Rings come in all shapes and sizes—so how do you find the right fit? Just like a fashion icon’s wardrobe, your engagement ring is a subtle way to express your personal style everyday. Or better yet, the style you want to emulate.
Enter the “cool girl” persona: effortless, enviable, and always trendsetting. Sometimes it’s hard to pin down this tasteful aesthetic, but there’s one thing we know for sure: you know it when you see it.
Here’s how to enter “cool girl” status with your forever accessory:

What is “Cool Girl”?
It's simple: a “cool girl” is the girl everybody wants to be. She’s dialed in to the latest trends, but she’s not afraid to blaze her own trail. From the hair down to the accessories, these tastemakers have a certain je ne sais quoi. And they make it look oh so easy.
Of course, this cool factor makes an appearance on proposal day. A “cool girl” engagement ring is many things; intentional, yet effortless; stylish, yet refined; creative, yet classic. And wearing with confidence is key.

Browse Unique Diamond Cuts
A “cool girl” knows how to take something classic and make it her own. There’s nothing more classic than a diamond—so how do you stand out from the crowd?
Here’s a tip: start by exploring different diamond cuts and shapes. Instead of selecting a traditional oval or emerald, consider modern diamond cuts like a step-cut or trapezoid. Or if you prefer a vintage feel, browse antique diamond cuts like rose cut or portrait. Elegant and subtle, these gemstones emit a unique type of sparkle.

Select a Rare Gemstone
A “cool girl” loves a statement piece. Diamonds might be classic, but there are other beautiful gemstones at your disposal if you’re willing to widen your lens. And another plus: they’re often lower in cost.
Let’s talk pop colors. Perhaps a gorgeous green emerald has your heart, or a subtle blue sapphire is catching your eye. Each of these stones has a unique set of properties and varies in durability—choose wisely, and get ready to turn heads.

Nontraditional details
Take a page from the “cool girl” playbook by setting your own trends. Start by browsing Pinterest for inspiration. What ring styles are catching your eye?
Maybe you’re eyeing a bezel setting. Try refreshing the look with a pocket bezel, or selecting a ring with a chunky gold halo. Or perhaps you prefer thick bands, so you opt for a ring with a matching stacker. These nontraditional designs are available at specialty jewelers, or you could create something custom with the help of a design consultant.
