An engagement is one of those once-in-a-lifetime moments. From the ring, getting down on one knee, popping the question and lastly the resounding "yes!" Then you realize that you’re officially planning forever together! If you’re in the middle of ring shopping (especially during the holiday engagement season), one thing is very clear right now: there are no hard rules anymore.
Ring styles are incredibly fluid, and the “right” ring truly comes down to her personal taste. If you’re wondering how to figure that out… here’s your hint: check her Pinterest board.
At Evermore Ridge Weddings & Events, we meet couples right after that magical “yes,” when the ring is sparkling and the wedding planning excitement is just beginning. If you’re shopping for a ring, or thinking ahead to your wedding day, these real engagement ring ideas from some of our 2025 couples can help guide and inspire you.
Ring Styles Are Fluid—It’s All About Her Style
Trends come and go, but her personal style lasts forever. Some brides love timeless elegance, while others lean bold, modern, or sentimental. Even the color of the band— gold, white gold, rose gold or something completely different. It's all just preference! There’s no “must-have” ring anymore— just the one that feels like her.
Pro tip: If she has a Pinterest board titled “wedding,” “future,” or “dream ring,” congratulations—you’ve already been given the blueprint. If you do not have a Pinterest, download the app, create a random account and look her up. Most people do not have their Pinterest set to private, so it's easy to stalk her dream ring! You're welcome.
Engagement Ring Ideas Based on Styles We've Seen at Our West Virginia Wedding Venue
1. Classic Solitaire
Simple, elegant, and forever timeless. A solitaire ring is perfect for someone who loves a refined, romantic aesthetic.
Perfect for: The bride who envisions an elegant and timeless wedding at one of the most scenic outdoor wedding locations in West Virginia, followed by a beautiful evening reception celebrating with family and friends. Solitaires can be any shape, but the key is there is one prominent center stone. Typically, in the realm of weddings, this stone is a diamond.
2. Vintage-Inspired Rings
Think delicate engravings, heirloom details, and old-world charm. These rings feel romantic and meaningful from the start.
Perfect for: Couples dreaming of a wedding that feels warm, nostalgic, and deeply personal. Where every detail, from the ring to the reception, tells a story.
3. Unique Stones & Custom Designs
From champagne diamonds to emeralds and custom settings, more couples are choosing rings that reflect their love story rather than following trends.
Perfect for: Couples who value individuality and want a wedding day and reception that feels entirely their own.
4. Halo or Hidden Halo
This style offers a pop of sparkle beneath the center stone, creating a romantic surprise. A hidden halo is just like a halo, but it is more subtle and can only be seen from the side of the ring offering a more delicate sparkle.
Perfect for: Someone who loves thoughtful details, much like couples who choose Evermore Ridge Weddings & Events for their ceremony and reception venue in West Virginia. We have put so much thought and detail into our venue, and couples notice this the moment they start their tour.
5. Oval & Elongated Stones
Oval, pear, and marquise diamonds continue to be favorites for their soft, romantic shape and flattering look.
Perfect for: Brides who love modern romance—those who can already picture engagement photos, ceremony views, and an unforgettable reception at a luxurious West Virginia wedding venue like Evermore Ridge. These are classic and stunning. Just ensure that if she prefers a specific shape, you know precisely which shape it is!
