What is the best gemstone for an engagement ring?
This ultimately depends on a number of factors, including:
- Your personal preference - You should decide on whether you’re looking for a more timeless and simplistic style or something more bold. Being able to choose the gemstone based on your personality and relationship is usually a good place to start.
- Your budget - Identifying your budget is important as it allows you to factor in the price of the gemstone, getting it set, as well as its clarity and size.
- Setting compatibility - The type of setting you choose should complement your gemstone. White metals enhance cool-toned gemstones, whereas yellow gold metals complement warmer-toned gemstones. Opting for a lower profile will also reduce catching, which is particularly useful for those who are more active.
- Durability - If you plan on wearing your engagement ring every day, it is recommended to choose a gemstone rated 7.5 or higher on the Mohs scale, as this indicates hardness.
