How to choose the right engagement ring – complete guide 2025
Choosing an engagement ring is one of life's biggest and most personal decisions. It's not just a jewelry investment – it's a symbol of love, style and future. In this guide, we'll walk you through everything you need to consider before making your choice, from the cut of the diamond to which gold color best matches your personality.
Lab-grown vs. natural diamonds
When choosing a diamond, it's important to understand the difference between natural and lab-grown stones. A lab-grown diamond is chemically, physically, and optically identical to a natural diamond – but is produced sustainably and without mining.
Get to know the 4Cs of diamonds
The four Cs – carat, cut, color and clarity – are the foundation when choosing a diamond. Together, they determine both quality and appearance. One tip is to focus on the cut, as it affects the diamond's brilliance the most.
At JBH Diamonds, we only use ethically sourced lab-grown diamonds combined with over 80% recycled gold.
Choose the right gold color
The gold color affects the overall feel of the ring:
-
White gold: modern, timeless and highlights the light of the diamond.
-
Yellow gold: classic and elegant – a traditional choice for rings.
-
Rose gold: romantic and unique, with a warm tone that adds softness.
Tip: try different metals against your skin tone to see which one highlights you best.
The cut of the diamond
The cut determines the shape and character of the diamond. Some of the most popular are:
-
Brilliant (round): maximum luster and classic elegance.
-
Oval: modern and lengthening effect on the finger.
-
Emerald: sophisticated with its straight lines.
-
Heart: symbol of romance and love.
Correct size and fit
A ring should feel comfortable but still fit securely. Keep in mind that fingers can swell slightly when warm.
With us you will get help finding the right size – and our rings can always be adjusted if necessary.
Trends for 2025
This year's trends are towards slimmer bands, personalized engravings and sustainable materials. Many are also choosing larger diamonds in unusual cuts to create a ring that really stands out.
Summary
An engagement ring is more than just a piece of jewelry – it's a story about your love.
At JBH Diamonds, we combine Italian craftsmanship with Swedish design philosophy to create timeless rings that last a lifetime.
