When it comes to choosing the perfect engagement ring to symbolize your love and commitment, the setting style plays a distinctive and important role in defining the ring's overall characteristics. The setting style is as important as the center stone because it will not only hold or highlight the center stone but also reflect the wearer's unique personality and emotions. At LVNA, you’ll never run out of choices, whether you prefer classic elegance, modern opulence, or rare pieces. Discover some of the most popular setting styles that will definitely help you find the perfect match.

Prong Setting: The Timeless and Classic

This setting is one of the most classic and widely known styles, especially loved for diamond solitaire engagement rings. It usually features 4 and 6 metal prongs that securely hold the center stone. This setting impressively elevates the center stone, allowing for maximum light exposure that enhances its brilliance even more. This became popular because of its power to make the center stone appear more brilliant, showcasing it with minimal interference from the metal. 

If you’re looking for a ring setting that beautifully emphasizes the center stone, a prong setting is probably the top choice for you. 

Halo Setting: The Dazzling and Extra 

In a halo setting, the center stone is beautifully surrounded by a “halo” of smaller diamonds or other precious stones–creating that appearance for the center stone to look larger and more radiant. This setting became popular as it is undoubtedly a showstopper with its captivating and eye-catching effect. 

If you’re trying to achieve that extra glamour and dramatic appeal for your engagement ring, then this setting is perfect for you. 

Paved Setting: Elegant and Demure

A paved setting is distinguished by its band surrounded by smaller stones that are embedded closely together, enhancing the overall brilliance of the band without overwhelming its stunning center stone. This setting allows your engagement ring to exude brilliance and radiance from any angle. 

If you opt for a stunning engagement ring that mirrors your shining love everywhere, a paved setting is definitely the right choice. 

Cathedral Setting: The Classic and Sophisticated

For this setting, the band sophisticatedly arches upward, securing the center stone in place. A cathedral setting highlights a delicate sculpted look reminiscent of the stunning architectural design from the Gothic era, creating the beautiful appearance of the cathedral’s spires. 

This setting is ideal for those who are looking for a perfect balance of vintage-inspired and modern appeal–as this emphasizes traditional and classic elegance. 

Three-stone Setting: The Meaningful and Romantic

This setting features three stones that are said to represent the “past, present, and future,” of the couple’s relationship and bond. The three-stone setting highlights a larger center stone flanked by two smaller stones on both sides; each stone speaks for every chapter in the relationship. This setting masters the perfect combination of elegance and symbolism–making this a romantic choice when it comes to telling your beautiful story. 

If you are looking for a sentimental piece for your engagement ring that will meaningfully symbolize your journey together, this setting is definitely the right one. 

Invisible Setting: The Modern and Beautiful 

This setting is excellent for its advanced technique that requires advanced craftsmanship where precious stones are set very closely together making the stones appear as if they are seamlessly connected. This is appreciated by many because of its flawless, high-end look that truly emits extra brilliance. 

If you’re looking for a ring that has a modern and appealing look at the same time, the quality and beauty of an invisible setting won’t disappoint you. 

Although each engagement ring setting style has its own appeal, beauty, and characteristics, always remember that the top priority in choosing the perfect engagement style is what will resonate with your preferences, love story, and bond as a couple, regardless of the style, the design, and the price because all engagement rings from LVNA are made to speak for a unique story of every couple and is meant to be the symbol of their love and commitment for a lifetime.
