Choosing an engagement ring is exciting — but also stressful. Most men worry about one thing above everything else:

"What if she doesn't like the ring?"

You're not alone. At AmourDiamant, we speak every day with men who want the moment to be perfect but feel uncertain about choosing the right style. The good news? It's much easier than you think.

Why most men struggle with choosing the right ring

The truth is: you don't need to know everything to make the right choice.

4 key factors in choosing a ring she'll truly love

1. Choose a flattering shape (Oval or Round are the safest choices)

Oval and Round stones are the two most loved engagement ring shapes worldwide.

• They look elegant on any hand shape.
• Oval stones appear 10–15% larger than other shapes of the same carat.
• Round stones have the most sparkle of any shape.
• Both are timeless and never go out of style.

80% of our customers choose Oval or Round stones — and women consistently say these shapes look "perfect" in real life.

2. Choose a thin band — it makes the stone look bigger and more elegant

Thin bands (around 1.5–2.0 mm) are the most universally flattering. They make the center stone appear larger, look delicate on the hand, and work with every stone shape.

3. Pay attention to the side details — subtle is better than complicated

If you're unsure about her taste, choose:

• Solitaire (safe, timeless)
• Hidden halo (extra sparkle, but subtle)
• Cathedral setting (classic, elegant)

4. Look at her everyday jewellery (she already tells you her style)

Women are consistent with their jewelry. Check what she wears most often:

If she wears:

• Thin, minimal jewellery → thin-band solitaire
• Elegant bracelets / sparkly earrings → hidden halo
• Simple gold chains → solitaire with classic setting
• Bold pieces → oval with halo

You don't need to guess — just observe.

What actually works best for most couples

After helping thousands choose engagement rings, we've seen exactly what leads to a ring she loves:

• Thin band + Oval stone — the safest choice for all hand shapes.
• Round stone + solitaire — timeless and brilliant.
• Hidden halo — perfect balance of elegance and sparkle.
• 1.0–2.0 carat appearance — looks impressive without being "too small" or "too much."
• White gold or platinum — matches almost everything women wear and have that iconic engagement ring color.

If you stick to these combinations, you are already 90% safe.
