The Band Ring
The diamond band ring is generally pave or channel set with an array of diamonds to create an illusion of brilliance across the surface of the ring. The setting is smooth & low set into the metal band making this ring one of the easiest to wear on a daily basis. The Side-Stone stone ring is any diamond ring that features a centrally showcased, usually larger, diamond accented by smaller diamonds along the sides of the ring, on either side of the central diamond.
The Solitaire
The diamond solitaire because the most popular setting for an engagement ring around the middle of the 1960s, following a high profile campaign by DeBeers. Be aware that this style can vary greatly depending on the side-stones used and the way the side-stones are set. Prong-set side-stones are more delicate settings than both the channel-set and bar-channel-set, and typically feature larger side stones.
This setting suits all shapes of diamonds and all colors of precious metal. However the setting is a tall one and prong set solitaires are prone to snag on clothing and the like.
Three-Stone diamond rings are imbued with an additional layer of symbolic meaning. Three-stone rings have one diamond representing the past, one representing the present, and a third representing the future. They can be nostalgic, but are typically considered to be timeless. Almost all three-stone set diamond engagement rings showcase prong-set diamonds.
These are either all diamonds or a central colored gemstone flanked by two diamonds, or a central diamond flanked by two colored gemstones. The three stones are usually set in the same plane as the band of the ring, although they can also be set on a twist for variation.
In a solitaire diamond engagement ring, a single diamond is positioned in the center of the ring. Round brilliant diamonds are the most common; however any diamond shape or cut is an acceptable choice. Normally, the diamond is held in place on a solitaire engagement ring by a special prong-setting which looks like a small claw.
There are other settings to choose from too, but these are the most common ones for a diamond engagement ring. Six-prong settings and bezel settings, however, provide the wearer with a bit more security when it comes to the safety of the set diamond. A low setting is also less likely to incur damage than a high setting.
Don’t feel like its taboo to involve her in some of the decision-making. If you do it right, you’ll be ready for this big decision and you’ll know right away when you’ve found the perfect ring.
