Diamond Engagement Rings

The Best Engagement Rings in Houston

So, it’s time to buy an engagement ring. Let’s face it, most of us have heard that you should spend two months’ salary on one. What nobody tells you is how many different combinations of settings, diamond quality, and stone cuts there are.

Diamond engagement rings are one of the hardest pieces of jewelry to shop for, since you want it to be a surprise! After all, you can’t just go to your partner and ask what style of ring they want. During our more than one hundred years in business, we have seen some pretty clever ways to get an idea of what your special somebody wants, but nothing can beat an experienced jewelry specialist. So don’t worry, you are not alone! We pride ourselves on our customer service and we are here to help!

When it comes to your engagement, Houston Jewelry and Fine Gifts is dedicated to helping you find your perfect ring with a beauty that will last for decades. Our collection has a vast amount of styles, including vintage engagement rings, rose gold, yellow gold and white gold engagement rings, princess cut engagement rings, simple diamond engagement rings, and many, many more.

Whether you are looking for a simple solitaire diamond ring, a beautiful vintage inspired ring, or an exquisite diamond halo ring, we have the perfect ring for you.

We specialize in the latest fine jewelry designs that are both in line with the current trends as well as with the most timeless classic styles. We stock a large selection of diamond semi-mounts as well as a large selection of GIA certified laser inscribed loose diamonds for you to create your ring.

Buying a ring is actually a two-step process. You not only have to pick out a mounting, but you have to choose a diamond as well. Even then there is another factor: Price. Your first decision, even before you look at any rings, is how much you will be spending.

No matter how much you like a diamond or a mounting you have to stay in your budget. Let our trained professionals help you do that! We know exactly how to select the right stones for the ring you want, while still keeping you in your price range. Stop in today and let us find your perfect ring at the perfect price!

It’s important to remember that this is a once-in-a-lifetime purchase that will last. Think of the many purchases you make for your home and yourself which don't last, which depreciate as they are used, and which you will have to re-purchase several times. Your diamond ring, however, has lasting value and will always be the enduring symbol of you and your partner’s love, as well as go on to be a family heirloom.

The perfect ring marks the beginning of your life together, and will remain a symbol of your love and commitment to marry for the rest of your lives. And, your diamond ring is something you'll both be proud of... Forever.

Settings

Prong - A setting that uses metal prongs to hold a stone in place while allowing as much light as possible to reflect through the stone.
Bezel - A bezel setting completely hides the edges of the stone to protect it from chips and snags.
Channel - Type of setting often used in mounting many smaller stones of uniform size in a row. Stones are not held by individual prongs but rather continuous strips of metal forming a channel into which are fitted the outer edges of the row of stones.
Pave - A type of setting in which many small stones are set as closely together as possible to appear as an all-diamond surface without any metal showing.

Arrangements

Solitaire - The mounting of a single gemstone. The prong set, round cut solitaire is about the most simple engagement ring style you can get!
Halo - A ring of small diamonds surrounding a center stone, giving it the illusion of greater size and a huge amount of sparkle.
Side-stone - The usage of a few small, often colorful stones as accents for the center stone.
Cluster - An arrangement of several small stones so that they appear as one large center stone.

Cuts

Round - The classic diamond shape, the round cut diamond has been designed to produce as much sparkle as possible.
Fancy - A diamond cut other than round - such as baguette, emerald, marquise, pear, or princess.
Princess - The princess cut has incredible brilliance with its square shape and sharp edges.
Cushion - A square cut with round edges, cushion cut diamonds have great brilliance and a long history that make them perfect for vintage settings.
Baguette - The small, rectangular shaped baguette diamonds are often used to enhance the setting of a larger stone.
Emerald - A rectangular step-cut with cropped corners, the emerald cut diamond has a more subtle sparkle, but shows off its clarity beautifully.
Marquise - An elongated cut with curved sides and pointed ends, the marquise cut slims the finger, and shows great sparkle as well.
Pear - The teardrop shaped pear cut slims fingers and helps a stone to appear larger.
