Solitaire engagement ring

It is no surprise that the solitaire ring is number one in the top three of the most popular engagement rings. This classic model is also beautiful in its simplicity with only one diamond set in a precious metal of choice. The diamond’s size depends on your budget, knowing that a small diamond also shines brilliantly, especially if it has an excellent quality. The number of prongs (usually four or six) and the precious metal determine the solitaire ring’s final look.

Halo engagement ring

If you want something more outstanding, we recommend buying a halo engagement ring with a round brilliant surrounded by small diamonds. However, we do see that variances on this model are also very popular. Choosing a square princess cut diamond as a central stone makes the ring more tough and refers to Art Deco’s period, when geometric shapes determined fashion.

Why choose a halo setting for your engagement ring?

Halo engagement rings are renowned for their captivating sparkle and allure. Characterised by a central diamond encircled by a 'halo' of smaller stones, this setting maximises the ring's brilliance and size. The halo not only enhances the centre stone but also adds a layer of glamour, making it an ideal choice for those who appreciate a strikingly beautiful design. Moreover, halo settings offer versatility, allowing for various combinations of gemstones and metals to create a unique, personalised piece.
