If you want to
personalise an engagement ring, then one increasingly popular and
stylish option is to put the birthstone of your fiancé into the
engagement ring setting, either as solitaire surrounded by other
stones such as diamonds, or as a three-stone ring.
Advantages of Birthstone Engagement Rings
Birthstones are
delicately colored and make very attractive engagement jewelery
Birthstone
engagement rings are more personalised than popular top-sellers like
the solitaire diamond ring
Birthstone rings
can sparkle as much as their more expensive counterparts through the
use of smaller diamonds in the ring setting
Generally
speaking, birthstones are not as expensive as the so-called precious
stones - diamonds, rubies, emeralds and sapphires - which means you
may have enough left in your engagement jewelry budget for a set:
ring, necklace, earrings or bracelet.

Creating an engagement
ring with a birthstone in the setting is only advisable if your
fiancé likes, hopefully loves, its colors (if it has one). If they
do not like the color, then other gemstones should of course be
considered. You may not be able to personalise the stone, but you can
create an engagement ring design of your very own which has a stone
cut in the style you prefer. Diamonds in engagement rings for example
are available in the following cuts (their names commonly reflect
their shape, style or the gem-cutter or jewelry designer who created
them):
