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.
