Types Of All-Time Preferred Diamond Engagement Rings

So, you have decided to get engaged. And to make the love of your life happy, you want to buy a diamond engagement ring. No matter how frequent you love to purchase jewelry but when it comes to choosing your own diamond engagement ring you often get confused with so many options in store.

Here we have covered some most preferred and elegantly designed diamond rings that make great engagement rings.

Solitaire setting or prong setting - it is the classic and most common ring setting where prong, a little metal claw, grips the diamond tightly. Prong can be round, pointed, flat or V-shaped or princess-cut diamonds.

Pros of a Solitaire setting

• Elevates the diamond, making it more prominent and noticeable
  
• Increase the stone’s brilliance and fire by enabling significant light to pass through the diamond
  
• Simple to clean and maintain
  
• Offers a classic, timeless look
  

Cons of a Prong Setting

• Diamond might become loose with time
  
• Its prongs can snag on clothing, furniture, and other materials
  

Tiffany Setting - These were first introduced in the market in 1886 by Tiffany & Co. that develops a specific solitaire six-prong setting that maximizes the light reflection on the diamond. Tiffany has trademarked their prong design and you may not obtain a similar setting from any jewelry shop.

Pros of a Tiffany Setting

• Amplifies light reflection and brilliance due to high diamond placement
  
• Easy to maintain and keep clean
  
• Carries a classic look that will never go out of style
  

Cons of a tiffany setting ring

• Might snag on clothes and other materials
  
• The Diamond may become loose with time (it’s advised to have the prongs checked every two years)
  

Bezel Setting - These are the second most popular ring setting that instead of holding the diamond with prongs encircles the diamond or center stone. This is done with a thin metal rim custom-made to hold diamond tightly.

Pros of a Bezel Setting

• Offers a sleek, modern look
  
• Does not snag on clothing and other materials
  
• Protects the diamond well and prevents damage
  
• Easy to clean and maintain
  

Cons of a Bezel Setting

• Tends to hide more of the stone than a prong setting
  
• Achieves less light reflection and brilliance than a prong setting
