Yes, your engagement ring should be gorgeous. When you flash it in front of your friends, you’ll want to make them shriek. Placing the perfect diamond on your finger (and then showing it off!) is one of the most memorable parts of getting married, after all. But your engagement ring should also be completely your own. If that means nixing an ordinary design for something more personal, like a turquoise gem, a ruby, or even a pearl, so be it.
But how can you tell which distinctive ring is really right for you? Astrology, of course! Your zodiac sign doesn’t only reveal your signature traits, but also your major style tendencies and your taste in design. Whether you’re a romantic Taurus who goes googly eyed over pink stones or a classic Capricorn who appreciates the sophistication of a traditional diamond, there’s an engagement ring for you. Read on to see what’s written in the stars.
Aries
Your Style: As an Aries, your signature confidence helps to define you. You’re bold in what you do and you’re extremely active, so a ring that’s comfortable, but not oversize, is just right for you. You love bold colors, like red, and when given the choice, you prefer diamonds.
Taurus
Your Style: The ring is everything for you, Taurus. You can’t help it — you want what you want. You love texture and colors that make you feel sensual or romantic, like pastel pink. Because you favor high-quality pieces, you don’t mind showing off what you’ve got by making a statement.
Gemini
Your Style: You can’t be so easily pinned down to any one style, Gemini. In fact, the best thing about you is that you love a surprise and you’re not afraid to switch things up. You’re extremely playful too, so an eye-catching silhouette and maybe something unexpected, like a touch of gold, makes for the perfect engagement ring. You never know what you might pair it with!
Cancer
Your Style: You may be a classicist, but nothing can stop you from going wide-eyed over pearls. Shiny white and silver make for a winning color combination when it comes to your entire wardrobe. The ultimate ring for you is one that gets noticed but is also appreciated for its elegance.
Leo
Your Style: Aah, Leo. You’re loud, you’re bright, and you know how to make an entrance. Your engagement ring should suggest the same. Go for one of your favorite warm colors like gold or yellow, and let everyone admire that glowing addition to your finger.
Virgo
Your Style: You pay attention to every detail. It’s just in your nature to appreciate and analyze every curve of your band and the different angles from which your stone glistens. Most importantly, though, you love a delicate piece that’s also practical.
Libra
Your Style: There’s no denying that blue is your color. But not just any blue. Your favored shade is somewhere in between royal and deep navy, so you have a strong liking for sapphires. Because you love the look of something balanced, diamonds and stones set in a braided band is the epitome of perfection.
Scorpio
Your Style: Scorpio, you’re an intense person all around. You tend to favor dark colors like black and red, so a light, ordinary diamond is simply not special enough for you. Look for rubies to jazz up the design of your ring, and make sure it suggests that you’re passionate yet edgy.
Sagittarius
Your Style: You’re extremely adventurous and open to change, and you love an interesting silhouette or shade, like purple, your power color. You’ll be surprised how quickly you fall in love with your unique ring, which is decidedly simple in size and shape, since you’re never fussy.
Capricorn
Your Style: Your sophistication is undeniable. You appreciate fine craftsmanship and tradition, so there’s no doubt you’ll want to wear the most perfect diamond stunner on your ring finger. Once it’s yours, you’ll never take it off and you’ll always make sure it’s polished.
Aquarius
Your Style: Turquoise is your color, and you wear it every single day. You don’t mind one bit if your engagement ring is a hair different than one would expect. It’s totally gorgeous, and your independent spirit will carry it well. What’s more, you dress for yourself, even if that means a bold piece of statement jewelry. You could never imagine an engagement ring with zero personality.
Pisces
Your Style: You need a gorgeous engagement ring that you can get lost in. Since your power color is sea green and your sign’s the symbol of a fish, a diamond that conjures images of a glistening ocean is perfect for you.
