Engagement rings

Are you planning to propose to your partner? Then your search for the perfect engagement ring may have already begun. What types of engagement rings are available? And how do you find the perfect ring for a proposal?

Gold engagement rings

Most engagement rings are made of gold, such as yellow gold or white gold. The karat weight of a gold ring varies depending on the ring. Engagement rings are available in 9, 14, 18, and even 24 karat gold. The karat weight indicates the percentage of pure gold in the ring. In the Netherlands, 14k gold is the most common, and this also applies to most rings from Oro Jewels.

White gold engagement rings

In addition to yellow gold, white gold is also very popular as a precious metal for engagement rings. The difference between the two lies in the color, as the name suggests. At Oro Jewels, you will find a selection of white gold engagement rings, often adorned with diamonds. The bright color of white gold enhances the beauty of a diamond.

Engagement rings with diamonds

Engagement rings often feature one or more diamonds. Diamonds are not only valuable gemstones but also symbolize eternity, indestructibility, and connection. You can read more about the meaning of diamonds here.

The most classic diamond engagement ring is the solitaire ring. This type of ring features a single brilliant-cut diamond, secured with 4 or 6 prongs. Prefer another style? Opt for a ring with a different cut or setting, such as this one. Want the ring to stand out even more? Choose a design with multiple diamonds for ultimate brilliance.

Vintage engagement rings

Looking for a unique engagement ring that no one else has? Then a vintage piece is a great choice. Vintage rings are unique because each one carries its own story and history. At Oro Jewels, you will find a selection of exclusive vintage rings.

Which hand do you wear an engagement ring on?

Which hand you wear an engagement ring on depends on tradition, culture, and personal preference. Traditionally, engagement rings are worn on the left hand in the Netherlands and many other Western countries. It is most common to wear the ring on your ring finger.

What do you do with your engagement ring after getting married?
