Defining the Statement Engagement Ring

What to know about a style that does all the talking.

What Makes an Engagement Ring a "Statement"?

A statement engagement ring is characterized by its ability to draw attention and start conversations. Unlike traditional engagement rings that might be more subtle or subdued, these pieces feature bold designs, larger-than-life VRAI created diamonds, and unique settings that reflect individual personality and style. From intricate halo settings to innovative band designs, statement rings are as diverse as the love stories they represent.

The Appeal of Statement Rings

The allure of statement engagement rings lies in their uniqueness and the way they boldly declare one's commitment. These rings go beyond the conventional to showcase personal style, making the engagement ring not just a symbol of love, but also an extension of individuality. With VRAI’s commitment to sustainability and innovation, each statement ring also reflects a conscious choice for the planet.

Incorporating VRAI Created Diamonds in Your Statement Ring

How to match your values and your style.

Choosing the Perfect VRAI Created Diamond

The centerpiece of any statement engagement ring is undoubtedly the diamond. VRAI created diamonds offer unparalleled brilliance, superior cut, and unmatched origin. For those looking to make a statement, consider opting for larger carat sizes or unique diamond shapes like the Marquise, Pear, or Emerald cuts that stand out for their distinctive appeal and maximized carat weight.

The Importance of Diamond Quality

While the size and shape of the diamond play a crucial role in your statement engagement ring, the quality of the diamond is equally important. VRAI created diamonds ensure that your statement piece not only looks spectacular but is also of the highest quality, gently grown in our zero-emission foundry.

Statement Engagement Ring Settings by VRAI

Get inspired with these statement-making styles:

Bold Halo Designs

Halo settings, where the central diamond is encircled by pavé set diamonds, amplify the ring's presence on the hand, making it a popular choice for those seeking a statement piece. VRAI's bold halo designs add layers of sparkle and depth, creating an eye-catching effect that's impossible to ignore. Choose styles such as the classic Halo, the Halo Dome, or the Floral Halo for a statement-making, vintage-inspired look.

Unique Band Styles

Another way to create a statement is through the band of the engagement ring. VRAI offers designs that feature innovative band styles, from intertwined bands symbolizing the coming together of two lives to geometric patterns that appeal to modern aesthetics. The Twisted Classic, the Duet, and the Mixed Shape are all examples of bold band styles.

Styling tips for attention-grabbing looks.

Balancing Your Jewelry

When wearing a statement engagement ring, it's essential to balance your other jewelry to let the ring stand out. Opt for simpler, understated pieces for the rest of your hands and wrists to avoid overwhelming your overall look. Or, for the maximalists, add in similar bold styles like matching Halo or Mixed Shape jewelry to pair with your ring.

Consider Your Personal Style

Your statement engagement ring should be a reflection of your personal style. Whether you lean towards classic elegance, modern minimalism, or eclectic boldness, ensure your ring complements your everyday style for a cohesive and authentic appearance. For example, if the jewelry you gravitate towards most is yellow gold with little to know diamond accents, consider a bold yellow gold setting like the Curator. If you’re all about diamonds, a Graduated Band with a series of VRAI created diamonds is meant for you.
