We’ve reviewed all of the various types and styles of diamond rings in the past, but a quick refresher course never hurt anyone. Knowing the various styles of diamond rings not only gives you a better sense of the meanings and the traditions behind the various diamond rings, it also gives you a better idea of which styles of diamond rings may suit you best.
The simplest of all diamond rings is the solitaire diamond ring. Most commonly used for engagement purposes, solitaire diamond rings feature a single diamond set in either a plain metal band or one that is slightly more ornate. The stones in these types of diamond rings can literally be any size or shape, as the ring itself can be made to accommodate rather easily.
The next choice in diamond rings is the three stone ring. A step up from solitaire diamond rings, three stone diamond rings feature a centre stone, flanked on either side by two smaller shoulder stones. This style of ring can be used as an engagement ring, particularly for women looking for a little extra sparkle in their bridal jewellery set, but was intended for use as an anniversary ring. Designed to represent the past, present, and future of a couple’s relationship, three stone diamond rings are the ideal way to celebrate milestones in a relationship or even use for vow renewals.
For even more dazzling diamond rings, eternity rings may be your jewellery of choice. These breathtaking diamond rings features sparkling stones wrapped around the entire band of the ring. Eternity diamond rings are meant to symbolize the unending love between a man and a woman, or the eternal bond between a mother and child. Because of this, they are ideally used for anniversaries or to commemorate the arrival of a new child. Some couples also choose to use eternity diamond rings in place of traditional wedding bands. Eternity style diamond rings can also be used to stand in for both the engagement ring and wedding ring for couples who prefer a less cumbersome and more streamlined set.
