Solitaire Engagement Rings: A Classic Choice

A solitaire engagement ring is a ring that features just one solitary stone -- hence the name. It's a very traditional and popular setting. Generally, the single stone is a diamond, although you can purchase a solitaire engagement ring with a different stone. Round cut diamonds and princess cut diamonds are popular for solitaires, but you can choose other favorite diamond shapes as well.

Three-Stone Engagement Ring Settings

Three-stone engagement rings are meant to represent the past, present, and future of your relationship. Traditionally, these rings had a larger center diamond with two equally-sized, smaller diamonds, with one on each side of the center diamond. However, nowadays, it's not uncommon to see a ring with three equally-sized diamonds. There is also the option to choose a ring with a center diamond and different stones on the side, such as colored stones for a unique look.

Halo & Double Halo Engagement Rings

Halo engagement rings feature a center diamond. There is a circle of smaller diamonds around the center diamond, or sometimes there are two circular halos. These rings can be quite flashy and can look a bit bigger than they really are, even with a smaller diamond.

Pave Engagement Rings in Virginia Beach

A pave engagement ring's band is covered in diamonds that are set very close together, giving the ring a sparkly, impressive appearance. It can feature a center stone of any size or shape -- even smaller center diamonds can lead to an impressively sparkly ring because of the pave design. With an even bigger diamond, a pave engagement ring can be a real show stopper.

Bezel Engagement Rings at Hilltop Pawn

A bezel engagement ring has a rather unique look -- instead of protruding out of the ring, the stone is either completely or partially surrounded by the metal frame of the ring. This creates a very unique look that really shows off both your stone and the precious metal it's made from. It's also a good option if you're someone who is hard on your hands, since it helps protect your stone -- this is especially true if you choose a full bezel setting instead of a partial bezel setting.

There are other engagement ring settings that you can choose from, but these are some of the most popular. Consider your options and let our friendly staff help you with picking out the perfect ring...we'll help you save a ton of money in the process, too. Questions?
