What is your enneagram ring match?
By Olivia Harris, Diamonds Direct
The Enneagram system is, essentially, a personality test. If you’ve taken the Enneagram quiz and know your Enneagram number, chances are you relate to many of the perceived qualities of that type. Knowing your Enneagram number can help you better understand yourself, others, and how each type interacts with the other.
We decided to pair Enneagram numbers with engagement ring styles for the ultimate Enneagram Engagement Guide! Maybe you don’t know where to start and need a helping hand, or maybe you live and breathe your number (hello, Type 1s!) and are curious to see how this guide stacks up.
Read on for our suggested engagement ring styles for each Enneagram number!
1. THE PERFECTIONIST
Principled, Responsible, Self-Controlled, and Rational
You’re the ruler of justice, the one who always reads the instruction manual, and the one everyone seems to turn to for sound advice. It’s only natural that your engagement ring is simplistic, classic, and perfect. We think a dainty, brilliant round cut diamond solitaire is a Type 1’s dream engagement ring.
2. THE GIVER
Caring, Helpful, Generous, and Supportive
The Type 2 to-do list looks a lot like: send flowers to Mom because she’s had a rough week, bake cookies for the office tomorrow, and remember to text bestie congratulating her on her promotion! You live for others, so you may opt for a stunning, yet modest style like this halo engagement setting featuring 0.17 carats of round brilliant cut diamonds contrasting with a polished shank.
3. THE ACHIEVER
Success-Oriented, Adaptive, Charming, and Driven
Some say workaholic – you’d say driven. Some say image-conscious – you’d say charming. Type 3s know what they want and how to attain it. If you’re a 3, chances are you value the finer things in life because you’ve worked hard for them. A head-turning emerald cut surrounded by 0.51 CT of brilliant round cut diamonds is the picture-perfect embodiment of your successes.
4. THE INDIVIDUALIST
Sensitive, Expressive, Dramatic, and Authentic
If you’re a Type 4, chances are you’ve always felt like you stood out from the crowd. Your creativity, thought process, and individualistic nature is like no other! You may gravitate toward unconventional engagement ring styles that give you art deco and vintage vibes, or perhaps you prefer colored gemstones in lieu of a diamond for that distinctive touch.
5. THE INVESTIGATOR
Analytic, Perceptive, Innovative, and Thoughtful
As a Type 5, at the end of the day you just want to understand why things are the way they are. Your inquisitive nature renders you totally capable of solving the world’s biggest problems. You don’t have time for something flashy – the perfect amount of sparkle in a simple yet stunning solitaire is all that’s necessary for a Type 5.
6. THE LOYALIST
Committed, Engaging, Problem-Solving, and Curious
The Type 6’s of the world are the steady rocks we cling to in all areas of life – a committed, hard-working type that sticks with others through thick and thin. You’re the cornerstone of your friend group and like to keep things well organized. This stunning, contemporary engagement ring is a compliment to your loving and genuine personality.
7. THE ENTHUSIAST
Busy, Fun-Loving, Spontaneous and Versatile
You walk in a room, and it’s like a bottle of champagne has been popped. Amidst the bubbly personality, adventurous streak, and high-spirited nature, you’re just trying to get the most out of life. Drawn to all things pretty, sparkly, and fun – this kite halo engagement ring seems just your style.
8. THE CHALLENGER
Strong, Self-Confident, Decisive, and Direct
As an 8, you may have been labeled as an assertive, strong, and direct person. Such qualities make you a magnetic leader, a quick problem-solver, and a force to be reckoned with! A striking marquise engagement ring embodies your quick wit and decisive nature, plus exudes the confidence you bring to every situation.
9. THE PEACEMAKER
Easygoing, Harmony-seeking, Reassuring and Agreeable
Life is all about balance for Type 9s, so it’s only natural that you may gravitate towards a three-stone engagement ring (you like to see the equalized support on either side of the center stone). Your calm, cool, and collected demeanor draws others to you and your ability to neutralize conflict. A humble team player, Type 9s always go the extra mile – so naturally, you deserve not one stone, but three!
