If you have made the decision to get married, you need to understand that there are a variety of different engagement ring styles that you can select from in this day and age. 

One of the most popular of settings for an engagement ring is the solitaire.  The solitaire is designed to really set off the diamond itself.  A four prong setting will display more of the diamond while a six prong setting does add a bit more security.

A second option that is available is one that includes side-stones.  Such settings are designed to add additional color or sparkle to the ring itself.  Additional light enters through the side stones due to the bar channel design which creates a lively sloping edge for added brilliance.

A third option when it comes to engagement ring style is very attractive three stone setting.  The concept behind a three stone setting is to represent one stone for the past, another stone for the present and another stone yet for the future.

Finally, when it comes to selecting an engagement ring you need to keep in mind that you can also obtain a wedding band or ring that will match (or compliment) the engagement ring itself.
