If you are considering getting a Pear cut diamond for your love and you want something with a pop, go for one that either has a halo design incorporated or one enhanced with intricate banding. It will definitely give it a special look that your partner will appreciate.
Yellow Gold.
Yellow Gold engagement rings were the rave back in the 80s. And they are making their comeback and better. They set off gems, especially diamonds in such a beautiful way. Yellow gold is mostly what the ring bands are made of, however, you can find rings with yellow gold colored stones that are amazing.
