Diamond The symbol of romance and eternity, and the most durable gem, the diamond is still the most popular option for engagement rings.

White sapphire Perfect for an heirloom piece, the sapphire, the second-hardest gemstone, is also long lasting.

Moissanite This is a new lab-grown gem that boasts spectacular brilliance.

Cubic zirconia Affordable CZ is perfect in trendier or oversize jewelry.

Quartz Pick clear, shimmery quartz for a statement piece, like chandeliers.

Crystal Do like singer Katharine McPhee, who gave each of her ’maids the cocktail ring pictured above.
