Engagement rings: a symbol of eternal love

Engagement rings are more than just jewelry; they are a symbol of love, commitment, and impeccable taste. These elegant pieces, often featuring a single prominent gemstone, have gained popularity for their timeless simplicity and sophistication. Today, an engagement ring is not just a token of a proposal but also a reflection of individuality, style, and respect for tradition. ELLE O‘zbekiston presents an overview of iconic engagement ring collections from renowned jewelry houses.

Its unique construction allows the central diamond to "float" above the six-prong setting, enhancing its brilliance and grandeur. Available in sizes from 1 to 6 carats, this ring is perfect for those seeking a blend of traditional elegance with modern accents.

Materials for engagement rings: from gold to platinum

When choosing an engagement ring, the material is just as important as the design. Yellow and rose gold are popular for their warm, elegant tones, while silver and white gold offer equally stunning alternatives. However, platinum holds a special place in the world of fine jewelry due to its exceptional durability, resistance to scratches, and ability to maintain its luster for years. Platinum rings securely hold gemstones, enhancing their brilliance and ensuring long-lasting beauty.
