Halo Settings

If you want your ring to have a vintage mood, a diamond solitaire surrounded by a halo of shimmering diamonds is your dream piece. A dramatic halo setting is complimentary to every shape of stone from emerald to pear and round brilliant and creates added drama and dazzle. A wedding dress with an on-trend Basque waistline is the perfect partner for a halo setting.

Pear Diamond Engagement Ring

Victoria Beckham has a pear-shaped engagement ring in her collection (she’s been married for 25 years, and rumour has it she has 15 engagement rings), so this fancy cut is most definitely a fashion-forward choice. This shape has an old-world Hollywood feel but looks so perfect and fresh when set in a minimalist design. Wear it with a sleek slip dress for a look that’s pure wow.

The Three Stone Ring

This multi-stone configuration is loved for its fashionable flair. We love three-stone rings that play with fancy stones cuts (like pears and ovals) to create a sparkling statement piece. This setting is perfect for a bride with a romantic, luxe vibe. Meghan Markle’s three-stone engagement ring is one of the most famous examples of this setting, and her iconic Givenchy wedding dress by Claire Waight Keller was a perfect match for this statement style.
