Round Cut Engagement Rings

Prong: The diamond ring’s prongs may be little, but they play a big role in the stone’s security and brilliance. Diamonds are expensive, so you want sturdy prongs to hold your round diamond in place. The prongs also allow enough light exposure to the diamond to enhance its brilliance.

• Halo: A halo diamond ring is a setting that has a center diamond in a collection of round pavé or micro-pavé diamonds. These pavé stones flash with light and focus the attention on the center diamond. This creates interest and draws attention to the diamond ring. The halo adds sparkle and gives the illusion of a larger center diamond. Halo settings offer elegance, luxury, and plenty of sparkle.
• Bezel: Bezel settings provide a sleek and modern look for a round diamond. The bezel setting has a ring of metal that holds the diamond in place. This ring of metal overlaps a bit over the edges of the stone. This keeps it safe and protected. It can also give the illusion of a larger center diamond–especially if the metal matches the center stone.

Within each setting at With Clarity, you have varying options depending on the design. You could choose the band's width or the size of the center stone.

While you browse for settings, select the type of metal you want. Choose from a 14K or 18K yellow, rose, or white gold; you can also go for platinum. The metal impacts the ring's look, so select one that looks good with your center stone and represents your style and preferences.

Once you have the setting, it’s time to select what type of diamond you want. You can choose between natural and lab diamonds. Natural diamonds offer a classic appeal, while lab made diamonds offer a more affordable, sustainable diamond alternative that sparkles like a natural diamond. You can filter the type of diamonds based on the cut quality, color, clarity, and carat to ensure you get the perfect diamond. You have plenty of choices!
