Engagement Rings

Engagement Rings

There is no symbol more powerful than an engagement ring when you’re professing just how much you love the special someone in your life. The tradition of giving a loved one an engagement ring goes back to ancient times when it was used to signify that a bride received a dowry. Today, these gorgeous rings represent the promise of marriage, symbolizing commitment and devotion to a significant other.

The Taylor Healey brand is committed to providing each customer with high-quality, one-of-a-kind custom engagement rings that they can’t get anywhere else in Cincinnati. Our team provides a fully-custom tailored experience, where you’ll work directly with our founder, Taylor, without any middle-man to complicate the process. As one of the leading goldsmiths in the state, Taylor Healey aims to provide every customer the devotion and zeal they deserve to ensure that each ring is perfect.

The Different Types of Rings

Diamond

It’s well known that diamonds are the most popular choice for engagement rings because they can come in a wide range of sizes and shapes. These have a distinct number of inclusions, colors, and cuts. Taylor only buys ethically mined diamond or sustainably grown lab created diamonds. They come in many gorgeous cuts such as round, princess, oval, emerald, cushion, marquise, and more.

Moissanite

First discovered in Arizona inside a meteorite crater more than 100 years ago, this rare stone is mostly created in laboratories as a more affordable alternative to diamonds. With a stunning brilliance and fire that rivals the finest diamonds, moissanite stones are a much more affordable alternative engagement ring center gem. Because they’re so durable, they are a great option to consider when you want to pop the question. 

Sapphire

If you prefer a stone with color, you can’t go wrong with sapphire, which comes in a wide range of colors, as opposed to the belief that it’s primarily blue. They can be any color of the rainbow and are highly durable, capable of everyday wear. Whether you choose a pink sapphire or the traditional blue hue, this engagement ring will last for a lifetime.

Gold Alloys 

While yellow gold is one of the most common metals used in engagement rings, it’s not the only color that gold is available in. Engagement rings can also be made with white gold and rose gold. Gold also comes in different purities, known as karats, which mark the percentage of gold in the ring.

Platinum

Known as the rarest metal in the world, platinum is 30 times harder to find than gold, yet it’s highly malleable, strong, and durable. Compared to gold alloys, a platinum ring will have a purer metal since it will have close to 100% platinum instead of a mix of alloys. This metal is also hypoallergenic and resistant to tarnish and wear, while its gray-white color can make diamonds look even whiter.

Sterling Silver

Sterling silver is an alloy that contains 92.5% silver and 7.5% of a different metal, such as copper, which makes it stronger compared to pure silver. However, it’s still softer than other materials used to make rings and will also tarnish, so it will need to be cleaned regularly. The trade-off is that silver is much more affordable than other metals, but isn’t recommended for use in everyday jewelry such as engagement rings.
