What Are Accent Engagement Rings?
Accent engagement rings feature small decorative stones—typically diamonds or colored gemstones—placed alongside the main stone to add extra brilliance and detail.
These accent stones don’t overshadow the center diamond but instead complement it, making the ring even more dazzling.
Why Choose an Accent Engagement Ring?
Extra Sparkle – The smaller stones enhance the brilliance of the main diamond.
Unique Designs – Accent stones allow for more creative and personalized ring styles.
A Touch of Color – Adding sapphires, rubies, or emeralds creates a distinctive look.
Classic or Contemporary Appeal – Whether vintage-inspired or modern, accent stones suit all styles.
How to Choose the Perfect Accent Engagement Ring
1. Pick the Right Center Diamond
The center stone is the main attraction of the ring.
Popular choices include:
Round Brilliant – The most classic and sparkling cut.
Oval Cut – A trendy shape that elongates the finger.
Princess Cut – A modern square cut with sharp edges.
Emerald Cut – A sleek, step-cut diamond with a sophisticated look.
2. Choose the Right Metal
The metal setting plays a key role in how the ring looks and feels:
White Gold – Enhances the brilliance of diamonds.
Yellow Gold – A warm, traditional choice.
Rose Gold – Romantic and trendy.
3. Consider Durability and Lifestyle
If you lead an active lifestyle, choose a secure setting such as bezel or channel to protect the accent stones from daily wear.
