  • Find Out Her Ring Size
  • What to Do When You Don't Know Her Style
  • Find the Diamond Shape She Likes

Your fiancée has a jewelry style and you'll need to choose an engagement ring that fits her particular look. Maybe she loves lots of large, chunky jewelry with lots of stones or maybe she is more classic and understated with small rings and fine chains. If possible, bring in a photo of how she typically wears jewelry and this will help your salesperson find just the right engagement ring choices for you to browse.

What Setting Makes Sense?
Solitaire
Solitaire Ring

A solitaire setting is one with a single gemstone. It can be very large or petite. The prongs hold the diamond in the setting and allow the diamond to catch a lot of light, making the best of its sparkle.

Sidestone

With a sidestone setting, there is the main gemstone and then there is a smaller gem on each side of it. The gemstones on the side enhance the main gem and capture more light in the setting.

Three Stone

The three stone setting has three main stones, although the side stones are usually a little bit smaller than the gemstone in the middle. These gems represent the past, the present and the future.

Pavee

Using a pave setting will make the center diamond look much larger. The main diamond is surrounded with a halo of small round diamonds to enhance it and give the illusion of a larger center gemstone.
