1. Halo & Double Halo Style 
This design features a diamond in the center, surrounded by smaller, full-cut diamonds. It creates the illusion of a bigger diamond.  The newest trend to help give stones a larger look is setting them horizontal. We’ve been seeing this style in ovals, princess, cushion, marquises and emerald cuts.  The halo engagement ring setting has been on trend for seasons now, but the new take is double the fun -- two-tiered halos that emphasize and maximize the look of the stone. End result? Sparkle, sparkle!

2. Classic solitaire 
Just as it reads, this simple, yet elegant, design features one diamond set in a mounting with no other diamonds. Solitaire engagement rings are uncomplicated, yet there are diverse possibilities for this timeless and versatile concept: a four-prong setting, six-prong setting, or bezel setting. A round, brilliant cut diamond in a four-prong setting is the ultimate classic. Build a ring with white gold, yellow gold, platinum or even rose gold. The purity of the diamond and the band on which it is set make a great statement with a classic solitaire.

3. Vintage & Art Deco 
The traditional style of a vintage engagement ring, combined with modern diamond cuts and outstanding designs, makes for an unforgettable looking engagement ring with a vintage feel.  The Vintage ring has consistently shown itself to be a strong favorite of the bridal marketplace.  It can be a nostalgic choice where a ring is passed forward through generations; a continuation of tradition.  Understanding the background behind these great pieces of jewelry is part of enjoying the pieces itself.  To create a custom Art Deco engagement ring that is uniquely you, build a ring with your favorite gemstones or diamonds.
