How Important are Engagement Ring Settings

In planning to buy an engagement ring for your sweetheart, one very crucial element you have to consider is the setting. Engagement ring settings play the major role because they dictate the total appeal, beauty, splendor and sophistication of the ring. Ring settings come in different styles, metals and precious stones.  The engagement ring for the lady of your life must look comfortably and elegantly perfect when she wears it in her finger.

Most classic, traditional and contemporary style engagement ring settings are crafted in yellow or white gold, palladium and platinum. You can purchase them in pre-set design or custom crafted with or without diamonds or a combination of diamonds and other precious stones. Reputable jewelry stores provide certified appraisal value of the ring. There are various engagement ring settings recognized by the jewelry industry. Among them are the Solitaire, Cathedral, Two Tapered Baguette, Antique, Vintage, Bezel and Channel. Other variations are the Three stones, Side stones, Bar, Invisible, Trellis, Pave, Prong, Custom, Flush and Tension settings. The most popular center stone is diamond. Diamond cut can be round, oval, marquise, pear, heart, lucida, emerald, princess, trilliant, radiant, Asscher and cushion cut. Many people used other gemstones as the center like South Sea Pearl with assorted small diamonds or other gemstones adorning the sides.

One popular engagement ring setting is the Classic Solitaire. It is much in demand because of its unique brilliance and the reflection of a sophisticated and illusionary look.  Your round brilliant or princess cut diamond looks larger in this type of ring setting. It sets the diamond in a raised up position to allow full exposure to the light.  Another variation of a solitaire setting is the Contour Solitaire. The ring band in this splendid setting is crafted upwards from both side of the center diamond to provide greater protection to the stones.  

In the Cathedral setting, it is designed like a cathedral church with arches. The center diamond is secured in between bands of each side. The diamond cut can be whatever you prefer be it an old miners cut, European, Cushion, Asscher, Round or Princess Cut. You can have an 18k or 14k white gold, palladium or platinum. There are so many designs you can incorporate if your budget allows it. You can have a unique and masterfully crafted customized ring setting with romantic designs. A platinum head prong setting secures the center diamond stone. Cathedral setting type expresses true love and romance.

Engagement ring with side stones setting is also a popular setting style. The side diamond stones will perfectly enhance the radiance of your center diamond. If you want a channel setting, you can opt for a 14k or 18k white gold diamond bypass ring. It can be set with 6 or more brilliant round cut diamonds on each side of your stunning diamond center stone. You can have it crafted with the side shanks curving to secure the center diamond. You may also opt for an excellently designed three stone trellis ring setting to symbolize your past, present and future love commitment. Choose a 14k white gold ring set with two round cut diamonds on each side and a large center diamond within your price range.

The choice is endless when you are on a search for engagement ring settings. In dealing with online jewelry stores, compare and study their policies carefully before you decide. Many  trustworthy jewelers are proud to offer you high quality, beautifully designed and fantastic looking engagement rings, 100% Satisfaction Guarantee, a Full Lifetime Warranty, a 30 Day Return Policy, a Diamond Grading Report, Certificate of Authenticity, a  gift box, free shipping with full insurance and wonderful discounted prices.

If your bride-to-be is the smart and practical type and would be amenable to the idea that she picks the engagement ring herself based on your price range, it will take a lot of burden from your shoulder.
