Picture Perfect: Taking The Engagement Ring Selfie

Who says the wedding is the only time for photos? At Brian Gavin Diamonds, we love seeing #ringselfies, and we're so happy this trend has taken off. Since rings are our specialty, we enjoy perusing hundreds of pictures and picking our favorite shots of newlywed bling. There are thousands of different ring styles, but below are some of our tips for taking the best #ringselfie you can!

Colorful fingernails always add a little extra sparkle to the shot. Check out Crystal's fingers (and her bling!) in her #ringselfie.

Not a manicure girl? No worries! Clean, unpolished fingers also work when highlighting your engagement ring.

Don't be afraid to make a splash! Show off your new bling in a variety of settings. The pool is a great place to highlight that sparkle.

It's all about angles. Snap some #ringselfies from a variety of heights. While the traditional front-facing picture is definitely a classic, we LOVE this downward-facing angle that captures the sparkle of the setting and the diamond from the side.

No matter what your ring style or how you said "yes," showing off that sparkle with the perfect photo is one of the ultimate proposal perks. Did we miss one? Show us how you pose with your Brian Gavin Diamonds ring with the hashtag #briangavindiamonds.
