A: You’re going to want a low-profile ring with a diamond that sits low on your finger so it won’t get caught on excited puppy paws! Consider a bezel setting: this sleek style has a low circle of gold that secures the center stone to the band, instead of dainty prongs, so it holds up better under physical stress. Q: I’M A VET TECH, SO I SPEND ALL DAY WORKING WITH ANIMALS. I LOVE MY JOB, BUT IT’S MESSY AND CHAOTIC. WHAT’S AN ENGAGEMENT RING I CAN WEAR SAFELY AT WORK?
Q: MY BOYFRIEND WANTS TO PROPOSE TO ME WITH HIS GRANDMOTHER’S RING, BUT I HATE IT! I FEEL AWFUL, BUT IT’S SO BUSY AND I LIKE MINIMALIST JEWELRY. A: A jeweler can take the center diamond out of the family ring and put it in a chic new solitaire setting for you, either before the proposal or after the wedding, if you’d like to keep grandma’s setting for the big day. You’ll still have the sentimentality of the heirloom diamond, but in a brand new ring that feels true to you.

Q: WHY DO ENGAGEMENT RINGS ALWAYS HAVE DIAMONDS? I LIKE COLORFUL GEMSTONES! A: Diamonds may be the traditional choice, but there’s no reason you can’t have a colored gemstone engagement ring! Kate Middleton did it, and so did Jackie Kennedy. Just remember that not all gems are strong enough to resist chipping or cracking with daily wear.
