Marquise Diamond Engagement Rings
There has been a significant resurgence in the marquise-cut diamond over recent years. This type of diamond cut has been in and out of fashion several times but for 2024 and beyond it looks to be one of the most popular styles of engagement ring to choose from. Its elongated profile resembles a pear shape and consists of a total of 56 facets, enabling it to sparkle with great depth. For brides who want something a little different, the marquise diamond engagement ring is a strong choice. It makes for a spectacular alternative to the more common round or oval diamond shapes and is often a preferred choice for those with a love of modern designs.
A quick exploration of our marquise diamond engagement rings online here at C W Sellors will present designs like this 18ct yellow gold marquise diamond ring, holding a carat worth 0.42ct between its elegant, hollowed shoulders. The marquise diamond is also historically linked to royalty and is loved for its distinctive pointed ends.
Trilogy Engagement Rings
Trilogy rings are also called three-stone rings. They are a popular style of engagement ring and have a fascinating history to explore. This particular design proved popular during the Victorian era but surprisingly, has been around since as early as ancient Egypt. Who’d have thought that such a popular ring design today could have stood the test of time in such a way? Trilogy diamond engagement rings have a timeless appeal. They present a couple’s love story; the past, the present and the future.
The design captures the notion that love transitions effortlessly as time goes on, each stone as significant as the other. The diamonds of a trilogy ring are often set within a claw design or a bezel setting. One other advantage of the three-stone engagement ring is the versatility of the stone types that can feature in them. Explore our trilogy diamond engagements ring collection today and find the perfect design to represent the past, present and future love story between you and your partner.
Shoulder Set Diamond Engagement Rings
The addition of scintillating diamonds set into the shoulder of an engagement ring, as well as the centrepiece itself, should not be overlooked. If you don’t like large diamond centrepieces, this is one of the subtlest ways to add extra sparkle to your ring without going overboard. Each small stone is set with precision into the shoulders of the diamond ring to create a beautiful, elegant finish. The style of a shoulder set engagement ring can vary drastically from straight shoulders to tapering shoulders, to channel set shoulders for a more contemporary look.
If you’re undecided about whether a diamond shoulder engagement ring design is right for you, peruse our collection and see which designs catch your eye. Our on-hand sales team at C W Sellors are more than happy to answer any questions. Make sure you pop us a question (provided at the bottom of this article) should you require a little guidance in finding your dream design.
Gemstone engagement Rings
Of course, those who like colour will love the idea of a gemstone engagement ring. This style of ring can offer a mix of diamonds and gemstones or feature just the one gemstone of your choice. Gemstone engagement rings are always a great option if you want your chosen design to tell a special story. Maybe you want the gemstone that represents the month you both met or your partner’s birthstone.
Gemstone engagement rings are perfect for adding a pop of colour to the hand and can be as subtle or as eye-catching as you like. From a personality, uniqueness and cost point of view, this style of engagement ring will symbolise the sentiment behind your chosen design and allow you to express yourself through its beauty.
Halo Diamond Engagement Rings
Could there be a more enchanting design than the halo diamond engagement ring? This style of diamond setting can come as a double or triple halo design too and is certainly growing in popularity year by year. But if you’re undecided about which type of engagement ring style you want, you’ll want to know what makes this particular style so popular. Well, the halo, as its name suggests, features a row of surrounding round brilliant-cut diamonds on the outskirts of a larger central diamond, creating a halo-like effect. The combination of the central stone and the surrounding stones gives the impression of a much larger centrepiece, constituting a grander finish on the finger.
The halo diamond engagement ring is best suited to those brides-to-be who like their jewellery to be dazzling and standout. When browsing our collection of halo diamond engagement ring collection here at C W Sellors, you’ll notice several unique designs that have been crafted here in-house, within our workshops. Each meticulously crafted design gives that innate sense of exclusivity, with designs to be explored in white gold and yellow gold to name but a few.
Vintage Engagement Rings
Perhaps we have royalty to thank for the appeal of the vintage engagement ring. After all, Kate Middleton caught the attention of her faithful fans when she flaunted her beautiful sapphire design, a romantic gesture from William and a sentimental piece of jewellery that the late Diana wore herself. Vintage-inspired engagement rings boast the modernity of lustrous materials like white gold and platinum but still display a high level of intricate finishings like beaded effects, engravings, and millgrain finishes.
Our collection of vintage-inspired engagement rings includes designs like this 18ct white gold emerald-cut diamond halo ring featuring a large bezel-set stone in the middle, surrounded by bezel-set round brilliant-cut diamonds. The result is spectacular, drawing the eye towards the centre of the design and showcasing a breathtaking array of light and panache.
Solitaire Diamond Engagement Rings
Last but not least is the ageless solitaire diamond engagement ring. This style of ring is never going to tire of its beauty and allure. It’s one of the most simple and timeless designs you can choose from, and our collection here at C W Sellors is brimming with ideas for you to peruse.
Choose from yellow gold, white gold and rose gold designs, not to mention platinum. The solitaire ring is also cost-effective for those looking to shop on a budget for their engagement ring, as well as incredibly versatile. Thanks to the simplicity of this design and the lack of details surrounding the diamond centrepiece itself, the stone can let maximum light into its faceted edges for a spectacular showcase of brilliance and scintillation.
