Does Size Really Matter? Let’s Talk Engagement Rings!
Okay, confession time. I could scroll through engagement ring inspiration for hours—Pinterest boards, Instagram reels, you name it. If it’s sparkly and beautiful, I’ve probably saved it.
To some, this might sound like a strange way to spend a Friday night. But my friends and family? They know it’s just part of who I am. In fact, they’ve fully embraced it. From Facebook messages to late-night texts, I’m constantly getting tagged and sent photos of stunning rings.
If you can’t beat the obsession, join it — right?
Hijacking Jewelry Store Appointments (Sort Of…)
The obsession doesn’t stop at Pinterest. Whenever I tag along with friends to get their rings cleaned at the jewelry store, I accidentally end up trying on rings myself.
Let me explain: I innocently gaze into the jewelry case, and before I know it, the sales associate is handing me a tray of rings to try on. Who am I to say no?
The Sparkly Evolution: From Over-the-Top to Timeless
My engagement ring obsession didn’t happen overnight. It all began when I received my very first promise ring. (Yes, I said first. There’s a story there, but that’s for another blog.)
Back then, my taste was bold and Atlanta Housewives-level dramatic. I loved those larger-than-life, “you can see it from across the room” kind of rings. Big, bold, and absolutely in-your-face.
But as I’ve grown, so has my style. Today, I’ve developed a deep appreciation for classic, timeless engagement rings — pieces that will never go out of style.
My Current Ring Crushes: Shapes I Can’t Stop Dreaming About
Here are the engagement ring styles I’m currently swooning over:
The Classic Solitaire
There’s something effortlessly elegant about a solitaire ring. Add a diamond-studded band and it’s simple, graceful, and stunning — without trying too hard.
Isn’t she gorgeous? Understated and timeless perfection.
Cushion Cut
Soft, romantic, and beautifully rounded — the cushion cut offers a vintage feel with just the right amount of sparkle.
Better known as the “pillow cut,” it’s simply beautiful and full of charm.
Pear Shape (aka Teardrop)
The pear-shaped diamond — or as I like to call it, the heart-skipper. Every time I see one, it’s like falling in love all over again.
This shape gets me every time. It’s unique, elegant, and a little dramatic (in the best way).
Marquise Cut
The marquise is regal, slender, and totally eye-catching. It’s a bold shape, but still timeless enough to last a lifetime.
Princess Cut
Square with sharp corners and plenty of sparkle, the princess cut is a forever favorite. It balances modern lines with classic vibes.
Metal Preferences? I’m Team White Gold & Platinum
While I’m flexible when it comes to diamond color or carat size, I always find myself gravitating toward white gold and platinum bands. There’s something so sleek and modern about those tones, and they complement just about any stone shape.
To My Fellow Ring Lovers…
Is this obsession slightly over the top? Maybe. But I know I’m not alone. Whether you’re engaged, married, or just manifesting “the precious,” you deserve to embrace your inner sparkle addict.
Keep pinning those dream rings, sending inspo to your besties, and walking straight into jewelry stores like you own the place. The right ring is out there — and when it finds you, it’ll be everything.
And if you’re already rocking your forever bling? Flaunt it, love it, and never stop admiring it.
