Best Tips For Choosing Engagement Ring Setting

  1. How many diamonds will your ring have?
    • The amount of diamonds you’ll have will influence the type of ring setting you choose. Some settings like the pave setting will make it easier to add more diamonds to your ring.
  2. Consider your wedding ring
    • Make sure you are thinking about what design you will go with for your wedding ring. Your wedding ring will have a big influence on what engagement ring setting you choose. Do you want rings that stack on top of each other? Do you want to wear a wedding band that matches your engagement ring? All these questions will help determine what engagement ring setting you choose. 
  3. What’s your lifestyle like?
    • Do you have an active lifestyle, do you use your hands a lot? A bezel setting might be the best option for you if you live a more active lifestyle since it encircles the diamond.
