As a company that specialises in bespoke designed engagement ring settings, there is always something new, beautiful and entirely unique coming through our workshop. So it is with great pleasure that I am able to share with you, my favourite engagement ring settings.

Nothing says classical sophistication like a solitaire engagement ring. There’s a reason why this engagement ring style represents around 70% of the engagement ring market and it’s not hard to see why when celebrities like Gisele Bundchen, Victoria Beckham, Jennifer Aniston, and Mila Kunis opt for these timeless treasures.

The modern lady embraces innovative trends and unique design elements to create her own adaptation of a traditional style or design. These unique design elements can include stone orientation, stone shapes, claw shapes and elements from other eras like Edwardian and Art Deco.

If your significant other is a traditionalist, with a classic dress sense, there are a variety of engagement ring styles you could choose from. The ideal style of ring is bold without being flashy, and simple without being unimaginative.

For lovers of all things antique, a vintage engagement ring to match this is an apt choice as a contemporary take on engagement rings from years gone by. There are many different elements that can be altered and personalised to achieve a one-of-a-kind engagement ring to embrace the most beautiful eras of design.

While a claw setting is the most popular setting choice for a diamond engagement ring, they are not always recommended for those whose work or hobbies require them to use their hands.
