecting the gems you want and the metal you love.

Two Stone Rings Two stone rings have a long and illustrious history that goes back to the time of Napoleon when he was still to conquer imperial heights. Being a soldier, Napoleon presented a two stone ring featuring a diamond and a sapphire to his heartthrob Josephine. He invested his life savings into the ring to give expression to his feelings for Josephine. Since then many variations of two stone rings have come into being. Unlike Napoleon, you don’t have to break the bank in order to express your love. GemsNY offers gemstone pairs at affordable prices ready to grace your momentous occasion.

Three Stone Rings Celebrities are often the trendsetters whether it is jewelry or anything else. One of the most famous three stone rings is the one presented to the singer and actress Jessica Simpson by her fiancé Eric Johnson on their engagement in 2010. The yellow gold ring has a ruby as the center stone which is also Jessica’s birthstone. You can reinvent the design or make your own three stone ring at GemsNY.

Halo Rings There is hardly anyone who doesn’t know about Princess Diana’s engagement ring. A royal convention was broken when the 12ct sapphire ring with a diamond halo was presented by Prince Charles to Lady Diana. Until that time there was no precedent of having a ring other than diamond, for engagement. Princess Diana’s ring became the most replicated piece of jewelry ever since. Halo can be created not just around oval center stone but also around heart-shaped or any other shape gemstone.

Antique Inspired Rings A truly antique and vintage ring generally costs a fortune. However, it’s quite practical and affordable to get an antique inspired ring for a fraction of the price. Whether the design is inspired by Victorian Era ornaments with intricate leaf motifs coupled with charms or it takes cues from the geometric patterns from the Art Deco period, you can have something unique. Browse through a wide collection of antique inspired engagement ring designs at GemsNY.

Celtic Rings Celtic rings, often called ‘faith rings’ symbolize eternal love, faith & loyalty. Conventional celtic rings have three prime elements – yellow gold, a center stone, and a clasp-like setting for the center stone. Although the designs of celtic rings have undergone quite a few changes to suit modern lifestyles, their significance has not. The history of celtic rings goes back three centuries but you don’t need to travel through time to get one for your historic moment; you can get it at GemsNY and it will be delivered to you free of charge.
