Popular types of engagement ring settings and styles

 

Like we discussed in the earlier blog “How to choose an Engagement Ring”, there are various types pf settings you can have in an engagement ring. For example: Cluster, Bezel, Gypsy, Halo, Pave, Tension, etc.

Let’s get into the depth of this!

Cluster:

Here, you will find tiny or small diamonds set close together to form or make an illusion of a bigger diamond. This setting is generally found in geometrical shapes. This will represent a retro feel.

Pros-

·         As discussed, the ring speaks RETRO!!

·         It makes a cluster (quite literally) of smaller diamonds making it look like you got a rock for yourself

·         It is comparatively cheaper than actually buying a rock

·         It complements smaller fingers

Cons-

·         It required an enormous amount of time to maintain and clean due to tiny gaps between the smaller stones

·         If not maintained in a correct way, the stones tend to fall out

 

Bezel:

A bezel setting is where you will find your diamonds inscribed in the rim of the metal. It makes a beautiful ring as it appears to be aesthetically pleasing and hey, more diamonds!!

Pros-

·         Since the diamonds are inscribed in the rim, the diamonds are more secure

·         It offers a modern, stylish and a royal look to your hand

·         It can be used for daily wear

·         It has less maintenance

·         It hides any kinds of flaws in the diamond due to its unique setting

Cons-

·         It hides the diamond more than it should due to its unique setting pattern

 

Gypsy

The stone if flushed into the metal and then the metal is hammered around the stone.

Pros-

·         It protects the stone

·         The ring surface is smooth and not edgy

Cons-

·         Due to the exclusive features of the ring, it is quite expensive

·         It is not recommended for delicate stones.

 

Halo

These rings generally have a huge center stone encircles with smaller stones in pave style.

Pros-

·         Makes the ring look bigger

·         Gives an antique look.

·         It can have a single or multiple halo lines

·         The ring looks attractive and shiny due to multiple stones

Cons-

·         The focal point of the center stone drifts away

·         If the halo is made with different kinds of stone, it would look like a disco party ball

 

Pave

Derived from a French word, it is a composition of rows of tiny stones enclosed in the rim of the metal. It makes the metal unnoticeable.

Pros:

·         It looks extremely rich and shiny

·         Makes the diamonds look bigger than they generally are

Cons:

·         It cannot work with delicate stones or gems

 

Tension

In this style of rings, a single stone is compressed between the metal which holds the stone tightly. Delicate gems or stones cannot be used in this setting.

Pros:

·         The fall of natural light on the stone gives life to the ring

Cons:

·         This setting can only be custom made. One cannot readily find this

·         Only Diamonds, Sapphires and Rubies can stand this setting
