Modern but Minimalist: Thin pave band with plain prongs
A simple pave diamond band with plain prongs is perfect for a more modern, minimalist look. This ring setting is both timeless and elegant, showcasing the true beauty of your center stone.
Modern / Unconventional: East-West
An east-west setting is when the center stone is placed horizontally as opposed to vertically on the band. This gives the engagement ring a subtle twist (literally) making a statement in a low-key way.
Understated / Practical: Invisible Gallery
In an invisible gallery design, the shank of the ring does not form a completely round band. It instead connects to the head of the ring directly eliminating any extra metal like prongs or a bridge that would typically be placed in between. This allows the center stone to sit as low as possible, perfectly flush to the wearer's hand. This design is ideal for those who are very hands-on or simply prefer a more discreet look.
Girly: classic or double edge halo
If you’re a lover of all things feminine and aren’t afraid of some extra sparkle - our classic halo design might be the setting style for you. Halos add about a carat worth of extra finger coverage, perfect for anyone looking for some extra glitz and glam, or want to draw more attention to their beautiful center stone.
Romantic/dramatic: Cathedral style band, rose gold
A cathedral style band stretches up to meet the girdle of the center stone and gives off a more elegant, detailed look. This band feature can be created in a variety of styles from pave, solitaire, and even bezel set for a more vintage appeal. A cathedral band adds a bit of drama to any ring setting, making it the perfect way to add some subtle romantic flair.
Edgy: Bezel set center stone
A bezel set center stone is perfect for a more edgy, no-fuss feel. This unique design surrounds the center stone with precious metal for a sleeker, more secure look.
Classic/traditional: solitaire band or 3 stone ring
A solitaire ring setting is perfect for anyone who wants a more classic, traditional look. This ring setting is simple yet striking - putting all emphasis on the sparkle of your center stone. For a more striking traditional look, a 3 stone ring maintains the same timelessness of a solitaire design with an extra flash of sparkle and shine. A plain band may not be as show-stopping as some of the other setting styles, yet a solitaire setting is a timeless look that will never go out of style.
Vintage: bright cut, bezel set halo or band
If you’re looking for a detailed, more intricate design, incorporating a braided or bezel set band or even a bezel set halo will give your ring a unique vintage appeal. These antique-looking designs give off an heirloom-inspired look that is truly timeless and elegant.
Glamorous: double halo, 3-row pave band
Looking to give your diamond an even bigger, bolder look than a classic halo? Check out our double halo design that adds almost a carat and a half of finger coverage. It also has more than two times as many pave diamonds to the setting.
This is the perfect engagement ring style for anyone who isn’t afraid to sparkle and shine in the spotlight. If your center stone feels a little too big for a double halo or you prefer a more subdued way to add some glitz, a 3 row pave diamond band is another way to enhance the shimmer effect of your beautiful ring.
Bold: heart shape, gemstone center
Opting for a more unique center stone, like a heart shape diamond, a yellow diamond, or a colored gemstone is perfect if you really want your personal engagement ring style to be out-of-the-box and original.
