Types of Engagement Ring Settings and StylesEngagement Ring Types

Whether you’re planning on getting an engagement ring or simply a beautiful piece of jewelry, it’s always a good idea to get acquainted with the proper terminology so your shopping process goes a bit more smoothly. Diamonds may be a girl’s best friends, but they’re not the only thing that matters when it comes to a stunning piece of jewelry. Settings and styles can make the difference between a gorgeous ring and one that’s not that good looking, despite using precious gems.

When it comes to diamonds you need to analyze them based on the 4 Cs: Cut, Color, Clarity, and Carat Weight. The most common cuts are Round, Princess, Pear, Oval, and Heart, but other equally beautiful cuts include the Marquise, Asscher, Cushion, Radiant, and Emerald. Beyond that, the style and setting of the diamond ring is just as important.
