When It Comes To Choosing An Engagement Ring, Which Style Is Best For Me?

If you're about to be engaged, you'll need to know the difference between several sorts of ring settings and styles. The setting and design of the ring you choose will have a significant impact on its comfort, visual impact, and wearability.

Ring Styles vs. Ring Setting Options

The specific and more technical features that determine the different types of engagement rings are referred to as ring settings, whilst ring styles are more broad methods to classify the look and feel of engagement rings. A classic ring style is the solitaire ring, which has a single center stone and no accent diamonds or gemstones on the band. Solitaire rings are a popular choice for engagement rings because of its simplicity.

Styles of Rings

When you buy an engagement ring from an internet jeweler, you have access to a wider selection of jewelry. Whether you're looking for an engagement ring, a wedding ring, or a custom-made piece, Elleroses has you covered.

Traditional and Ethereal

Traditionally styled rings, like as solitaires, are popular among many women. Trellis or basket settings can be used to enhance the look of the diamond or ensure that it is placed very low in the ring. A row of diamond accents on the band or a setting with concealed or hidden diamond accents can both lend a touch of opulence to the piece (diamonds not visible from the top are set in the gallery or chassis of the ring). A classic alternative to the usual solitaire ring is a three-stone engagement ring.

Stylish and Outgoing

It's best for the wearer to choose for an elevated or pavé-set ring setting if they're looking to make a statement. For those looking for that ``wow`` effect and aesthetic impact, halo engagement settings are also highly popular. Halo settings surround the main diamond with a circle of diamonds to add sparkle and make it appear larger and more brilliant.

Nature-loving and Outdoorsy

Are you a nature lover or happiest when you're outside? Organic elements in ring settings, such as leaves, vines, and flowers, may appeal to you. Consider a setting that keeps the diamond lower to the hand for an active person. A bezel setting, which encircles the diamond all the way around its girdle with a thin metal band, is also excellent for keeping it safe.

Timeless and Romantic

Do you adore all things old and romantic? Consider milgrain embellishments, filigree or scrollwork patterns, delicate galleries, or dainty bands in ring settings. Baguette diamond engagement rings with delicate diamond accents are also a lovely option.

Contemporary and Modern

Do you enjoy dressing in a fashionable manner? Consider sculptural rings, which play with unconventional shapes. Consider a ring with graceful details like engravings or unique forms if you don't want to go with a typical center diamond. Alternatively, a semiprecious gemstone might be used to provide a splash of color.

Unsure?

In the event that you are unsure or overwhelmed, consider proposing with a temporary ring instead of a diamond. This method allows you to experiment with several settings before deciding on the best one.

Options for Precious Metals

Your significant other may have a preference for a particular hue or type of precious metal (such as yellow, white, or rose, gold, platinum, or palladium).
