Bezel Setting
In a bezel setting, the gemstone is encircled by a metal rim that secures it in place. This modern style offers a sleek, contemporary look while providing excellent protection for the stone. Ideal for those who want a clean and modern design with enhanced durability.
Split Shank
The split shank engagement ring features a band that splits into two or more strands as it approaches the center stone. This design adds a modern and unique touch while still allowing the center stone to remain the focal point. Ideal for those who want a contemporary and stylish look.
Tension Setting
In a tension setting, the center stone is held in place by the pressure of the metal band rather than traditional prongs. This modern style gives the appearance that the stone is floating, creating a sleek and futuristic look. Perfect for those who appreciate innovative design.
