ARIES
March 21 - April 19
Your stone may be a diamond, but your element is fire - and, because of this, you’re adventurous, independent, and a born leader.
What does it mean?
A traditional engagement ring is DEFINITELY not the right choice for you.
Which engagement ring is right for my zodiac?
Think bold colours, unexpected little details, and a truly unique twist on the traditional ring finger bling.
TAURUS
April 20 - May 20
A determined and sensual horoscope, it makes perfect sense that the element for Taurus is earth; you’re grounded, enjoy life’s comforts, and are looking for a secure and happy relationship.
What does it mean?
The engagement ring is VERY important to you, as it signifies everlasting love with your partner - something which you’ve been searching for.
Which engagement ring is right for my zodiac?
You love texture and colours that make you feel sensual or romantic, such as soft blushes and pastel pinks, and you also love high-quality, traditional pieces that will last a lifetime.
GEMINI
May 21 - June 20
If you’re a Gemini, you’ll probably already know that you’re an air sign - and, as such, you can never be pinned down to just one style. Intense and keen to explore, you love surprises and the unexpected, and you’re always fun to be around. No wonder so many people are jealous of your unique and unusual lifestyle.
What does it mean?
You’re a very special sign, so you’ll need a very special engagement ring to match!

CANCER
June 21 - July 22
Ruled by the mysterious moon, Cancers may seem cool, aloof and sarcastic at first - but those closest to them know that, underneath that hard shell, they are very warm, loving, and compassionate. In fact, their hidden softness makes Cancers the most intimate and romantic of the zodiac - and more likely to be ruled by their emotions, rather than their heads.
What does it mean?
You secretly crave security, intimacy and reassurance, and your engagement ring should reflect this.

Love and romance matter more than anything else to Cancers, so you should hunt for an elegant, beautiful, and classic design. Think vintage-inspired diamonds!
LEO
July 23 - August 22
One of the boldest and brightest of all the zodiac, Leos attract plenty of friends and great opportunities thanks to their charisma, positivity, and great sense of humour. It’s also worth mentioning that Leos fall in love whole-heartedly, and are totally devoted and faithful, making them an EXCELLENT person to propose to!

VIRGO
August 23 - September 22
Caring, confident, and very kind-hearted, Virgos are the earth sign that people turn to in times of crisis. Why? Because they know that a Virgo will support them and lift them up through the bad times; they’re the truest of friends. They’re also creative, shy and sensitive and, as such, need to make sure that they’ve found someone truly special before settling down.
What does it mean?
Virgos have been dubbed as fussy and narrow-minded in the past, but there’s nothing wrong with paying attention to detail. But it’s worth remembering that their strong desire to love, and be loved in return, will help them see the good in any engagement ring!
Which engagement ring is right for my zodiac?
Virgos love delicate engagement rings with lots of unique details, paying special attention to the curve of the band and the placement of the stones. They are also particularly drawn to the romantic hue of a rose-gold band; we guess it just cries out to their romantic souls.
LIBRA
September 23 - October 22
The most happy-go-lucky of all the zodiac, Libras are charming, friendly, and very fun to be around. And there’s no point denying it; this air sign is a pure romantic, with a BIG love of Disney films. As such, a Libra’s fantasy is to find their Prince (or Princess) Charming, settle down - somewhere warm, ideally, and find the perfect life balance.
What does it mean?
Libras are enchanting, charming, sweet, and very romantic - all traits which are reflected in their choice of engagement ring.
Which engagement ring is right for my zodiac?
As we’ve said, Libras are searching for the beauty and romance in life - and love to be treated like a princess by their partner. As such, their ideal engagement ring is gorgeous, delicate, and leaning towards the more classic and elegant designs of old.
SCORPIO
October 23 - November 21
Scorpios are intense, dynamic, and VERY imaginative, but a little more reserved when it comes to trusting people. Once they decide they like you, however, you’ve found a very affectionate friend - or partner - for life, and they will do absolutely anything to keep you smiling.
What does it mean?
Scorpios are emotional and independent, with a flair for the dramatic - and their intensity should be considered when choosing an engagement ring.
Which engagement ring is right for my zodiac?
A traditional diamond ring is definitely not the way to go with a Scorpio; look for deep, dark coloured gems or metals - such as reds, blacks, and navies - to find a truly unique ring that captures all of their passion and energy.
SAGITTARIUS
November 22 - December 21
Sagittarians are adventurous, independent, optimistic, and VERY big-hearted. In fact, their biggest desire is to make a difference in the world. These free spirits are happiest when they’re on the move, and can be hard to pin down romantically - but, once they find someone who understands their unique nature, they make truly amazing partners.
What does it mean?
Sagittarians believe that anything is possible and, as such, are very open to trying new things. Particularly when it comes to engagement rings…
Which engagement ring is right for my zodiac?
You need something truly unique, so make sure you search for a brightly coloured gem when it comes to choosing your engagement ring. But, while you love bright stones, you need to steer clear of fussy or intricate designs. Search for something simple, yet unusual, and you’ll have found your dream ring.
CAPRICORN
December 22 - January 19
Capricorns are always willing to go the distance, and so tend to prove very successful in matters of business and the heart. They have an offbeat and unexpected sense of humour, are borderline workaholics, and searching for someone to give them the affection they crave and deserve - mainly because they often forget to be kind to themselves.
What does it mean?
Capricorns are sensitive, hardworking perfectionists. They’re also very proud of their achievements - for good reason. This is why they need a ring that sums up all they stand for in life, and that will be admired by all who see it!
Which engagement ring is right for my zodiac?
Capricorns want a beautifully crafted diamond ring, with a modern twist on the classic design. They want it to sparkle (a lot!), and are happy to do all the polishing a ring like this requires… although they’ll absolutely hate taking it off!
AQUARIUS
January 20 - February 18
Aquarians are trendsetting eccentrics, with a strong desire to be unique and original in all aspects of their life. They’re outgoing, friendly and VERY loyal - and are always willing to drop everything to help out someone in need.
What does it mean?
Aquarians are adventurous free spirits, so definitely DON’T want a ring that feels ordinary or generic.

PISCES
February 19 - March 20
Pisces are sensitive, successful and mysterious - and they want to follow their dreams, so that they can turn fantasy into reality. They are one of the zodiac’s most sensitive signs, making their life something of an emotional roller coaster. Because of this, they need a calm and grounded partner, who knows how to soothe them through their ups and downs.

Which engagement ring is right for my zodiac?
Pisces are drawn to the colours of the sea, so look out for aquamarines, turquoises, and bright blue sapphires. Or, for a unique twist, hunt out an opal or moonstone (pictured); their shimmering colours remind us of the sun-kissed foam of the ocean’s waves.
