Engagement ring Styles

CLASSIC

Pave Diamonds

HALO Setting

Classic engagement ring styles such as the timeless solitaire and the elegant Venetian hidden halo setting epitomize enduring beauty and sophistication. The solitaire, with its singular, dazzling center stone, symbolizes purity and eternal love, making it a beloved choice for generations. Meanwhile, the Venetian hidden halo setting adds a touch of intricacy and allure with its delicate halo of diamonds subtly nestled beneath the main gem, enhancing its brilliance and allure. These iconic styles not only celebrate tradition but also embody the essence of everlasting commitment and romance.

A pave diamond ring, exemplified by designs like the Sunbelt setting and Lux setting, offers a luxurious and radiant expression of love. The Sunbelt setting features a band adorned with closely set small diamonds, creating a shimmering halo around the center stone. This design enhances the brilliance and allure of the ring, symbolizing an eternal bond that shines brightly.

Similarly, the Lux setting elevates sophistication with its intricate pave diamonds encrusting the band and often extending to the setting, emphasizing a lavish and glamorous aesthetic. These pave diamond styles not only exude elegance but also signify a commitment that sparkles with every glance, making them perfect for those who appreciate timeless beauty and refined craftsmanship.

The halo setting is a timeless and antique-inspired design that adds an extra layer of elegance to any engagement ring. By encircling the center stone with a ring of smaller diamonds, the halo setting not only enhances the diamond's size and brilliance but also creates a vintage aesthetic reminiscent of romantic eras past.

This classic style has endured through generations, symbolizing everlasting love and sophistication. Its antique charm appeals to those who appreciate tradition and craftsmanship, making it a cherished choice for couples seeking a ring that blends timeless elegance with modern allure.

What Metal Should I choose?

The choice of metal can completely transform the look of your ring. While a particular style may evoke an antique feel in yellow gold, it can take on a modern interpretation of vintage in white gold. Our goal is to assist you in discovering the metal that best complements your unique personal style.

YELLOW GOLD

Choose 18 karat yellow gold for its deep, rich color that echoes the elegance of past generations' engagement rings. Alternatively, opt for 14 karat yellow gold, which lends a subtle, warm glow to your ring. Yellow gold can also enhance the appearance of lower color grade diamonds, making it a smart choice for achieving your ideal ring within a budget..
