Opal Engagement Rings

When you're getting ready to pop the questions, choosing the ring is just as important as setting the scene and deciding exactly how you'll ask the love of your life to become your partner forever. Your life together will begin the moment you break out that ring, so there is plenty of pressure to choose something perfect.

As you consider different options for engagement rings, no doubt you'll find plenty of options replete with traditional gemstones like diamonds. Traditional rings can dazzle, that's for sure, but they also have a tendency to blend in. As more and more people flock towards traditional gemstones including diamonds, rubies and emeralds, the natural beauty of those stones become washed out in a sea of similar rings. These days, rings made with these kinds of gemstones only stand out when people buy bigger and bigger stones. Diamonds may be the most common choice for engagement rings, but that doesn't meant they are the only choice.

Opals offer a rich, complex and dynamic beauty that simply can't be replicated by any other gemstone. Their multi-faceted coloring and natural dynamic structure make them a gemstone that is both timeless and unique. As a result, they are fast becoming a popular choice for engagement rings.

Opals offer such a wide variety of looks, feels and color palettes that every couple can find something that provides the perfect fit. Whereas many traditional gemstones have a dynamic color, that color tends to be limited to variations on a single color. Opals, on the other hand, often have a variety of colors – blues and pinks and browns and whites – all in the same stone.

For many couples, the purchase of an engagement ring and – later – a full wedding set marks their first foray into purchasing high end jewelry. After all, these are the rings you'll each wear for the rest of your lives – and your life together. You want something with timeless appeal – something that will fit your personal style now and for decades in the future.

Engagement rings need to be both unique in appearance and able to blend and complement any look. You want a piece that looks like a natural extension and which will suit you for years to come. At the same time you want something that works well as a stand alone piece and that creates a shared look when paired with the wedding ring or set your partner wears.

And it all begins with the ring you choose as an engagement ring.
