Tiffany Setting
One of the most well-known jewelry companies in the world created their own scientifically developed six-prong solitaire setting ring. While the band remains plain the distinguishing feature is the knife-edge shaft and the unique design of its prongs.
You don’t need to go to Tiffany’s to find this style of setting, but it won’t be exact because Tiffany’s trademarked their version.
Tension Setting
The stone on these stunning engagement rings looks like they are floating between two bars of metal. The metal band is, as the name suggests, offers the exact amount of tension to hold the stone in place.
A minute groove in the metal will have a small area to sit in, but most often this can barely be seen.
The tension setting is usually a good idea to choose when pitched against a diamond suspension. The tension offers more security to the stone.
Infinity setting
The infinity setting is an intricate detail that adds something a little special to the look at the engagement ring. On either one or both sides of the ring, the band will split and be interlinked. It will have the appearance of an infinity loop and can signify the infinite love between the two people getting engaged.
It’s not just the infinity loop that can be seen on twisted engagement rings, they also come in a range of other styles.
Vintage or Antique
Each period in time has its style of engagement ring: Art Deco, Victorian, and even Edwardian. The styles are unique and offer something exciting and fun to an engagement ring.
The details are what set these rings apart—often having small milgrain or filigree. These delicate metalwork details are what give a ring its antique look.
For an authentic vintage or antique ring, you must do some research into the piece before buying. You should know what makes a ring a legitimate vintage ring and what a replica will look like. Often it can be hard to tell the difference.
Halo
If you want an engagement ring that makes a statement, then a halo ring is yours. These large disc-shaped gemmed rings are sparkly and eye-catching. The halo setting is usually filled with smaller gems, making the center gem look larger than it is.
A halo setting is an excellent idea for making a smaller carat ring appear bigger.
