About The Designer Diamond Engagement Ring

Have you ever wondered how some people can afford to buy a designer diamond engagement ring? The truth is that unusual rings set with diamonds are not that uncommon. The key is to choose an off colored stone or an unusual setting.

The most traditional setting for an engagement ring is the three stone style (a solitaire surrounded by baguettes or round stones) and the three pronged Tiffany style which features a solitary stone on three or four prongs standing at some height above the hand. In essence, your first step to choosing a designer diamond engagement ring is to avoid these two traditional styles.

Instead choose an eternity ring which features three interlocking gold bands (sometimes the bands are different types of gold such as rose, gold and white) paved with diamonds or an Irish Claddugh ring. The Claddugh ring is bridal jewelery that features a heart shaped gem flanked by two hands and topped with a crown also set with jewels.

For a look that is reminiscent of an antiquity choose the bezel or half bezel style. In this style of designer diamond engagement ring the stone looks as if it is wearing a collar of metal and it is more deeply embedded into the band. This type of ring is ideal for the woman with a very active lifestyle as the diamond is well protected.

For a truly unique designer diamond engagement ring try going for a vintage cocktail ring in a style from the Edwardian, Art Nouveau or Art Deco Eras.
