Engagement Rings For Active Lifestyles

“Whether you're a fitness enthusiast, busy mom on-the-go, or an avid adventure seeker, if you live an active lifestyle, you’re going to need an engagement ring that suits you.”

Now, this doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice style for security, but it is important to choose an engagement ring that can keep up. This means selecting styles with added durability, like bezel settings, low-profile designs, and larger accent stones!

Keep scrolling for engagement ring inspiration for active lifestyles:

Low-Profile Settings

Low-profile engagement rings sit closer to the finger, reducing the chances of snagging on clothing or other objects. This engagement ring style is practical for those with an active lifestyle who are constantly on the move while still looking elegant.

Keep in mind that if you’re looking for a flush fit with your engagement ring, you’ll want to choose a wedding band with minimalistic features or smaller gemstones.

Bezel Set Jewelry

Now trending! Bezel-set engagement rings securely hold the center stone in place with a small metal border that adds extra security. This minimizes the risk of your ring getting knocked or scratched while you’re on the go.

If you’re looking for an engagement ring with a modern and chic look, bezel settings are highly durable and perfect for those with an active lifestyle.

Halo Engagement Rings

Halo engagement rings surround the center stone with smaller diamonds or gemstones, adding extra protection and shine. Bonus: The halo makes your center stone look bigger—so you get that wow factor without sacrificing durability!

As with all precious investments, we recommend you purchase jewelry insurance to protect your ring against loss, theft, and incidental damage. Check out our Jewelry Maintenance blog for more information on how to care for your engagement ring.

Durable Bands

If you’re always on the move, engagement rings with durable bands are a great option. They offer extra stability and are less likely to bend, so you don’t have to stress about everyday wear and tear.

Not to mention, they make the perfect base for your dream setting!

Pro tip: Try a thicker band, split-shank, or cathedral setting for the ultimate secure sparkle.

Large Accents Stones

Engagement rings with large accent stones offer extra sparkle while still being practical. Although you’ll need to inspect your ring regularly and remove it during physical activity, sleeping, and showering, you don’t have to settle for a plain ring just because you live an active lifestyle.

Some great options for busy brides include settings with additional prongs, large accent stones, and cluster engagement rings!

Choose The Right Metal

Durability matters when selecting a metal for your engagement ring. Since platinum and 14k gold are alloyed with harder metals, they can withstand more wear and tear from active lifestyles.

Platinum is particularly scratch-resistant and maintains its luster over time, while 14k gold offers a classic look with added durability. For more information on how to Choose The Perfect Metal For Your Engagement Ring, head to our blog.
