Choosing a stone for your engagement ring is truly exciting but at the same time confusing too. Here’s a solution to this, the following are the most beautiful stones and the significance behind them to ease your task. These stones will look exquisite when your Asian wedding photographers catch their shimmer in your wedding photographs.
- Diamond
You must have heard, “Diamonds are a girl’s best friend.” You can never go wrong in choosing a diamond as an engagement ring stone. Since they rank the highest on the Mohs scale, they make diamonds the hardest and most durable stones, which you can wear every day. The image here features the engagement ring of Kourtney Kardashian, which is a 10 to 12-carat oval-shaped diamond on a platinum band, and Lady Gaga’s 6-carat heart-shaped diamond ring. You can take inspiration from these designs by Lorraine Schwartz and choose the shape and size accordingly.
- Emerald
Emeralds are the perfect pick to pair with a diamond stone. The Incas and Egyptians believed that emeralds have mystical powers, so if you feel your love is a mystical bond, then emeralds are perfect to reflect your connection. The picture includes Megan Fox’s two-stone emerald ring with magnetic gold bands and a 4-stone emerald ring from The Diamond Store, UK, surrounded by tiny diamonds. MGK and Megan Fox used their birthstones in this wedding ring. You can also choose your birthstones like them.
- Ruby
Rubies are the perfect engagement stones for your ring if you want to reflect deep love and passion through it. The red hues of ruby symbolize profound love and commitment. You can take inspiration from the above picture featuring a square Yana ruby ring from Alexander Spark, New York, and Victoria Beckham’s oval ruby stone surrounded by a diamond halo band. Rubies bring out a vintage vibe when paired with yellow or rose gold and a modern vibe when paired with a silver or platinum band
- Sapphire
The blue sapphire stone has always been associated with royal taste. Its blue hues can mirror the calmness, loyalty, and royalty of your bond. You can customize the ring to your liking to give it a personal touch. The image features the engagement ring of Princess Kate Middleton, which is a 12-carat oval blue sapphire and also includes a halo of 14 tiny diamonds. This stone has always been a part of the royal legacy, and it can become a testament to your marriage as well. Imagine your Indian wedding photographers capturing you while you look like a royal princess wearing this beautiful stone. It also ranks 9 on the Mohs scale and can be found in other colours like pink and yellow.
- Moissanite
If you wish to avoid the heavy pricing of a diamond ring but still want something similar and exquisite, Moissanite is a perfect pick for your wedding ring. It is believed that this stone was discovered in a meteor crater. Imagine wearing a gem from the stars. For inspiration, you can consider this vintage Moissanite engagement ring by a New York-based designer, Henry Rocky. This is a unique ring with a rose gold band, round cut stone, and a snowflake halo.

Topaz is a versatile stone that can be worn every day because of its elegance and durability. It ranks 8 on the Mohs scale and can be shaped in different cuts. It can be found in a huge spectrum of colours, ranging from blue and purple to red and orange. It is a great pick if you love a pop of colour and sparkle. For inspiration, you can consider this oval blue topaz ring with a rose gold band by Diorah Jeweler.

If you are someone who wants to opt for something non-traditional yet elegant, you can certainly go for a quartz stone as your engagement ring. The golden shine of this stone looks like a ray of sunlight, and this can also symbolise light and warmth in your marriage. This can also be found in various forms and colours.
