For many brides, finding the right engagement ring really does matter. And with good reason.
Aside from being the one thing that everyone asks to inspect as soon as you announce your big news, the piece also represents your relationship. It's a reflection of your love for one another, and an indication of your personality, too. Plus, it's probably the only piece of jewellery you'll ever buy with the intention of wearing it every day for the rest of your life, and likely the most expensive, so it's a decision worth taking your time to consider.
But with so many ring types to choose from, picking a design that looks and feels like 'you' is easier said than done. There are so many different engagement ring shapes and cuts, carats, and price points.... Do you opt for a traditional diamond or a more unique ring? Gold or silver? Diamond or gem?
One good starting point is to discover your star sign rings. That's the style of engagement ring that best matches your zodiac's personality, according to an astrologist...
While you're at it, make sure to scroll our guides to the most impressive celebrity engagement rings, colourful engagement rings and Disney engagement rings, too. Not sure what all the different engagement ring styles are? We've got a handy guide to that, too.
So, without further do, read said aforementioned astrologist's guide to the star sign rings for you. We spoke to Kerry of TarotBella for these star sign rings, but do head to her page for your own unique and personal tarot forecast. You know, this ring style might just be your destiny...
Aries: Marquise
See, star sign rings are beautiful. This cut emphasises the maximum surface area of the central stone, oozing a luxurious feel (because, let's be honest, luxury is everything in your books, #amiright?). Quality matters and this neat shape will give some added 'oomph' to your snazzy rock.

Taurus: Cushion
The cushion cut is splendid-looking and creates a fixed, central ‘landing pad’ for your stone, keeping it nice and cosy and, most importantly, secure. You do not like losing things, Taurus.

Gemini: Coloured stone
Your zany, youthful, fun-loving personality is drawn to bright colours and sparkling gems, so you, of all the signs, can go a little off-script with the choice of rock. Perhaps an emerald, pearl or Alexandrite (May and June’s birthstones).

Cancer: Oval
Oval is a very delicate, romantic style and you’re the great romantic of the zodiac, Cancer. Small pavé stones along an adjacent band further enhance the whimsical-inspired setting. Super pretty and full of detail, you could gaze at it forever.

Leo: Three stone
It’s flashy af, baby. Colossal, mammoth, copious and all-round whopping, you want a ring that almost knocks people over when you show them. An in-your-face, triple-whammy of rocks.

Virgo: Emerald cut
This ultra-elegant cut will make your fingers look extra-long and slim, like a piano player. You appreciate gracefulness and sophistication, and this ring delivers both.

Libra: Pear
Your planetary ruler, Venus, makes you super-conscious of aesthetics; shape, texture, colour. This ornate, feminine cut will make your ring look like a beautiful crystal tear-drop. Soooo pretty, even Venus herself would approve.

Scorpio: Halo
You’re a powerful personality and you need a strong, statement ring to match. The halo cut design places stones all around the central rock, creating an eye-catching effect, drawing other people’s attention (just like you).

Sagittarius: Bezel
This cut is super-secure, which is important for you Sagittarius, due to your hazardous escapades and adorably clumsy mishaps. A beautiful (and practical) ring which isn’t going to get lost/snagged/dented/chipped. It’s Sagittarius-proof!

Capricorn: Solitaire
A classic, regal style, the solitaire is for the more traditional at-heart. You like things which look how they’re supposed to, and this is the archetype engagement ring style.

Aquarius: Minimalist
Marriage is so not about the money, or the bling, the dress, the trappings and adornments. It’s about your love and commitment. So, you’re making a very Aquarian-style statement by having a super minimal and clean-looking ring.

Pisces: Vintage
The very idea that your ring has a ‘past life’, a story, a fairy-tale history, and was maybe even possessed by a bride from long ago sends a shiver of (pleasing) spookiness up your spine! You are an ethereal and spiritual soul, Pisces.
