Diamond and Gemstone Engagement Rings

At Padis Jewelry, we have one of the largest selections of engagement rings in Northern California and more than 10,000 diamonds to ensure customers find the perfect ring.  Among our extensive collection, we have the most sought-after luxury name brands that include classic and modern designs as well as the latest trends.

Shopping for an engagement ring you will both love forever can be a tough decision for many couples, and it isn’t any easier with the amount of choices available in not only diamond rings, but beautiful gemstone choices.  If you want to choose classic styling, diamonds are a timeless way to go, but even here you have a wide range of choices.  For example, you can choose a diamond as a center stone and go with complementary diamonds or colored gemstones around the setting and band. 

While diamonds may be the most expensive gemstone, they symbolize eternal love and strength, and are also the most popular choice for an engagement ring.  If you do go with a diamond, you will still have plenty of options to choose from in terms of cuts and settings.    

Another popular choice for engagement rings is sapphires, which are believed to symbolize fidelity.  Sapphire engagement rings became more popular after Kate Middleton received her 18-carat royal blue sapphire ring, which had previously belonged to Princess Diana.  Sapphires are a good choice for everyday wear as they are just behind diamonds in hardness (9 on the Mohs scale with diamonds at 10).  The deep blue gemstone’s quality is judged on the color.  

Rubies also make excellent engagement rings as they too are a 9 on the Mohs scale and will look as beautiful as the day you bought it for years to come.  More affordable than diamonds and symbolizing purity and innocence, pearls are a nostalgic and feminine choice.  Please visit Padis Jewelry’s website to see our large collection of loose diamonds and gemstones along with stunning engagement and wedding rings.
