There’s something undeniably intimate about choosing an engagement ring. It’s a decision made with your whole heart and maybe a little champagne. Your ring should do more than sparkle. It should speak. It should feel like you.
At Goodstone, we design pieces that look like heirlooms from the moment they’re worn. The soft pull of an Aurora Pavé Halo. The way solitaire rings hold the light just for you. We craft glances across candlelit tables, hands brushing in crowded rooms, the kind of love that lingers. Each collection tells a different story; yours, rewritten in gold and diamond. Let’s find the one that speaks in a language only the two of you understand.
Understand What You Are Trying to Convey
It’s not just a gemstone. An engagement ring is chosen with longing and hope. It’s a language only the two of you understand. The symbolism behind a ring’s design matters, sometimes even more than the price tag or the carat count. Let’s talk about what these choices mean.
The Silhouette of a Love Story
Before the sparkle, there’s shape. Every shape holds its significance. It’s the outline of emotion, the quiet geometry of connection. Each cut has its kind of romance, whispering something different about the love it represents.
Round: Classic, unwavering, and eternally in style. This shape is all about timeless romance and emotional clarity. If love feels like coming home, this is it.
Oval: A softer take on tradition. It suggests creativity, depth, and a love that expands quietly but endlessly. Elegant and expressive, never loud.
Emerald: Refined and composed, with clean lines and a glassy calm. This cut is for those whose love is rooted in depth, loyalty, and strength.
Cushion: Romantic, vintage, and warm. A cushion cut feels like love letters and candlelight. It’s soft around the edges, with a bold heart.
Marquise: Dramatic and playful, like a secret smirk. This shape suits the flirtatious, the bold, the hopeless romantics.
Pear: A teardrop turned into treasure. Symbolic of emotional vulnerability and resilience.
Asscher: Art Deco elegance with serious old-soul energy. Think deep conversations, whispered dreams, and a love that never chases trends.
Princess: Youthful, sparkly, and full of fire. This shape reflects a vibrant connection – equal parts joy, sass, and soul.
Radiant: A cross between princess and round-cut diamonds. This is for couples who know how to lift each other and when to stay grounded.
Old Mine / Old Euro: Perfectly imperfect, with history in every facet. These antique cuts suit those who find beauty in the details and magic in what’s been passed down.
The Design: The Feel Behind the Form
Some rings feel bold and architectural. Others feel soft and sentimental. Choosing by style is like choosing the mood of your relationship. Each design is a feeling, a rhythm, a kind of intimacy. The beauty of Goodstone’s collection is that it lets your story shine through in the details.
Solitaire
Solitaire rings are the ultimate symbol of simplicity and clarity. With a single centre stone and no distractions, this design is all about intentionality. It says: “I’ve chosen you, and only you.” It’s perfect for those who value elegance and minimalism. It’s also timeless. Never chasing trends, always in style.
Goodstone’s elegant split shank solitaire engagement ring features a band that parts into two before gracefully reuniting at the centre stone, forming an exquisite and balanced frame around the radiant cut diamond.
Three Stone
This style represents your journey as a couple. The centre stone usually symbolises the present. It is held by two smaller stones that honour the paths you’ve crossed and the journey that lies ahead. It’s perfect for souls who see their relationship as an evolving story. Visually, it gives a sense of balance and harmony.

Toi et Moi
French for “You and Me,” this style features two stones sitting side by side. It symbolises two intertwined souls. Each stone can be a different cut or colour. The unique features represent the value each partner brings to the relationship. A Toi et Moi ring is intimate and endlessly poetic.
This Toi et Moi bezel engagement ring features a pear and a baguette diamond. Two stones, side by side, symbolise two souls in harmony.
East West
East West rings turn the traditional setting on its side – literally. Instead of being set vertically, the centre stone is laid horizontally across the band. This creates a fresh, modern look while still feeling refined. Symbolically, it suggests new perspectives and daring choices.
This half bezel solitaire ring blends the sculptural beauty of our signature Half Bezels with the refined simplicity of our Finest Solitaires. Set on a 3.5mm flat band of precious gold, it feels bold yet timeless.
Eclectic
Eclectic rings break the mold. They mix textures and stone types to create something beautifully unexpected. This style suits a love that defies definition. It’s for couples who don’t fit into a box and wouldn’t want to. Each ring in this category feels like it was made for someone rad, not the masses.
Goodstone’s Signature Cluster Engagement Ring, featuring a striking marquise-cut diamond, is designed to captivate from every angle. A timeless silhouette meets delicate detailing in this standout piece.
Butter Knife
Some love stories speak in glances, in half-smiles, and in the quiet certainty of knowing. That’s the kind of love the Butter Knife ring is made for. Its polished silhouette doesn’t beg for attention; it earns it. It’s the kind of wedding ring that feels like it was always meant to be there. The type that slips on and never wants to leave.
The Goodstone Butter Knife Wedding Band is now reimagined as an engagement ring. Its gently sloped sides come together to form a refined, thin edge that wraps elegantly around the band.
Go for a Specific Setting
The setting is the mood of the ring. Subtle. Dramatic. Ethereal. It’s the way your love wears its heart on its sleeve. Goodstone’s Diamond Accent Series and Signature Settings feel like little stories forged in gold. Every curve, every sparkle, every soft glint of light is a love letter. Let’s look at our Zenith Pavé series. It’s like stardust on your skin. Tiny diamonds trail along the band, catching light the way your heart catches when they say your name.
Our Zenith Engagement Ring features a stunning centre stone, accented by a row of larger pavé-set round diamonds along the band. This version uses eye-catching .05ct diamonds on the shank, along with a hidden halo for a touch of brilliance beneath the surface.
And then there are endlessly charming clusters. Stones of different sizes, shapes, and even colours all come together in a design that shouldn’t make sense but does. It sparkles like a love that’s a little wild, a little messy, and somehow just right. Goodstone’s Blue Sapphire Cluster or the Signature Cluster feels like poetry scribbled in the dark – heartfelt and unforgettable.
A milgrain bezel-set diamond meets a delicate cluster of round sapphires. It blends contrasting colours, shapes, and textures into one beautifully balanced composition. The result is a ring that feels both timeless and quietly bold.
The ring you choose will witness your partner’s morning coffee, your late-night drives, and the vows you write on napkins before the ceremony. It will hold your quietest moments and your loudest joys. It will live with you. So please choose the one that already feels like it knows her. The shape that feels familiar. The setting that makes your heart ache a little. The details remind you of the way she laughs or how she tucks her hair behind her ear.
At Goodstone, every wedding ring is crafted with reverence. For beauty, yes, but also for the life it’s about to be part of. This isn’t about trends. It’s about timelessness. It’s about you. Explore Goodstone’s full collection of engagement and wedding rings and find the one that already knows your story. Because when it’s right, you can feel it.
