Classic Engagement Ring

A classic engagement ring is a timeless piece that transcends trends and fads, maintaining enduring appeal across generations. Typically, it features a clean and elegant design, often showcasing a single, stunning center stone. The simplicity of the design contributes to its versatility, allowing it to pair seamlessly with various styles and preferences. 

Classic engagement rings often prioritize quality craftsmanship and high-quality materials, ensuring they withstand the test of time both in terms of style and durability. Ultimately, a classic engagement ring embodies a sense of enduring beauty and sophistication that remains eternally in vogue.

So, naturally, when it comes to picking out engagement rings, the goal is to choose something that'll keep winning your heart for the long haul – we're talking five, ten, even 20 years down the road. No room for second-guessing or waking up one day thinking, "Hmm, not sure about this anymore." Let's make sure your ring stays forever fabulous!

Tip #1 - Peekaboo Gemstone

Trick number one: introduce the Peekaboo gemstone. Now, this is like a signature move for us at By Bonnie, and it works best if your ring has a bit of design space to play with. Now, what is a peekaboo gemstone?

A Peekaboo gemstone is a charming design element in jewelry, especially in engagement rings. The concept involves adding a hidden gemstone in a discreet location, often on the side or underneath the main setting of the ring. This design technique is employed when there's enough space in the ring's design to incorporate this subtle yet impactful feature. 

For instance, a Peekaboo sapphire might be nestled beneath or beside a prominent diamond in the ring, adding a pop of color or contrasting sparkle that becomes apparent when the ring is viewed from the side. It's a unique and personalized touch that adds an element of intrigue to the overall design.

Take a look at this 3.3-carat diamond ring with a sneak peek of sapphire magic. It's not just gorgeous from the top, but when you catch it from the side, boom – there it is, making a statement. And the best part? You can mix it up with gems like sapphire, emerald, ruby, or even throw in another diamond for that extra sparkle. Let's give your ring a little secret charm!

Tip #2 - Diamond Bridge

Buckle up for trick number two – introducing the Diamond Bridge! This is one of our freshest design elements, and let me tell you, it's a showstopper. You won't spot it right on the top, but when you catch a side view, bam, there it is, looking absolutely stunning.

Now, what makes our Diamond Bridge extra special is how we've added a little curve to it. You see, some folks have it flat out to the side, but we thought about everything – especially your diamond wedding band. We don't want any rubbing off mischief going on. So, we curved those bridged diamonds a bit. It's a beautiful option worth considering!

Tip #3 - Hidden Halo

Get ready for trick number three – Hidden Halos! Seriously, I've been whipping up so many of these for Solitaires, it's like a hidden halo party for every shape imaginable – oval, round, emerald, radiant, you name it. And let me tell you, it's absolutely gorgeous. 

This little gem (pun intended!) is the perfect addition to the side of your solitaire, giving it that extra oomph without stealing the spotlight from your engagement ring.

Now, let's clear something up – hidden halos are not your regular halos. Nope, the actual halo isn't circling the stone; it's hanging out on the side of the skull, adding a bit more sparkle to the equation. So, if you want to jazz up your classic solitaire and let it shine from every angle, a hidden halo is where it's at!
