Engagement Ring Center Stone Recommendations for Christmas Proposal
1. Diamonds
Why recommend it: The brilliance of diamonds resembles the glittering of snowflakes on a winter morning, making them perfect for the Christmas atmosphere.
And Diamonds are not only the most classic engagement ring choice, but also symbolize eternal love. If you are worried that diamond rings are too expensive, you can choose to buy lab diamond rings or moissanite rings.
Lab diamonds have the same chemical, physical, and optical properties as natural diamonds. Moissanite, one of the most popular diamond alternatives today, looks remarkably similar to diamonds and even offers greater brilliance and fire. Most importantly, both options are much more affordable than natural diamonds! To learn more about moissanite and lab diamonds which is right for you, check out our Moissanite vs. Lab Diamond Guide.
2. Ruby
Why recommend it: The vibrant red of ruby is a classic Christmas color. Ruby symbolizes love, passion, and vitality, perfectly aligning with the warmth of the holiday season. Ruby engagement rings represent intense love and courage. (Imagine hanging a ruby engagement ring on a green Christmas tree and the surprise when she finds it!)
3. Emerald
Why recommend it: The deep green of emeralds represents Christmas trees and the natural themes of the holidays. Emeralds are often seen as symbols of hope and renewal, perfectly aligned with the spirit of the New Year. Emerald engagement rings express the expectation of a happy, good life ahead, making them an elegant and meaningful choice.
4. Teal Sapphire
Why recommend it: The teal color of sapphire is reminiscent of the starry sky and Christmas night, mysterious and elegant. (Blue is also the main hue of the December birthstone.） Sapphires are often associated with loyalty, wisdom and eternal love. You may not know this, sapphire engagement rings have been around longer than diamond rings.
Engagement Ring Styles Worth Considering for Christmas Proposal
1. Toi et Moi
The Toi et Moi ring has to be the best engagement ring design for a Christmas proposal, more specifically it should be the Ruby and Emerald Toi et Moi ring! Everyone knows that Toi et Moi rings feature two center stones, and ruby and emerald are classic Christmas colors, so pairing them together feels tailor-made for Christmas! Toi et Moi also means “you and me,” adding a romantic and unique meaning. Of course, you’re not limited to ruby and emerald; there are many popular gemstone combinations for a Toi et Moi ring.
2. Solitaire
The solitaire is the most classic of engagement ring designs. If you want a timeless ring, this is the way to go! Solitaire rings symbolize pure, deep and unwavering love. While not as ornate as other designs, you can still create a unique ring through the shape of the gemstone, setting, band design and choice of metal.
3. Halo
Christmas, winter, snow! Makes me think of another design that would make a great Christmas proposal ring—the Halo setting ring! A halo setting not only enhances the ring’s sparkle and makes it look larger, but more importantly, it can create a snowflake shape that fits seamlessly into the Christmas vibe. It’s pure romance at its finest!
4. Three-Stone
Snowflakes, Christmas trees, and Santa Claus are three classic Christmas “characters” that correspond to white, green, and red, respectively. If you were to use these 3 colors in an engagement ring, how would you design it? Yes, I’d recommend a three-stone design ring: a diamond (snowflake, white) paired with a ruby (Santa Claus, red) and an emerald (Christmas tree, green). You could also choose a multi-stone design to combine all three colors.
Final Thoughts
The center stone and design are the most visually striking aspects of an engagement ring. Different gemstones and designs have different meanings. This article selects gemstones and designs that best fit the Christmas vibe, hoping to assist you in your choice.
