Solitaire Rings
The Solitaire diamond engagement ring is basically one diamond stone held in a prong setting. Prongs are often made of platinum, which is itself a very strong and beautiful material. The prongs hold the stone securely in place and provide it with a platform to radiate light from all sides. The use of platinum enables the prongs to be very thin, thereby leaving more of the diamond visible.
Three-Stoned Rings
Three-stoned engagement rings are sometimes known as ‘past, present and future’ rings, as each stone symbolizes the time-transcending power of love. These types of engagement ring typically contain one centrally placed diamond and two smaller diamonds on either side. A three-stoned engagement ring can look stunning with a wide variety of different diamond shapes.
Side-Stoned Rings
Side stones are normally incorporated into a diamond engagement ring using a channel setting, as this protects the diamonds and leaves a smooth edge. This can make them an especially good choice for women who lead active lifestyles. Side-stoned engagement rings have a simple elegance which few other ring types are able to match.
