4 Solitaire Engagement Ring Styles
Solitaire diamond rings are a timeless and versatile choice for engagement rings, particularly when made with a round brilliant cut diamond. They’re perfect for those who don’t ordinarily wear a lot of jewellery, as well as those who have a large jewellery collection because they’ll match seamlessly with any style, every day.
There are many solitaire styles you can opt for when designing your own engagement ring. Here are 4 solitaire designs with a round brilliant cut diamond to inspire your ring design.
1. Classic 6-claw Solitaire Engagement Rings
Classic designs are classics for very good reason. When it comes to solitaire engagement rings, the classic 6-claw setting has long been a true classic, and will likely continue to be for generations to come. Six claw settings work beautifully with a round brilliant cut diamond shape, and allow for so many options on when you’re choosing a wedding ring and eternity ring to match with it.
2. Modern 4-claw Solitaire Engagement Rings
The 4-claw setting is as versatile as a 6-claw setting, with a modern style. It’s an excellent choice of engagement ring for wearers who take a minimalist approach to jewellery, and it makes the diamond the star of the piece. Four claw settings are an excellent choice for smaller gemstones because they ensure the metal doesn’t overwhelm the stone.
3. Bezel Set Solitaire Engagement Rings
While claw settings are common in engagement rings, they’re not the only option for setting styles. Clawless engagement rings are possible. Bezel settings offer a sleek, modern appeal and look amazing with round brilliant cut diamonds. They’re perfectly suited to wearers who need a secure, safe style to wear to work or day to day life, and are a popular choice among healthcare workers, and mums with active young children.
4. Half Bezel Solitaire Engagement Rings
For those wanting just one single diamond in their engagement ring, but also a unique engagement ring design, half bezel settings allow you to have both. With settings that cover half but not all of the diamond, half bezels allow for more unique shapes in an engagement ring structure. A wrap around engagement ring design like the one below hugs the feature diamond, creating an elegant and bold style. A matching fitted wedding ring to wear alongside it when you say “I do” further adds to the uniqueness of this ring style.
