Maharaja’s Guide to Finding a Radiant Ring for Your Soulmate!

Valentine’s Day is one of the most popular days to get engaged because it is a day when you can celebrate the unique love you and your partner share. It’s a day to remember all the special moments you’ve spent together and show each other just how much you appreciate and adore one another. What better way to do that than to bend the knee and ask her to be yours forever?! 

If you’re thinking about popping the question this Valentine’s Day, it’s best to start your search for the perfect ring now! We know how important it is to you to pick out a ring that is going to capture her heart and steal her breath. That’s why we want to help you in your quest! 

Explore oval engagement rings, gold engagement rings, engagement rings, ruby engagement rings, and simple engagement rings! We will walk you through some of our favorite styles, gem cuts, and gemstones to help you uncover the ring that you can begin forever with. 


Bring Your Love Full Circle with Halo Engagement Rings



A halo engagement ring has a series of small pavé-set diamonds that encircle a larger central gemstone. This draws attention to the center stone, accenting it. Halo engagement rings are full of sparkle, easy to customize, and perfect for everyday wear. The neat thing about a halo setting is that it can make a diamond appear nearly half a carat bigger than it actually is!

With such elegance, halo engagement rings give their wearer all the vibrance of an expensive engagement ring while being a little easier on your bank account. 

Halo settings don’t just need to be a solitaire engagement ring. The smaller diamonds surrounding the center stone can be with different diamond cuts whether that be princess cut engagement rings or cushion cut engagement rings. If you’re looking for a ring that packs intense sparkle, this Diamond Halo Engagement Ring would be a remarkable pick!



If you love the concept of a halo engagement ring, but would prefer something a bit more understated, you’ll love the hidden halo engagement ring. The hidden halo provides a similar maximizing effect as the traditional halo, but the smaller diamonds–rather than being placed around the face of the center stone–instead circle the bottom of the center stone. 

This provides a radiant platform for the diamond, which will enhance its sparkle and make it appear larger through subtler accents. This solitaire engagement ring also features a diamond pavé band to add an extra touch of brilliance. Hidden halo engagement rings like this are a fantastic option to get more glam for your buck. 

Start your happily ever after off right with this Solitaire Hidden Halo Engagement Ring!


Make Your Love Colorful with Ruby Engagement Rings or Garnet Engagement Rings! 

Love comes in all colors, shapes, and sizes which means engagement rings do, too! While diamonds are a girl’s best friend, engagement rings with colored gemstones are both chic and eye-catching. When browsing for the right gemstone, consider their meanings to add a more intimate story behind your ring. 



Ruby engagement rings are considered to be a thoughtful and endearing choice for an engagement ring. The ruby is a symbol of love, loyalty, and commitment. What better way to ask her to marry you than with a love stone on the day of love? 

Proposing with ruby engagement rings wraps your intense passion and one-of-a-kind love into a radiant gemstone. Rubies' rich color is likened to the blood of the heart. 

Proposing with something like this LeVian Ruby Diamond Ring and gifting the stone to someone is almost regarded as giving someone your heart. Isn’t that what engagement is all about?



Yet another popular gemstone cut is the cushion cut. Known for their soft appearance, cushion cut engagement rings have a rectangular gemstone with rounded edges, giving them a pillow-like look. Cushion cut engagement rings are known for holding their color better than other gemstones. This makes them fantastic for both richly colored gemstones and brilliant cushion cut diamonds. 

This dazzling Cushion Cut Garnet Gold Engagement Ring is equal parts radiant and vibrant. Garnet has long been associated with passion and commitment. If you want your love to know that she has your heart forever, a garnet is a beautiful choice for your center stone.

A Diamond Fit for a Princess!



Just like there are different gemstones to choose from, there are also different diamond cuts. One of the more loved gemstone cuts is the princess cut. A princess cut diamond is square on the top with four beveled sides and meets at a certain point, like an upside-down pyramid. 

Princess cut engagement rings blend a contemporary look with the original mined diamond style. As the name implies, princess cut engagement rings are sure to make her feel like a princess before you make her a queen on the big day itself! This Diamond Princess Cut Engagement Ring is sure to capture her heart.


Classic Styles, Modern Twists



Oval engagement rings are also considered a simple, classic style. The oval shape accentuates the wearer's finger and makes it appear longer. Oval diamonds are considered functional and versatile. They don’t have any sharp edges or pointed corners, so oval engagement rings are less likely to be chipped when compared to other diamond shapes. 

Bedazzle her finger with this brilliant Oval Diamond and Gold Engagement Ring.



Though the pear cut (sometimes referred to as ‘teardrop cut’) diamond is less common than the oval cut diamond, its popularity is rising as of late. This gorgeous shape offers the same elongating effect as the oval, but with a trendy twist. 

This particular pear cut engagement ring also features a gorgeous diamond halo, which will make the 1-carat center stone appear even larger and more brilliant than it already is. And, because she deserves as many diamonds as possible, it’s set in a gorgeous, 14k white gold diamond pavé band.

Don’t Overthink It… Simple Engagement Rings are Suave!



When you’re searching for the perfect ring, there are so many things to consider that it can be a bit of a sensory overload. There are different metals, settings, diamond cuts, shapes, and colors! Don’t overthink it. Sometimes less is more, and more simple engagement rings offer a modest, elegant look.  

A gold solitaire engagement ring is one of the most popular and sophisticated styles of engagement ring. They feature one center gemstone without accompanying diamonds or gemstones with a plain, brilliant band. All the attention is drawn to that center stone, making them more minimalist than some of today’s trendier looks. 

Solitaire engagement rings are perfect for a person that prefers the simple things in life. Something like this gorgeous Diamond Solitaire Ring will be timeless!



If you appreciate the classic beauty of a solitaire, but want something a little more bold, consider a unique diamond cut such as the one at the center of this heart shaped engagement ring! The split-shank band of this sleek ring, and the Tiffany-style diamond setting is a luxe touch. 

You can choose the dimensions of your center stone, as well as the metal you’d like for the band itself. So, whether your love prefers rose gold or sterling silver, you can customize it precisely to her liking.

Thanks to its effortless grace, the solitaire ring has stood the test of time, adorning many lucky brides. This style is here to stay, so shop this Split-Shank Solitaire Ring today!
