When you pick an engagement ring, it is a poetic expression of feelings and artistry. The promise you make to your beloved takes the form of a beautiful round cut diamond, but the stone’s character emerges in the setting it is put into. Each setting represents an individual love story. This guide will help you through some of them and assist you in finding the best suited to your round cut beauty.
The Prong Setting
The elegant prong setting never goes out of fashion. In this style, the diamond floats above the band with four to six metal claws that open up space for more light to enter, increasing its brilliance. Besides making the shine look brighter, it creates an impression as if your diamond were floating on your partner’s finger.
The Bezel Setting
Maybe you want something that shows how long you have been together. Bezel settings are some types of rings that blend style with durability. Therefore, they can be worn by active individuals. This type involves encircling a strip or rim around the metal to secure it tightly in position.
This provides not only protection but also adds a modernistic touch to your round cut engagement rings, meaning that this arrangement sets itself apart from others.
The Halo Setting
Halo settings are preferred by those seeking to infuse their rings with irresistible charm because they combine conventional and opulence features. This shape entails surrounding smaller stones near the center, leading to a “halo” effect, thus making them appear larger than they actually are, hence attaining brilliant light.
Other gemstones added to this design increase the overall brightness of the whole thing, transforming it into a more glamorous love statement than just being an engagement symbol that complements the round cut diamond’s brilliance.
The Three-Stone Setting
This setting represents the past, present, and future commitment to love and keeps that promise alive. It involves placing two smaller precious stones on either side of the main stone, which is cut round. This arrangement tells a story, making it an interesting option for such a purpose.
The Pavé Setting
This setting makes the eye travel from one sparkling dot to the central round cut diamond. Besides, it consists of tiny diamonds scattered along the band in such a way that gives off a sense of complete consistency adorned with shining.
Thus, this pavé setting combines a main gemstone with a round cut and a play between mirror-like surfaces, hence its name ‘pavé,’ which means paved in French. If your lady likes shiny rings with lots of twinkling on her finger, then this type is perfect.
Key Takeaways
Like love itself, the journey to find engagement rings starts with choosing the diamond but ends up in the setting one chooses. Settings are where diamonds belong; they give them their names, narrate their stories, and shape them into various forms. A wrapping around your round cut diamond should appear like petals falling gently on it, showing off her strength and telling your tale.
When you are ready to make this beautiful decision, remember there is no right or wrong; just ‘you,’ ‘your love,’ and find that perfect setting for it.
