These two signs are close in date but different in personality and star representation. Astrology is the study of the influence that distant cosmic objects, usually stars and planets, have on human lives. Everyone has a zodiac symbol and sign to represent a visual of how the stars affect their life based on the date of their birth.

Constellation Necklace.

Zodiac signs have to do with star alignment and where they fall in the sky according to your birthdate.  Design a dainty constellation necklace, use nothing but precious metals like rose gold or platinum or take it one step further and add gemstones as a star. The stars aligned in the shape of your zodiac look great placed horizontally or vertically. Don’t expect a straight line, the stars will be exactly the position you see them in the sky. This is a modern and chic version of zodiac jewelry.

Zodiac ring

Use your specific zodiac sign to make a ring. A pinky or index ring would be a great selection for a Zodiac ring. A modern way is to use the actual sign and text together or individually.

These days, colored gems are becoming increasingly popular. They are unconventional and may have unique meanings or stories behind them. Just like the more conventional diamonds, colored stones can last forever and still speak about the personality of the person wearing it.

Twists and turns.

Engagement rings with unique bands are a great option. This summer, it’s not all about the bling-bling, it’s about the unique quality that gives a ring the ability to stand out. There are engagement rings with a simple twisted band, and also those that are intricately entwined with colored gems or diamonds.

Halo rings.

Halo engagement rings are a timeless design, that has endured many seasons and still remains popular. Halo rings are usually made by encircling a central stone with smaller stones. The stones could be a diamond surrounded by other smaller diamonds, or the centre stone could be a unique colored gem for a more signature look. 

Pear cut diamonds.

Some time ago, pear cut diamonds were unusual and not considered being a perfect engagement ring, but this summer it is rapidly gaining popularity. 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.

Antique rings.

The old and the new seem to merge as far as engagement rings are concerned. The once outdated styles are becoming trendy. Antique rings speak a lot about your history and how it affects your new love story. These days, a simple solitaire doesn’t cut it, more and more people are going for Accent diamonds, intricate engravings, and other little details that bring out the uniqueness of the ring. These are just perfect for one who’s looking for the unconventional.

Create a Replica

Which piece of jewelry stole your heart? Queen Daenery’s was as stylish as they come with her jewelry selection. From the big Westerosi rings to her exciting decolletage selection, she had a plethora of favorable pieces to choose from. Or you favor more of a Lady Sansa’s jewelry, and its simplicity and elegance. Her “brother” Jon Snow was also no stranger to shining in style himself. His encrusted wolf sword-handle to his coat brooches, his swag was unique, subtle, yet powerful. The point is there is something for every style and personality. Choosing your replica is more about you than the actual character who wore it first. Your connection to the replica is priceless not just to the character.

Represents Your House

So, what represents your family? Design a custom family crest and start a family tradition destined for the honor.

Choosing the perfect engagement ring is so much more than the size of the diamond. Often the diamond’s carat size, cut and clairty is usually the first part of the engagement ring discussion. While this a big piece of the ring, the diamond isn’t the main priority to the design.

An Engagement ring is the first piece to a bridal setting worn daily.  The ring symbolizes the love you two share, and that also means the strength of your bond. Knowing your partner is key to creating the design of the ring. It is essential to take into account their daily lives and the wear and tear that will bring.

What They Don’t Tell You

Many Engagement rings come with small intricate details we don’t recognize at first glance, like a double row of diamonds around the band. We often overlook the maintenance of these engagement rings because we are instantaneously mesmerized by the extravagant sparkle of the ring.  Upon a closer look, you see the attention to detail and actual setting of the ring. While these are sparkling beauties and an option for some, they may not be the ideal setting for an active lifestyle. Knowing this before purchasing the ring may help you prevent future costly and devastating damages. If you choose this style, know it will require much more safekeeping by taking it off for certain occasions or activities, which is a good practice for all jewelry.

Low Maintenance Can Still be Pretty

Creating your engagement ring is to be low maintenance doesn’t mean it won‘t shine just as bright as the others. In fact, many favor one diamond versus several. Paying attention to the ring’s prongs and is it capable of holding the stone you desire safe?  Is the band durable enough to withstand daily wear and tear of your profession? Are you good about taking off your jewelry ahead of taking part in an activity like the gym? These are all great question to include in your design on the perfect engagement ring. If you answered No, it might be wise to shoot for beauty and durability. A traditional engagement ring like a Cushion Solitaire Engagement ring is better suitable for an active lifestyle. While this is a piece we would consider being low maintenance, it is still gorgeous eye-candy. You could also engrave the band to add sparkle and more creativity.

Researching engagement rings tips is a great way to get an idea of what you are looking for. It will help give you some direction when you go shopping. At Master Jewelers, we have over 20 years of trusted jewelry experience. Come visit us and we will help you custom design a piece made just for your lifestyle.
