Looking for the right diamond engagement ring settings?

Why buy just the ring setting? When you can't find quite the right combination you can get the setting then have the diamond set into the setting.
When choosing a diamond engagement ring setting, you need to know which type of setting to go with. Prong settings are the most widely used, with bezel, channel and invisible settings also available. Prong settings stick up above the diamond where as a bezel setting is a collar that goes around the stone.
Bezel settings are better for an active lifestyle as less protrudes to catch on the dog leash or tennis racket.
Channel settings are more commonly used with multiple diamonds.
Invisible settings are used on engagement and wedding rings on the sides of the band to make it appear that the diamonds are larger and no channels are showing as they are hidden below the stones.

What Are Popular Engagement Ring Designs?

I remember my parents wedding bands did not have gemstones, they were kind of plain bands with alternating slanted white and yellow gold designs. I never did see their engagement ring. Nowadays it seems imperative that every ring have a diamond and preferably multiple stones around the setting and all around the band! When choosing your
engagement ring designs it makes sense to look at many options before deciding on one. There are not only the traditional white and yellow gold bands, but also now tungsten carbide and platinum bands of many different styles. Look at antique, laser etched, and stainless steel also. Would you believe that they are also trellis design, art deco and black stainless steel with dragons etched?
