The traditional engagement ring setting is a round cut, white diamond solitaire set in yellow gold or platinum with platinum prongs to make sure the gemstone does not fall out.  And although the quality and size of the diamond differed from one engagement ring to the next, they were all essentially the same.  But not anymore!

These days when you buy an engagement ring, you can pretty much choose whatever you like.  So make sure you buy an engagement ring that suits the personalities of you both. 

For example, if you like the idea of a diamond solitaire but think that a round diamond is a bit too “safe”, why not choose a princess cut, marquise or a heart shaped diamond instead? 

Or if you want a cluster ring, why not mix and match the diamond cuts within it?  You could for example surround a marquise cut with smaller marquises, or flank a princess cut with baguettes.  And remember too that you can also choose to have a trilogy ring or a more traditional channel set diamond anniversary band as an engagement ring,

And why not add a splash of color too?  You could choose and amethyst ring set with diamonds.  Although traditionally reserved for the 6th and 17th wedding anniversaries, it would make a perfect choice for anyone with a February birthday.  And diamond opal rings look great on anyone as do peridot diamond rings, even if your birthday is not in October. 

You might choose other gemstone engagement rings, but if you want something a little bit different whilst staying within the traditional, why not go for a pearl and diamond engagement ring?  Or why choose a colored diamond engagement ring?  If you want something really unique, why not build your own?

Whatever you decide, remember it could last several lifetimes so make sure you choose wisely!

The 3 stone rings, also called trilogy rings are probably one of the hottest looks in engagement ring styles. The combinations of the three gemstones can vary greatly. The central gemstone is often slightly larger than the flanking two, or may be set slightly higher to catch the light more. The three gemstones may be identical stones, often all diamonds, or may be different.

One popular style of three stone ring is to set a colored gemstone, such as a ruby or a sapphire as the center and add accenting diamonds. However, for those demanding more unusual engagement rings, a central diamond can be flanked by two emeralds, rubies, sapphires or other gemstones.

Band rings may be channel set, or closely prong set. They make excellent eternity rings because they sit loosely alongside the wedding band without undue rubbing or friction. These rings may also be set with precious gemstones alternated with diamonds for a more unusual engagement ring idea. Another variation is to set a solo diamond on top of a diamond channel set band ring to give a very luxurious engagement ring, combining both the look of a solitaire ring and an eternity ring in one piece!
