Wedding bells or none, you don’t need a save-the-date to start dreaming about the perfect engagement ring. With so many dazzling options to choose from, it’s easy to get caught up in the sparkle so why not let your zodiac sign point you in the right direction?
Whether you’re going for an elegant and timeless look or simply indulging in a bit of wishful thinking, know that there’s an engagement ring out there for you. Who hasn’t secretly (or not-so-secretly) swooned over the stunning rocks that grace the fingers of our favorite Hollywood stars?
Did you know that everything from your zodiac sign’s element to its ruling planet can play a significant role in finding your perfect ring?

If you’re familiar with your birth chart, you’ll also want to consider your Venus sign, which serves as a key player in everything from your sense of self-worth to your relationship dynamics. Not to mention, it is the cosmic curator of your personal style and aesthetic.
