Nowadays many couples use a temporary ring for the proposal and buy the actual engagement ring together. However, if you are the traditional sort you may prefer to surprise your significant other with both a romantic proposal and an engagement ring they will adore.
The style of the ring
Deciding on a ring setting and shape of the gemstone is, perhaps, the most difficult part of selecting a ring. A good way to determine your partner’s preference is to think about the kind of clothes, furniture, and art that they appreciate. Their favorite interests and hobbies may also clue you in on whether they would appreciate a ring that is glamorous, modern, classic, vintage, or a combination of different styles. The specifics: gemstones and metal
Nearly 90% of all engagement rings have a center diamond. The second most popular gemstone selected for engagement rings is sapphire. These two gemstones are, by far, the safest choice when in doubt.
The most popular diamond shape is round. Second to the round-cut are the princess cut and cushion cut, as per market statistics.

In terms of popular metals, the most common choices are white gold and platinum. Platinum is especially popular among couples who hope to pass down their ring through the generations as an heirloom.
This being said, it is important to remember that although many classic engagement rings feature a round diamond solitaire set in platinum, your partner may want something more unique. Do some reconnaissance for a few weeks to get a clear idea of their personal style. And if you still aren’t sure, meet an experienced jeweler for guidance. You will be surprised by the valuable insight a designer has – even based on seemingly obscure details such as your girlfriend’s love for autumn, or her obsession with Zooey Deschanel’s outfits!
