An eye-catching engagement ring such as the oval-cut diamond ring with a large eternity band is a really great and unique choice. What’s great about this ring is that, well, it is absolutely stunning to look at. Further, it is a combination of two classic styles. We will discuss below the importance of classic style, but needless to say, this is a ring that is both classic and unlike anything else.

How to Choose an Engagement Ring

There are a few things to think about before you ever start shopping for a ring that will really help simplify the process. First and foremost, you will need to consider style. You want to choose a ring with a look you love. But it is not recommended to choose on the basis of current trends. We will have more on that below. Next, you will want to set a budget. This will save you from wasting time looking at rings that are outside of your budget. Once you have these things all sorted out, you will need to consider your lifestyle.

Are you an active person? Do you use your hands a lot for your job or hobbies? The answers to these questions can really help guide your choice. If you do live an active lifestyle and use your hands a lot, you will want to choose something pretty simple and unobtrusive. You do not want to choose something that is going to cramp your lifestyle. It is one thing if you have to remove it on occasion to keep it from getting dirty. But if you are having to remove it all the time for basic daily tasks, that can get annoying. 

Classic Styles

We really cannot overstate how great of an idea choosing a classic style for your engagement ring is. The oval-cut diamond ring with a large eternity band we feature here is a great example of this. Classic styles are, well, classic! And it is hard to beat a classic. These are styles that, for whatever reason, are able to stand the test of time and defy trends. Think about it, trends come and go. Sometimes they come and go incredibly quickly. But those classics are always in style. Just think about your engagement ring. It is going to need to stand the test of time.

The last thing you want is to choose a ring that falls out of fashion in a short period of time. You will either be stuck with an unfashionable ring. Or, you will have to make the expensive choice of choosing something different. But when you choose a classic style, this isn’t an issue. These styles don’t care about trends and current fashions. Like the little black dress, they are styles that just always look good. And, if your personal style changes over time, you have the peace of mind that the classic style of your ring will still look great. 

Basic Differences in Diamond Cuts

When we think about diamond cuts, chances are, we just think about different shapes. While this is definitely part of what separates different cuts, it isn’t the only thing. Of course, shape plays a large role in why we choose a specific cut. But fire and sparkle are also important. Sparkle is something that needs no introduction. However, the fire might need a bit more explanation. What this means in the context of diamonds is that, when exposed to light, fire presents a rainbow-like color effect in the center of the stone. There are some cuts that are meant to maximize fire, some to maximize shine. And, of course, there are cuts that offer a nice combination of the two.

These different cuts will involve a different number of facets and sometimes what are called step cuts. Facets are what allow for a lot of light refraction, and thus sparkle. Step cuts can allow you to see deeper into the stone. This is how you can see the depth, clarity, and, of course, fire, of the stone. We should note that if you choose a stone for fire, you are going to want to prioritize quality over size. These cuts will show any imperfections in a stone. 

4.02-Carat Oval-Cut Diamond

The oval-cut diamond that features in the engagement ring that is the focal point of this piece is a large and high-quality specimen. This is a flawless 4.02-carat diamond. It is large enough to catch the eye of all who see it. And since it is such a high-quality stone, it will show off a sparkle and fire that is hard to match. We know you will love showing off this stunning, high-grade stone to any and all who see it. 

Oval-cut diamonds are a great alternative to the classic round-cut diamond. It has the sparkle and brilliance of the round-cut diamond, but the distinct shape gives it some extra style. This is a great cut for pretty much any style. It looks great with vintage, modern, Art Deco, or anything in between. Since it is so versatile, you even have the peace of mind that it can evolve with your style should it change over time. 

It is a timeless shape that is always in style. It pairs well with other diamond shapes. In the case of the piece we feature here, the oval-cut diamonds are paired with larger-than-usual round-cut diamonds on the eternity band.

Large Eternity Band

While the main stone that features in this ring is a 4.02-carat oval-cut diamond, it also features another classic style as well. Many engagement rings will have a simple metal band, which is absolutely fine. But some of us like something a bit more special than a plain band. The eternity band is a popular choice for wedding bands, but you can also incorporate it into your engagement ring as well. It adds an extra layer of style and shine. Basically, an eternity band consists of gemstones (often diamonds) that are inset into the band of the ring.

Most often, you will see full, half, and two-thirds eternity bands. This simply refers to how far around the band the stones go. For the ring we feature here, we have a full eternity band. The stones go around the entirety of the band. Typically, the stones in an eternity band will be quite small. Here, we see much larger-than-usual diamonds in this eternity band. This gives the ring a lot more style and glamor, while still retaining that fun sparkle and shine that the eternity band is known for. The larger stones make this a more eye-catching ring than a ring with a smaller eternity band. 

Two Classics in One

We note above how valuable a classic style is when choosing an engagement ring. If you choose something classic, you don’t have to worry about changing fashions and trends. This is an accessory that will always be in style. And with the oval-cut diamond ring with a large eternity band we feature here, you actually get two different classic styles in one. First, you have the large oval-cut diamond solitaire. This is a truly timeless style. It is a style that is meant to show off the quality and clarity of one stone. In this case, it is a large 4.02-carat flawless diamond. We cannot overstate how simple and elegant this style really is.

And, since it pairs with a large eternity band, you also get the class and style from that as well. The eternity band is a really great way to add some sparkle and shine to an already glamorous ring. But really, is there such a thing as too much sparkle? We don’t think so. And, you also get the bonus of some extra symbolism in the ring. We will touch on the symbolism of the eternity band below. 

Comfortable and Elegant

If you are going to be wearing a ring every day, it is important that you love the way it looks. But equally important is that it is comfortable and suitable for your daily life. In the section on considerations for choosing an engagement ring, we discuss the importance of thinking about your lifestyle. If you do lead an active lifestyle, or you use your hands a lot, it may change the type of ring you want to get. The great thing about the oval-cut diamond ring with a large eternity band we feature here is that it is comfortable.

This is a great thing, especially on a ring that features a large, eye-catching stone. Sometimes, larger rings aren’t as comfortable. This means they may not be suitable for people who lead active lifestyles. But this ring is actually quite comfortable and can go where you go. There may be certain occasions where you want to remove the ring to keep it from getting dirty. However, it isn’t of a size and style that will impede your life. In fact, it is one of the most elegant combinations of styles you can find. We know you will love the beauty and grace it adds to your look. 

Symbolism and Style

Style is incredibly important when choosing an engagement ring. You want to make sure the piece is something that you like and that you will continue to love for many years to come. It should be of a style that you like and that can evolve with you. As we age, we often change or alter our style, at least to a certain extent, which is yet another reason why classic styles just make so much sense. They are versatile and work with so many different looks. We know that you will love the instant glamor and style anything you pair with a ring such as this will take on. 

Another great thing about this ring is that it has some symbolism. When we are talking about a ring that is meant to represent our relationship, romantic symbolism is a great touch. The eternity band that features in this ring is a perfect example of that. An eternity band is a symbol of two lives joining together as one, for all eternity. The symbolism of our lives coming together to create a shared life is a really beautiful symbol of any healthy romantic relationship.
