5 Timeless Styles of Engagement Rings

Solitaire Rings

Solitaire engagement rings are, to many, the epitome of a classic ring. It’s perhaps why it’s the top selling style around the world. A solitaire ring features a single centre diamond without any accent stones and usually a plain band. The most common setting for a solitaire ring is a prong setting which prominently displays the ring above the band, allowing more light to pass through the diamond. If your spouse-to-be worries about snagging their ring on clothes, evaluate solitaire rings with bezel, semi bezel, or tension settings, which minimize snagging. A solitaire ring is a timeless style your partner will cherish forever.

Halo Rings

If your significant other has a dazzling smile, you might want to get them a sparkly ring to match it. Halo rings include a center stone encircled by diamonds, creating a halo effect. They are incredibly popular for their added glitter and glam. The halo creates an optical illusion to make the center diamond look bigger, a great option for couples wanting to boost the appearance of the center stone without going over budget. Halo rings are timeless and can adapt to many cuts of diamonds including round, cushion, princess, and oval. Your fiancé will be sure to smile when they see a halo ring in her favorite cut.

Two Stone Rings

Two stone engagement rings are a great option if you want your fiancé’s ring to symbolize more than your future commitment to one another. These rings represent many things, including the partnership between the married couple, their enduring love, and friendship. Two stone rings are highly customizable and can employ several settings including prong, bezel, and tension. Many couples will also opt for two colors of metal and diamond accents along the band. The possibilities are endless with two stone rings.

Three Stone Rings

Three stone rings, like two stone rings, are full of symbolism. Traditionally, the stones represent the couple’s past, present, and future. These rings are appealing for their symmetry and are an ideal way to incorporate gemstones into a ring design. Three stone rings will either feature a larger center stone flanked by two smaller stones or three stones of the same size. The former design can enhance the appearance of the center stone while the latter design can make more of a dazzling statement.

Multi-Stone Rings

Multi-stone engagement rings make amazing statement pieces for your fiancé. Imagination knows no bounds when you take the time to customize a beautiful multi-stone ring for your loved one. These rings typically have more than three major stones and can be accompanied by smaller stones to add a greater level of detail to the design. Cluster rings are a popular multi-stone ring which features a center stone surrounded by two to three concentric circles, forming the appearance of huge, sparkly diamond.
