Engagement ring collection

Evergreen and elegant, these settings are like the classic silhouettes of the fashion world. You’ll find clean lines, but plenty of sparkle. Center stones steal the spotlight, but pave bands add to their glow. You’ll even find some vintage style touches on some settings, like milgrain metal work and delicate filigree. But rest assured, while they channel the past, these rings balance their antique elements with modern touches to stay truly timeless.

Contemporary settings use asymmetrical accent stone placement, geometrically woven metal, floating diamond accents, and twisting band styles to create utterly unique engagement rings. Your love is unique. It’s defined by its own little quirks. And that’s what you’ll find with this collection of engagement ring settings that spin classic styles into something completely new. They’ll steal your heart, just like she did.

Choosing a metal

Metal choice can give a completely different feel to your ring. The same style can look like an antique style engagement ring in yellow gold but a modern take on vintage in white gold. But we’re here to help you find the metal that perfectly fits your personal style.

Choosing a metal

YELLOW GOLD

Opt for 18 karat yellow gold for a rich color that channels past generations of engagement rings or go with 14 karat, which imparts a subtle warm glow to your whole ring. Yellow gold can even help make some lower color grade diamonds appear whiter, making it a savvy choice for getting your perfect ring on a dreamy budget.

WHITE GOLD

White gold is the flashiest of metal options. Both 14 and 18 karat white gold are remarkably resistant to scratching, with 14 just edging out 18 if you’re looking for the metal that gets top marks for durability. What you’re truly choosing between is color. While both options are known for their strong shine, 14 karat white gold is a bolder shade of white than 18.

ROSE GOLD

They say that rose gold is the one that symbolizes romantic love, and that might explain its popularity. Whatever it means to you, the metal does impart a romantic glow to your ring thanks to its copper alloy. Opt for 14 karat rose gold if you want a pinker hue and 18 karat rose gold if you’d like a look that’s closer to the color of champagne.

PLATINUM

Platinum is a perennial favorite for its strength and reliability. Where you lose gold when it’s scratched, the material is simply moved on a platinum ring. That means your ring is as good as new, and no worse for wear, with a quick professional polishing. Some people even like the distinctive look of wear on these rings, called platinum patina.

Perhaps most well-known of the 4Cs of diamonds, the carat of the stone is the measure of its weight. Diamond size is measured in millimeters, but each shape holds its weight differently. That means a princess cut diamond and a round diamond that both weigh 1 carat will have different measurements in millimeters.

Often mistaken for the diamond’s shape, cut is a measure of how well light can dance through the stone’s facets. That’s what gives them their irresistible sparkle and fire. Though there are four cut grades, With Clarity only carries the top three to make sure you get a diamond with maximum brilliance.

When diamonds form in nature, tiny imperfections called inclusions form in the stones. Clarity, which is graded from FL (flawless) to I (included) is a measure of how many of these imperfections are in a stone. But many of these imperfections can only be seen with magnification, which means your stone will still look gorgeous to your eye.
