Solitaire settings, where one gemstone is held by prongs, are popular for engagement rings because they allow maximum light to enter so the stone sparkles.

Simple Three Stone Engagement Rings

Three stone engagement rings are for those who want something that has a deeper significance to them; three stone engagement rings represent a couple’s past, present, and future. These types of engagement rings have three stones, typically diamonds, where the center stone is larger than the smaller two side stones.

Halo Engagement Rings with Glamour

If sparkle is more their thing, consider a halo engagement ring. This design showcases a center stone encircled by a halo of smaller diamonds, which amplifies the brilliance of the ring and gives the center stone the illusion of being larger. Halo rings make a sumptuous and glowy look and thus are the perfect choice for anyone who appreciates a hint of glam.
