While many consider the larger details, sometimes the smaller details can add the most impact to your engagement ring. Profile detail applies to the design that can be seen when the ring is viewed from the side. Historically, the primary detail in ring design came through the setting, the stone and the band. Profile detail has gained popularity in recent years, helping to add something extra to rings without going over the top. Ensuring that your ring looks incredible from all angles will mean that you won’t want to ever take it off.
Keep reading to get some ideas on how you can add profile detail to your engagement ring with a design that looks amazing from any angle.
How to Add Profile Detail to Your Engagement Ring
Adding profile detail is a great way to add more impact to your engagement ring. These gorgeous rings featured below have plenty of detail in their profile that adds even more beauty to the overall design.
Water Lily
Rising up through the mud to bloom radiantly, the water lily is a symbol of hope, resilience, beauty and perseverance. The lotus-style setting of this water lily ring gives it a unique profile that is sure to appeal to brides who have a love for symbolic, deeply personal ring designs that are eye-catching from any angle. This ring is available in platinum, white gold, yellow gold and rose gold, with a choice of plain or pave band. For even more detail, try a coloured diamond or a vibrantly coloured ruby or sapphire instead of a diamond.
Pin Cushion
The pin cushion fynbos flower is found across the Cape. This hardy fynbos plant has an elegant shape that is reflected in the form of pin-like points. For nature-lovers seeking an unusual ring that is elegant, sophisticated and pretty while still being feminine and surprisingly subtle, the pin cushion ring is perfect. This ring is available in a variety of metals. Add more impact with a brightly coloured stone that further enhances the floral feel of this ring.
Disa Orchid
With its delicate petals and simple shape, the disa orchid is South Africa’s most iconic floral symbol. In this disa orchard ring, the soft petals form a gentle floral inspired ring that is romantic, feminine and graceful. Pave stones add further detail. Whether chosen in platinum, yellow, rose or white gold, and diamonds or any other stone for the pave side stones and centre stone, this ring is a stunner.
Ornate Halo
For something intricate and delicate, the ornate halo ring has a truly unusual profile that adds plenty of visual detail. Working especially well in rose gold and diamond, the variations of this ring are endless. Try coloured diamonds and yellow gold, platinum and emerald or sapphire, white gold and diamond, or even something soft, warm and pretty, such as morganite and rose gold.
Antique Filigree
Those who favour a vintage style will adore this exquisite antique filigree ring, which has a beautifully intricate detail that uses filigree to create plenty of impact without being over the top. In gold, the effect is dazzling. This style would work equally well in platinum, white gold or rose gold, with a coloured stone or classic diamond.
Engraved Plant Motif
In the organic collection, the subtle detail on the engraved plant motif ring adds impact without overshadowing the centre stone. This ring is undeniably romantic, appealing to brides who favour a soft, feminine style. It is especially subtle in platinum and white gold but would work well in rose gold or yellow gold, too, for those who want something a little bolder.
