Entourage ring

Entourage rings are jewellery that combine the timeless elegance of years gone by with beauty. Often worn by icons of the past and loved for their glamour and style, a unique entourage ring offers a sophisticated way to embrace personality and heritage.

What is an entourage ring?

An entourage ring is a classic piece of jewellery known for its striking design and sophisticated beauty. This type of ring is distinguished by a central gemstone surrounded by wreaths of smaller stones. This configuration creates a stunning look and enhances the visual impact of the central stone. This makes an entourage ring a timeless piece of jewellery appreciated in both historical and modern contacts.

What kind of entourage rings are there?

You can find an entourage ring in different styles and designs, each with their own unique charm and characterisation. This versatility makes entourage rings a popular choice for all different occasions, from engagements to special celebrations. Here are some of the most common types of entourage rings you may come across:

• Classic entourage rings: The classic entourage ring has a central gemstone, for example sapphire, and is then surrounded by smaller diamonds. This design highlights the central stone and creates an elegant and timeless look. These rings are praised for their simple yet sophisticated aesthetic.
• Vintage entourage rings: Vintage entourage rings have a nostalgic charm and are usually from a specific era, such as the Victorian, Edwardian or Art Deco period. They often have intricate details and unique designs typical of the era in which they were made. Vintage rings are valued for their historical value and the unique stories they tell.
• Modern entourage rings: These rings combine traditional designs with contemporary styles. For instance, these rings may have asymmetrical patterns, unusual gemstone combinations or innovative materials. They offer a fresh take on the classic entourage ring and are ideal for those who want something unique and contemporary.
• Colourful entourage rings: The central stone does not have to be a sapphire or diamond. So you can think of emerald or ruby, but in our Atelier collection we also have opal as the central stone. In addition, the surrounding stones are usually diamonds, but can also be replaced by, for example, garnet. Colourful entourage rings are perfect for those looking for a unique and vibrant piece of jewellery.
• Floral entourage rings: By Floral entourage ring, we mean an entourage ring with a floral design. These rings are often inspired by nature, often the central gemstone is the 'flower heart' and the surrounding stones are the 'petals'. This type of ring has a romantic and organic look and is popular for engagement ring because of its symbolism of growth and flowering.

Why choose an entourage ring as an engagement ring?

An entourage ring is an ideal engagement ring because of its stunning and timeless elegance. The central gemstone, surrounded by smaller diamonds, catches beautiful light and stands out. These rings have a rich history and were worn by royalty, adding to their romantic image. Offering versatility in design, with classic, vintage and modern styles, they create an impressive look without a large central stone. With this, an entourage ring combines beauty, history and versatility, making it a perfect choice for an engagement ring.

Tips for wearing an entourage ring

Wearing an entourage ring requires some care and attention to ensure that the ring always looks its best and maintains its brilliance. Here are five important tips to enjoy your entourage ring to the fullest:

• Regular cleaning : Keep your entourage ring clean by cleaning it regularly. Use a soft brush and a mild soap solution to remove dirt and oils. Rinse the ring with lukewarm water and dry gently with a soft cloth. Regular cleaning helps maintain the shine of the gemstones and metal.
• Cautions : Do not wear your ring during strenuous physical activities or household chores such as cleaning or gardening. This will prevent damage to the gemstones and metal. It is also wise to take off your ring before applying lotion or washing your hands to prevent product build-up on the gemstones.
• Safe storage : Store the ring in a safe place, such as a soft-lined jewellery box. Make sure the ring does not come into contact with other jewellery to avoid scratches. This will help keep your ring in perfect condition when you are not wearing it.
• Professional inspection : Have your entourage ring inspected regularly by a professional jeweller. They can check the ring for loose stones and wear, and perform professional cleanings to maintain its luster. This ensures that any problems are spotted early and rectified.
• Avoid chemical exposure : Avoid exposure to harsh chemicals such as detergents, perfume or hair spray. These can damage the metal and gemstones or reduce their shine. By taking off your ring when using such products, you can prolong the life and beauty of your ring.
