Precious Metal Breakdown for Engagement Rings: Yellow Gold Is the Most Popular

What is an engagement ring?

The ring given to a woman when a marriage proposal is made is called an engagement ring. This ring—usually set with a diamond—symbolizes a couple’s mutual promise to marry each other. In Germany, we use the official term “Verlobnis” for the proposal, or commonly refer to it as an “engagement.”

Most often, men give an engagement ring made of yellow gold, followed by white gold and 925 sterling silver. Rose gold and platinum rank fourth and fifth.

76.4% of women wear an engagement ring with a single diamond (primarily brilliant-cut) as the gemstone, known as a “solitaire.” 14.4% have a ring with multiple diamonds.

Inspired by fashion trends, 6.3% of women own engagement rings with colored gemstones such as sapphire, emerald, or ruby. Only 2.9% prefer an engagement ring without any gemstone at all.

Giving and Wearing

In the past, it was customary for a man to purchase engagement rings in pairs. He gave one to his beloved as a gift and wore the other himself.

In the last century, the Anglo-Saxon variant prevailed in Europe, where only the woman receives an engagement ring. In Germany, women wear this on the ring finger of their left hand.

For the proposal ritual, the man purchases the ring in secret and surprises his partner with it when he proposes. If she answers with the three magical words ‘Yes, I do!’, the engagement is finalised.

The planning for the wedding and the purchase of the wedding rings begins.

What distinguishes a classic engagement ring?

The jewellery classic, a solitaire ring with a six-piece setting - known as a Tiffany setting - made of white gold is the most common choice. This high-quality engagement ring type is characterised by a solitaire, a single diamond that is often set in a raised position.

We mould our high-quality engagement rings from the precious metals gold, silver or platinum. For those who subsequently wear the engagement ring together with the wedding ring, we recommend choosing the same precious metal for both.

By the way: Over 60% of couples in Germany purchase gold wedding rings although only around 10% of engagement rings are actually made from this metal. Most engagement rings are made of white gold or silver.

The brilliant cut - a classic for engagement rings

Engagement rings are most commonly set with brilliant-cut diamonds. The brilliant (French ‘brillant(e)’: shining, brilliant) is a round diamond cut according to strict specifications. It has 57 facets, or 58 if the point is cut. Facets are the cut surfaces of a polished gemstone.

In 1919, Belgian mathematician and gemmologist Marcel Tolkowsky invented the brilliant cut, which is still popular today. In Germany, the fine cut developed by Eppler and Klüppelberg in 1938 is considered the ideal cut for diamonds. It builds on the original brilliant cut and optimises it for even better brilliance.

Only flawless diamonds with an excellent cut and no inclusions develop this brilliance, this special sparkle called fire. No wonder they are the gemstone of choice for classic engagement rings.

Yes, we’re happy to sort that out! It’s quite common for an engagement ring not to fit perfectly the first time round. That’s why we offer every customer a free ring resizing service.

All orders come with a ring sizer and instructions showing you how to easily determine the correct ring size. Please take measurements over several days at different times of the day. The average of your measurements will give you the perfect ring size.

To work out this average, first add up all your measurements. Then divide the total by the number of measurements. The final result is your ring size.

Tip: Order your ring without engraving to start with. We’ll engrave it free of charge after the engagement and cover the postage costs too.

Altering engraved rings costs 40 euros; we will completely remake and re-engrave the ring. 

What types of settings are there for engagement rings?

Gemstone settings play a decisive role in the presentation and protection of the precious stone. Not only do they influence the appearance of the ring, but also the light reflection and therefore the sparkle of the gemstone.

Each setting has its own advantages, which we will clarify below. The choice of the right setting depends on personal preferences, the lifestyle of the wearer and the type of gemstone.

Claw or prong setting

Diamonds achieve maximum brilliance in settings with four or six claws, which raise the gemstone above the shank. The six-piece setting is the classic choice for engagement rings and has gained worldwide fame as the ‘Tiffany setting’.

Prongs are cylindrically shaped elements of a prong setting. They hold the diamond securely in the centre and are bent slightly inwards over the stone by the setter.

The prongs sit on or are set into the ring shank and are usually made of the same precious metal as the ring itself.

Bezel setting

The bezel setting is characterised by its simple shape, which encloses the diamond like a bowl. It has an elegant appearance, but naturally lets less light through to the gemstone than other settings, as it shields it from the sides.

Bezel settings completely surround the stone with metal, providing it with excellent protection. It is particularly suitable for active wearers, as the gemstone is held securely and firmly in place.

This setting conceals minor inclusions in the gemstone, making it a popular choice for engagement rings. It gives the ring a modern, minimalist look that appeals to many couples.

All in all, it offers an elegant and practical solution for those who appreciate both aesthetics and security.

Tension ring setting

Tension rings enclose the stone directly in the ring band. They look modern and simple, but slightly reduce the incidence of light and therefore the sparkle of the diamond.

One advantage of the tension ring setting is that it holds the gemstone securely without additional prongs or metal parts. It allows light to enter from the side, which gives the stone a little more radiance compared to the closed bezel setting.

We recommend this setting as an alternative to the bezel setting for anyone who does physical work. This is because this setting also protects the mounted stone from external mechanical influences.

Pavé, channel and burnish setting variants

Other settings for gemstones take one of the three types of setting already mentioned and expand or modify them.

In a pavé setting, the stones are set one after the other along the shank of the ring. Also in this case, prongs are used. There are usually four prongs, arranged in pairs on the side of the shank, which hold the diamond in the centre.

The channel setting holds the gemstones laterally in a channel running parallel to the shank of the ring. In the burnish setting, the diamonds are embedded individually and almost completely in the shank of the ring. Similar to the bezel setting, they protrude only slightly.
