Engagement rings and modern materials
When it comes to materials, modern engagement rings call for the courage to go for the unusual. There is no doubt that yellow gold and now also white gold are among the more classic materials for a proposal ring. Away from the typical precious metals, a range of interesting alternatives can be discovered. How about apricot gold or caramel gold? Deep black carbon in combination with shiny white gold also impresses with its unusual look.
If you are looking for a particularly exclusive precious metal, we recommend our engagement rings in apricot gold as well as wedding rings and wedding bands in caramel gold, our in-house alloys. Both come from our Fischer manufactory and are the result of the finest goldsmith's art.
Modern engagement rings and the stone setting
In addition to the material, modern engagement rings can also express themselves through their stone setting. In addition to the white, classic diamond, colored diamonds give an engagement ring fascinating features. Gemstones such as sapphires and rubies are also modern options. One example of this is Heidi Klum's engagement ring. This captivates with an alexandrite. A unique and rare gemstone, in this case in the so-called Asscher cut. A square shape with rectangular cut sides. Fischer can make these special engagement rings for you on request, there are no limits to your creativity.

Modern engagement rings in trend as a front ring
A great way to interpret modern engagement rings is with stud rings. Also known as stud rings, these usually have a discreet look and are slim, slender and slightly flatter. You will also find exclusive Fischer engagement rings with floral patterns. The idea behind a stud ring is as simple as it is ingenious and has already become firmly established in countries such as the USA and the UK. Instead of the engagement ring, whether modern or classic, being replaced by the wedding ring after the wedding and going into the jewelry box, a wedding band is worn in combination with a wedding ring. The result is an ensemble that creates a unique overall look with a personal touch. Filigree patterns or small diamonds can be incorporated into the narrow ring band. With us, you can opt for a wedding band and modern engagement ring that comes in a set together with a matching wedding band. The great thing is that whether for a wedding anniversary, the birth of a child or another occasion, you can add to the combination at any time with the "ring stacking" trend.
