Gentlemen, if you’re on the path to getting hitched, your first stop post asking-her-parents-for-her-hand-in-marriage is the Design District. Finding the engagement ring won’t be a problem in Palm Court and the surrounding area that rivals Paris’s famed Place Vendôme. Deciding which ring suits her personal style, well, that may be the tricky part. Save yourself the stress, and read on.
If She’s Traditional
For the girl with classic style, head to Tiffany & Co. where you’ll find diamonds set in the Tiffany Setting, the epitome of traditional engagement rings. A round cut diamond set on a simple yet stunning platinum band is sure to stand the test of time. Tiffany & Co. NE 39th Street, (305) 428-1390.

If She’s a Fashionista
If she eagerly awaits the arrival of her monthly subscription to Vogue and has a closet full of “It Bags,” then this gem from Nikos Koulis will solidify an “I do.” The Oui ring with a .62-carat white emerald cut diamond set among white diamond baguettes and black enamel bezel, on an 18k white gold band perfectly marries a traditional engagement ring with a fashion-forward, “it girl” style.

If She’s Bold
For some women, their wardrobe consists of one color, black. And then there are those that adhere to “the brighter the better.” If her wardrobe is a Technicolor wonderland, then illuminate her finger with a colored diamond. Visit Harry Winston, the King of Diamonds, who has a plethora of colorful cuts including the Micropave Yellow Diamond Ring set in Platinum and Yellow Gold and Radiant Pave Pink Diamond Ring set in Platinum and Yellow Gold. Harry Winston, 166 NE 39th Street, Miami, Florida 33137, (786) 275-3660.

If She’s Artsy
If she spends her time browsing galleries and firmly believes that Art Basel is about the art not the parties, then the Flower ring with a 4-carat cushion cut diamond stone set in rose gold from
VHERNIER is a work of art she can wear. VHERNIER, 140 NE 39th Street, Suite 137 Miami, Florida 33137, (786) 615-2722.

If She’s Retro
For a girl whose style is inspired by the days of yore, opt for BVLGARI’s diamond and emerald ring set in 18K white gold.
