Diamond engagement rings have a huge amount of emotional significance tied up in them. It is important to choose something that she will like, something that will stand the test of time and something that you know works well. So when the time comes for you to choose an engagement ring for your loved one, why not steal a head start by selecting from one of these three gorgeous cut and setting combinations?

Prong Solitaire Setting and Round Brilliant Cut Diamonds
This combination is the classic engagement diamond solitaire. The round brilliant is mathematically designed to give the most sparkle and brilliance of all cuts. It is one of the most efficient cuts, because the finished carat weight is maximised from the original diamond rough, making it good value too.

Prong setting is popular because the prongs can be easily adjusted to ensure they hold the gemstone in place. Typical prong settings have four, six or eight claws where extra security is needed! The claws allow a huge amount of light to pass into the gemstone, allowing the round brilliant to flash with beauty.

Trilogy Bezel Setting with Oval Cut Gemstones
A bezel setting is one where the gemstone is completely encircled by a trace of precious metal which holds the gemstone securely by its girdle. The setting adds height and dimension. Although this can be used for any shape of gemstone, it is harder to set those with angles and steps.

Oval cuts look wonderful in this setting because of their old world appeal which seems to echo the age old yet contemporary feel of the setting. And when set threefold in a oval cut trilogy, the setting and the cut combination is stunning.

Channel Setting and Baguette Cut Gemstones
Channel setting is a technique in which a long track of precious metal holds the gemstones securely by their girdles. This setting works especially well with Baguette Cut gemstones, because their straight sides means that they can be set directly next to one another and no metal appears between the gemstones. The effect is a breathtaking as the gemstones appear to float in a continuous river of diamond between the tracks of precious metal!

A pendant necklace might accompany these pieces and the matching ring added only later on. So whether you are looking for the latest stackable rings in rose gold or white gold, or for different designs of engagement ring styles, there is a lot to choose from.

These unusual and traditional styles of three stone engagement rings, channel set band rings, pearl engagement rings and even custom engagement rings are at their most affordable online. Choose from our selection of styles of the best rings available anywhere on the web and be confident that you are buying from reputable jewelers.

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!
