An engagement ring can be traditional, but it does not have to be.
For many, the right ring is simply the one that feels most personal. The form, the proportions, the way it sits on the hand and the way the diamond becomes part of the design all matter.
Mara Paris Fine Jewelry approaches engagement rings through form. Crafted in 18K gold and diamonds, these pieces offer an alternative to more conventional settings, with sculptural lines and distinctive silhouettes.
Contemporary Solitaire Rings
For those who are drawn to the idea of a solitaire but want something less conventional, these designs keep the focus on a single diamond while rethinking the form around it.
Flow Solitaire Diamond Ring
The Flow Solitaire Diamond Ring reinterprets the classic solitaire through a fluid gold line.
The diamond remains central, while the curved band gives the ring a more sculptural character. It is a natural choice for someone who wants the simplicity of a solitaire in a less traditional form.
Groove Solitaire Diamond Ring
The Groove Solitaire Diamond Ring offers another take on the solitaire.
A single diamond sits above a softly undulating band, creating a contrast between the precision of the stone and the movement of the gold. The result feels familiar, but distinctly different.
Sculptural Diamond Rings
An engagement ring does not need a central stone. Diamonds can follow the architecture of the ring itself, becoming part of its line, volume and movement.
Flux Ring in 18K Gold with Pavé Diamonds
The Flux Ring in 18K Gold with Pavé Diamonds moves further away from the traditional engagement ring.
One of Mara Paris’ signature designs, Flux follows the finger with an asymmetric, continuous line. Pavé diamonds become part of the form rather than a separate focal point.
Dream Ring in 18K Gold with Pavé Diamonds
The Dream Ring in 18K Gold with Pavé Diamonds is built around an open silhouette.
The space between its two sides gives the ring lightness, while the diamonds bring a more precious dimension to the design. It feels refined and unusual without being overly formal.
Perfect Grace Ring
The Perfect Grace Ring sits closer to the language of classic diamond jewelry, but its proportions give it a more contemporary presence.
The arrangement of diamonds creates a delicate line on the hand and works equally well worn alone or alongside another ring.
Infinite Grace Ring
The Infinite Grace Ring is one of the more sculptural choices in the selection.
Its rounded, asymmetric volumes curve around the finger, with diamonds following the shape of the ring. The design changes subtly depending on the angle from which it is seen.
Choosing an Engagement Ring
There is no single way an engagement ring should look. When comparing different designs, a few details are worth considering:
- Whether you prefer a central diamond or diamonds integrated into the form of the ring.
- How the proportions and silhouette look on the hand from different angles.
- Whether you plan to wear the ring alone or combine it with another ring later.
A solitaire can be fluid. A diamond can become part of the architecture of the ring rather than sit at its centre. An open or asymmetric form can feel just as meaningful as a traditional setting.
The most important choice is the one that feels right for the person who will wear it.
