Guide to Engagement Ring
Styles & Settings
Styles vs. Settings
When it comes to engagement rings, understanding the distinction between "styles" and "settings" is key. The "style" encompasses the overall aesthetic—whether it's sleek and modern or ornate and vintage-inspired. On the other hand, the "setting" refers to how the gemstones are mounted within the ring, comprising the "head" (top with gemstones) and the "shank" (encircling the finger).
Let's delve into the enchanting world of ring styles before exploring the common settings.
