Twist Engagement Rings

Twist engagement rings provide an added dimension to a very simple style of ring. There are a few designs that take the simple four claw setting and provide that little extra bit of detail, without taking the emphasis of the diamond or diamonds. Take for example the above designs. There is a solitaire version and a three stone diamond version of the diamond four claw cross over twist design. The three stone version might even provide an add-on after a few years of marriage, complementing the solitaire if this was purchased as an engagement ring. The three stone example of a particular weight will form an added incentive for those saving money, since any particular diamond weight (eg. the 1ct version) will be less expensive than the solitaire version by spreading the overall diamond weight between the three diamonds.

Twist style engagement rings such as this are both functional, secure and simple. They represent an extremely successful style of engagement ring and few men go far wrong in this choice for any special occasion.

 

 

 

 

 

  

Cluster Rings

Elaborate engagement rings can assume a variety of forms, from intricate solitaire rings, to settings with more unusual design features such as sweeping diamond shoulders. This particular ring falls somewhere between the cluster rings and solitaire rings that we are all so enamoured by. With the central 6mm diamond as the centre of the ring, the ring is embellished with additional diamonds in a circular arrangement around the central four claw setting and along the shoulders. The design is intricate yet still fairly simple. It is possible to create this with a range of diamond qualities, but this particular example has been set with F colour diamonds. The whiteness compliments the whiteness of the setting and is perfectly balanced for an overall look of sophistication.

 

Simple Six Claw Solitaire Ring Designs

Keeping it simple is indeed a rule to live by. Simplicity can sometimes be the best option, but it need not be boring. When it comes to that all important engagement ring, the solitaire ring does just this. It consists of a simple setting holding a single diamond. You are after all spending a great deal of money on the stone and not on the metal surrounding the stone. The diamond provides the fire and the last thing you want is for the attention to move to the ring, away from the stone. In the same way that Italian cuisine keeps the food simple, the classic solitaire keeps the ring simple. Subtle design variations can add that extra interest though, such as those designs featured above. Each design is a simple 6 claw solitaire ring. But each design is different.

Believe it or not, there are many different types of square diamond cut. The most popular, and the one that will spring to mind for most people is the Princess cut diamond. Princess cut engagement rings are probably next most popular behind round brilliant cut diamond engagement rings.

The variation of styles is enormous. Many of these styles are influenced by the four cornered shape of the stone. A diamond has to be secured by claws that are both delicate, non-intrusive yet secure. Too heavy and the ring looks clumsy. Too delicate and you risk the ring becoming damaged or even worse, the stone lost.

The princess cut diamond solitaire is a popular choice for an engagement ring. Some of the most attractive designs work on the theory that little is best. Keep to simpliciy in the design and the attention will be focused on the diamond.

 With small features, such as crossover shoulders, it is possible to provide simplicity and individuality in engagement rings. The Lucida style of setting shown in the images here is one such design. The four simple claws are secure yet delicate. The straight shoulders give the ring a substantial look but not too heavy for the design. This particular ring features a 0.50cts diamond. This would measure 4.5mm ideally.

Available from Serendipity Diamonds, the focus is on a beautiful finish with an appropriately sized diamond, beatifully cut. The results speak for themselves.

Take a nicely cut oval diamond. Set it into a simple, elegant four claw setting. Choose a design that allows light to freely enter the stone. Maybe select a style that uses the princess cut in a slightly different way to many of the styles of engagement rings available.

The result?

Well, if you have chosen a design such as that above, the chances are you will be the proud owner of a stunning diamond engagement ring that will remain stylish and will never date. Such simple styles incorporate gently tapering shoulders and hold the diamond off the finger. This allows light in and raises the stone to a position that concentrates the focus on the diamond itself.

Variations are available on this style, which can be set with any one of a number of sizes and combinations of diamond quality.
