A Guide to Choosing an Engagement Ring
Your engagement ring is more than a symbol — it’s a story you wear. Whether you lean toward timeless tradition or something a little more personal, what matters most is that it feels like you.And if you ever need help along the way, our team at Keanis is here with thoughtful guidance and expertise, whenever you're ready.
Your moment, your story
Choosing an engagement ring is a beautiful milestone — one filled with emotion, meaning, and endless inspiration. Whether you’re planning a heartfelt surprise or making the decision together, we’re here to help you navigate the essentials with ease.
Explore the style that speaks to you
Solitaire rings remain a timeless favourite — minimal, elegant, and effortlessly classic. But as couples look to express more personality in their choices, styles like diamond bands and trilogy rings have grown in popularity. Trilogy designs are especially meaningful, symbolising past, present, and future.
For those drawn to romantic heritage, vintage-inspired rings — often seen on celebrities and royals alike — offer character and charm that never fades.
Diamonds or gemstones?
Lab-grown diamonds are still the most popular choice — cherished for their brilliance, durability, and timeless appeal.
For a more premium, meaningful, and truly one‑of‑a‑kind ring, you may also consider our Hearts & Arrows lab-grown diamonds, precision‑cut for exceptional symmetry and fire.
But coloured gemstones are rising fast in popularity, offering a unique, expressive alternative. From the Princess of Wales’s sapphire to celebrities embracing bold centre stones, coloured gems bring a vibrant, personal touch to engagement traditions.
Think about the shape
Round diamonds are a forever favourite, celebrated for their unmatched sparkle. But oval cuts are increasingly sought after for their elongated, graceful look that flatters every hand.
When it comes to coloured gemstones, there’s even more room to express personality — from regal emerald cuts and romantic cushions , to the graceful asymmetry of a pear cut. Each shape brings its own character to the piece.
Consider the size
1–2 carats is the most popular range for diamond engagement rings — striking enough for presence, yet versatile enough for everyday wear.
Gemstones, on the other hand, often come in larger carat weights to enhance their colour and individuality, making them an even more expressive choice.
Choose a precious metal
We craft all Keanis engagement rings in Platinum 950 or 18K gold — the same premium standard used by leading fine jewellery houses.
Platinum 950 offers a sleek, cool-toned finish with a naturally bright white colour.
18K yellow gold brings warmth and romance, with a timeless golden glow.
Both are durable, luxurious, and designed to be treasured for a lifetime.
