Floral engagement rings are blooming in popularity – no pun intended. Inspired by nature and the femininity of florals, these rings are perfect for those who are looking for someone unique, but still with classic elegance. Whether you’re drawn to rose gold floral rings, delicate petal prongs, or ornate floral halo rings, this setting offers endless ways to personalise your ring. We’re exploring what makes this setting so special and why it’s capturing hearts everywhere.
What is a Floral Setting?
A floral engagement ring setting takes its inspiration directly from the natural world – in particular, from flowers. These rings feature design elements like petals, vines, leaves.Some designs are more subtle, such as simple floral rings with soft petal details or textured bands that mimic vines. Others are bold, like art deco floral rings that blend vintage patterns with floral shapes, or floral halo rings, where smaller diamonds surround the centre stone in the form of petals.
Materials also play a big role in this style. Rose gold floral rings emphasise warmth and have that pink-ish tone we so often see in the natural world, while white gold floral rings create a modern contrast that enhances the fine details.
What Wedding Bands Go With a Floral Setting?
Pairing a wedding band with a floral setting requires some thought, though ultimately it’s down to personal preference. Those looking to let the floral design lead should choose a band that complements without overwhelming. While maximalists can choose a bold wedding band to pair with your uber-bold engagement ring.
For rings with a floral design that is more detailed, a plain gold band or simple pavé band like our Kaitlyn Half Pavé Wedding Ring works beautifully. In this case, the minimalism of the band allows the engagement ring to remain the focal point.
Some might prefer contrast. Like pairing an ornate floral engagement ring with a modern geometric band like our Dallas Bezel Set Emerald Wedding Ring. The soft curvatures of the floral design paired with the striking bezel set emerald cut stones are in complete contrast, yet allow the individuality of each element to be seen and appreciated.
Which Celebrities Have a Floral Engagement Ring?
Several celebrities have revealed floral inspired engagement rings, and helped bring this niche engagement ring style in vogue. Katy Perry’s engagement ring from Orlando Bloom features a floral halo with pink centre stone surrounded by diamonds. While it’s bold and modern, it has hints of an old-school charm.
What Are the Benefits of a Floral Engagement Ring?
There’s more to floral design rings than just sitting pretty. The structure of floral settings offers certain practical benefits. Designs that feature petal prongs often provide a more secure hold on the centre stone, as the prongs are heavier on the centre stone. In the same vein of design elements adding practicality, halo-style floral rings can make the centre stone appear larger.
