Engagement Ring Styles Explained: Solitaire, Halo, Three-Stone and More
The setting you choose shapes how the diamond looks and how the ring feels to wear every day. Here are the most popular engagement ring styles and what makes each one special.
Solitaire
A single diamond on a plain band. It is the most classic style, puts all the attention on the center stone and pairs easily with almost any wedding band. Shop solitaire engagement rings.
Halo
A circle of small diamonds surrounds the center stone, adding sparkle and making it look larger. A halo is a good choice if you want maximum brilliance for your budget. Shop halo engagement rings.
Three stone
A center diamond with a smaller stone on each side, often said to stand for your past, present and future. Side stones can be round, pear-shaped, baguettes or colored gems. Shop three-stone engagement rings.
Vintage and antique-inspired
Detailed metalwork, milgrain edges and filigree give these rings a romantic, one-of-a-kind character. Shop vintage engagement rings.
Pavé
Tiny diamonds set closely along the band so it sparkles all the way around. Pavé works beautifully with a solitaire or halo center. Shop pavé engagement rings.
