What type of diamond ring best fits my summer proposal?

How can I choose summer without colour?

Firstly, make sure your fiancée loves colour in her jewellery before you decide on a hued engagement ring. She will wear it for the rest of her life, so you need to make sure she loves it. Does she dislike coloured gems or metals? Not to worry, there are plenty of other ways to give her ring that soft summer feel. Start by finding out what types of motif she likes. Does she love diamond rings and other jewellery with an outspoken natural feel or would she rather have something very subtle? A diamond ring or gem with floral or faunal motifs might be just the thing.

For a subtler ring, you can easily pick something that represents the soft feel of summer without going overboard, such as an elegant diamond ring with a twist.

What if she likes colour for an engagement ring?

When she does like a pop of colour in her jewellery collection, make sure to find out what type. You can choose monochrome coloured rings like a yellow gold ring with yellow diamonds, but a sapphire and diamond halo is just as tasteful. You can even choose different types of gem on the same diamond ring but be sure to make it a timeless choice. A multi-coloured ring such as our coloured diamond butterfly ring is best left as a beautiful gift, not a timeless engagement ring.

Remember to check if she prefers colour in the precious metal or in the sparkling gems. Coloured metal gives a subtler hint of colour, while most coloured gems make more of a bold statement.

What if I am not sure if she likes colour?

Colour for an engagement ring is a bold choice. You might want her to remember her summer proposal and beautiful diamond ring for the rest of her life, but you want it to be for the right reasons. If she is not fond of coloured jewellery or you are not sure of her preference, stick to the more traditional kind. But that does not mean that summer cannot be reflected in your perfect ring. Does she prefer something subtler? Then look for a ring with soft curves and playful elegance that reflects the feeling of summertime. Or maybe she would prefer a floral theme in a modern style?
