Engagement Ring Styles Explained
Solitaire, halo, three-stone, pavé, and vintage — find the setting that fits your story.
The setting is what gives a ring its personality. Here are the five most popular engagement ring styles, what makes each special, and who tends to love them.
Solitaire
A single stone on a clean band — the timeless classic. It puts all the focus on the center stone and never goes out of style. Shop solitaire rings.
Halo
A ring of small accent stones encircles the center, adding sparkle and making the main stone look noticeably larger — brilliant value for impact. Shop halo rings.
Three-stone
Two side stones flank the center, often said to represent past, present, and future. Symbolic and full of sparkle. Shop three-stone rings.
Pavé
Tiny stones set along the band add continuous shimmer that complements the center stone. Shop pavé rings.
Vintage
Milgrain detailing, filigree, and antique-inspired shapes for a romantic, heirloom feel. Shop vintage rings.
Tip: not sure which suits them? A solitaire or halo is the most universally loved starting point, and both look spectacular in moissanite.
