Ring Settings and Styles

When it comes to choosing the perfect ring, it's not just about the gemstone or the metal. The setting and style of a ring play a crucial role in its overall beauty and appeal. From classic solitaires to intricate vintage designs, the world of ring settings and styles is a treasure trove of creativity and craftsmanship. In this blog post, we will take you on a journey through the different ring settings and styles, helping you discover the perfect fit that will make your heart skip a beat.

What are Ring Settings and Styles?

Ring settings and styles refer to the different ways in which gemstones are placed and held within a ring, as well as the overall design and aesthetic of the ring. A ring setting determines how the gemstone is secured on the band, while the style encompasses the overall look and feel of the ring. From classic solitaires and halo settings to vintage-inspired designs and modern contemporary styles, ring settings and styles offer a wide range of options for individuals to express their personal taste and preferences. These choices can include the number and arrangement of stones, the type of metal used, and any additional decorative elements such as engravings. Each setting and style has its own unique charm, allowing individuals to find the perfect ring that complements their individuality and captures their desired aesthetic.

 

Which Engagement Ring Style Should I Choose?

Choosing the perfect engagement ring style is a highly personal decision that should reflect your personal style, lifestyle, budget, and gemstone preference. Consider your individual taste and preferences when it comes to jewellery and whether you lean towards classic or modern designs. Additionally, think about your lifestyle and the practicality of the ring, ensuring it can withstand your daily activities. Set a budget for the ring and understand how different styles may affect the overall cost. Lastly, if you're selecting the ring for your partner, consider their preferences and involve them in the decision-making process or gather subtle hints about their preferred styles.

Ultimately, the key is to choose an engagement ring style that resonates with your heart and represents your unique love story. Take your time, explore different options, and consult with reputable jewellers who can offer guidance. By considering your personal style, lifestyle, budget, and partner's input, you can find the perfect engagement ring that symbolises your commitment and brings joy for a lifetime.

 

 

Solitaire Settings

Let's start with the most iconic and timeless setting—the solitaire. With a single centerpiece gemstone held by a simple metal band, solitaire rings exude elegance and sophistication. Whether it's a round brilliant diamond or a coloured gemstone, solitaires highlight the beauty of the centre stone and allow it to take centre stage. From classic prong settings to bezel or tension settings, there are various options to choose from based on your personal style and preference.

 

Multi-stone Settings

Multistone rings offer a captivating and eye-catching alternative to traditional solitaire designs. These rings feature multiple gemstones arranged in various configurations, creating a stunning display of brilliance and colour. Multistone rings hold significant symbolism, with each stone representing a unique meaning or milestone. For instance, trilogy rings, also known as a three-stone ring, symbolise the past, present, and future of a relationship. The arrangement of the stones can vary, with options such as a central gemstone flanked by smaller stones, a cluster of stones forming a focal point, or even intricate patterns and shapes. Multistone rings allow for endless customisation, where you can choose gemstones of different shapes, sizes, and colors to create a truly personalised piece. With their dazzling beauty and meaningful symbolism, multistone rings make a striking choice for engagements, anniversaries, or any special occasion, celebrating the journey and milestones of love.

 

 

Halo Settings

If you desire a ring that radiates sparkle and brilliance, a halo setting might be the perfect choice for you. Halo settings feature a central gemstone surrounded by a circle or multiple smaller stones, creating a captivating halo effect. This setting not only enhances the size and visual impact of the centre stone but also adds a touch of glamour and vintage charm. Halo rings can be customised with different gemstone shapes, metal colors, and even mixed metal combinations, allowing you to create a truly unique piece.

Wedding Bands and Eternity Rings

Considering your preferred style of eternity and wedding bands is just as important as selecting an engagement ring. The style of these bands can complement and impact the overall look of your engagement ring.

Eternity bands are often chosen as special occasion gifts like wedding anniversaries, birthdays, or Valentine's Day. These rings are characterised by a continuous presence of diamonds encircling the band, symbolising eternal love between a couple. Available in claw, channel, pave, and bezel settings, these bands securely hold the diamonds in place. The brilliance and sparkle that encompass the finger add a touch of personality to a simple band. Although commonly worn on top of an engagement ring or wedding band, the placement is ultimately a matter of personal preference and comfort.

Wedding bands are exchanged during the wedding ceremony, symbolising the sacred union of marriage and representing a couple's lifelong commitment. The beauty of a plain wedding band lies in its pure and refined elegance. Its timeless class and simplicity allow it to shine on its own, even without the presence of diamonds. Wedding bands are available in various metals such as yellow gold, rose gold, white gold, silver, platinum, and palladium.

Remember, choosing the perfect eternity and wedding bands is just as significant as selecting an engagement ring. These rings will accompany you on your journey of love, symbolising your enduring commitment and personal style.
