If you’re on the hunt for the perfect diamond engagement ring and you or your partner are a Leo, why not let the zodiac guide your choice? Those born under the Leo sign are known for their love of luxury, boldness, and a penchant for the dramatic. A Leo’s engagement ring should not only reflect these traits but also fit the wearer’s style and aesthetic.
Let’s delve into the zodiac world and discover how to choose a diamond engagement ring that resonates with the fiery spirit of a Leo.
Understanding the Leo Zodiac Sign
Leos, ruled by the sun and symbolized by the lion, naturally gravitates toward pieces that make a statement. When it comes to engagement rings, think bold designs, prominent settings, and the sparkle that can rival the sun itself. A Leo diamond engagement ring should capture the essence of this zodiac’s confidence and strength.
The Leo Engagement Ring
Here’s a closer look at some styles that resonate with Leo’s flair, an array of engagement rings that are perfect for Leo’s vibrant personality.
Halo Engagement Rings
The halo setting, where a center stone is surrounded by smaller diamonds, is ideal for Leos who love to bask in the limelight. This setting not only enhances the ring’s presence but also maximizes the diamond’s brilliance. The Fara ring is a great choice for Leos because of it’s enhanced radiance. With three rows of pavé diamonds flowing down the band alongside a pavé diamond carat, this 0.72 carat setting perfectly aligns with Leo’s desire to make a statement.
Bold Solitaires
For the Leo who appreciates a classic with a twist, there are solitaire rings that feature bold band designs or other details. A solitaire ring symbolizes a singular love, and the added details speak to Leo’s desire for individuality. The Mila ring is unlike any other solitaire in Sylvie’s selection. With a 3.2 mm band in high polish yellow gold, this piece compliments any center stone perfectly.
Modern and Edgy Designs
Leo’s aren’t afraid to stand out, and a modern engagement ring with edgy elements – think geometric shapes or unexpected diamond arrangements – will appeal to their avant-garde sensibilities. For example, the Alana ring is perfect for a Leo. It features a unique alternating round diamond and baguette halo as well as round diamonds flowing three quarter ways down the band, totaling 0.48 carats.
Split Shank
The split shank design offers a modern and bold look, aligning with Leo’s confident and contemporary style preferences. The Daniella ring is a unique choice for this style with each diamond band wrapping up into a corresponding prong on either side of the center stone. This ring features a total of 0.29 carats.
Three Stone Engagement Rings
Symbolizing the past, present, and future, three-stone rings offer a meaningful and dramatic design that resonates with Leo’s love for storytelling and significance. The Martine ring features two side pear diamonds atop a high polish band, totaling 0.5 carats. This ring offers a bold aesthetic through the use of fancy shaped diamonds to create a symbolic design.
Warm Yellow Gold
Leos are ruled by the Sun, which is symbolized by the color gold. Yellow gold mirrors the warmth and brilliance of the Sun, aligning perfectly with Leo’s astrological connection and enhancing their natural radiance. The Joanna ring is a beautifully designed yellow gold option that features a solitaire band and 0.12 carat hidden halo underneath the center stone.
The Perfect Leo Diamond
Diamond Shape
Princess: With its sharp, clean lines and modern appeal, the princess cut diamond offers a sophisticated and stylish look. Its bold and striking appearance resonates with Leo’s confident and glamorous personality.
Princess Cut Solitaire Engagement Ring – Amelia
Oval: The oval cut diamond offers a unique and elegant shape that elongates the finger and provides a brilliant sparkle. Its distinctive appearance aligns with Leo’s desire to stand out and make a statement.
Other Diamond Qualities
Excellent or Ideal Cut: Leos appreciate brilliance and sparkle, making an excellent or ideal cut essential for maximizing the diamond’s light performance and brilliance. This ensures the diamond stands out and captures attention, aligning with Leo’s bold and vibrant personality.
2 Carats and Above: Leos love to make a statement, so larger carat weights are preferable. A diamond of 2 carats or more offers significant presence and impact, reflecting Leo’s love for luxury and extravagance.
VS1 or VS2: To ensure the diamond is nearly flawless to the naked eye while still offering good value, Leos prefer diamonds with a clarity grade of VS1 (Very Slightly Included 1) or VS2 (Very Slightly Included 2). These grades provide a balance between visual perfection and cost, appealing to Leo’s appreciation for quality.
D to E Range: Leos are drawn to the finest things in life, and diamonds in the D (colorless) to E (near colorless) range offer exceptional purity and brilliance. These higher color grades ensure the diamond is bright and stunning, matching Leo’s desire for the best and most striking appearance.
