You might not be getting married, or you might already have an engagement ring. This doesn't mean that you might not be interested in buying a diamond ring to wear for other purposes. When many people think about diamond rings, they think about them being worn as an engagement ring. This does not have to be the case, though. If you are interested in buying a diamond ring to wear as a nice, general piece of jewelry, these tips can help you pick and wear the right ring.
Wear it on a Different Finger
First of all, typically, engagement rings are worn on the ring finger on the left hand. You can wear your diamond ring on any finger that you want to — including your left ring finger — even if it's not an engagement ring. However, if you want to avoid any confusion and want to prevent people from thinking that your ring is being worn as an engagement ring, then you should consider wearing your ring on a different finger. If you aren't sure of what size you need, you can go to a jewelry store for help with sizing for the finger that you intend to wear your ring on. You can also have your ring re-sized so it's a proper fit for the finger that you want to wear it on, if you need to.
Choose a Colored Diamond
Although people purchase engagement rings with colored diamonds sometimes, most traditionally-styled engagement rings feature clear diamonds. If you'd like to shake things up, consider buying a diamond ring that features a colored diamond. You can choose yellow, pink, or black diamonds, for example. This can be a good way to show off your personal style, and it can help you enjoy a diamond ring that doesn't really look like an engagement ring.
Avoid Solitaires
You can purchase diamond rings of all different types and in all different settings. Solitaires are considered a classic and traditional engagement ring setting, so even though these rings can be quite nice, you might want to avoid buying a solitaire. Luckily, there are lots of beautiful settings you can choose from.
As you can see, you don't have to be getting married in order to wear a diamond ring, or you can purchase diamond rings apart from your existing engagement ring if you have one. If you follow these tips, you should be able to pull off this look quite nicely.
