If you are engagement ring shopping, you might have wondered what the most popular settings and styles are with today’s couples. While the exact engagement ring you choose is a personal decision based on many factors, most couples appreciate knowing the most popular engagement rings while making their decision.
Since purchasing an engagement ring is a big step both emotionally and financially, it is a purchase you will want to get right. Just like buying a car or putting a down payment on a house, it’s best to explore all your options and go into it informed.
At Diamonds Ltd., we’ve been helping the El Cajon-area say “I do” for more than 40 years. Today we are sharing the top engagement ring settings and styles that today’s brides are loving.
The Most Popular Engagement Ring Styles
Trending Engagement Ring Style #1: Solitaire
The traditional and most popular style, solitaire engagement rings showcase the dazzling beauty of a single diamond or gemstone. If you are looking for a classic, traditional engagement ring that radiates elegance and simplicity, a solitaire engagement ring might be right for you.
In a solitaire engagement ring, the diamond takes center stage, unlike a halo engagement ring or three-stone engagement ring with more stones in center focus. This engagement ring style is typically paired with a prong setting to maximize the sparkle.
Many couples are surprised to learn that a solitaire engagement ring setting can work with any diamond shape— from round to emerald to heart! With a single center diamond, this ring style is a classic choice that never go out of style.
Trending Engagement Ring Style #2: Halo
Halo engagement rings are perfect for brides looking for a romantic, classic look. This engagement ring style is perfect for anyone wanting to maximize their center diamond— even making it appear a much larger carat size than it actually is.
A halo engagement ring features a halo of smaller diamonds surrounding a larger center diamond. Unlike a solitaire engagement ring that showcases a single diamond, the halo engagement ring style pulls out all the stops to shine. This style can accommodate any diamond shape and works well with everything from emerald to pear to heart shape stones! Halos even flatter three-stone engagement rings, adding an irresistible appeal we can’t get enough of. Mix it up further with a double or triple halo, even adding colored gemstones or diamonds in one halo!
If you are attracted to styles with maximum sparkle and a classic appeal, this style might be right for you.
Trending Engagement Ring Style #3: Three-Stone
If you tend to be sentimental or the other two diamond styles aren’t winning your heart, a three stone engagement ring might be right for you. This style is a meaningful style to choose to celebrate your love story for all that it was yesterday, all that it is today, and all that it will be tomorrow. The three stones in this setting are also known to symbolize friendship, love and fidelity. Three stone engagement rings are also commonly known as trilogy or trinity rings.
Unlike a solitaire engagement ring with one main diamond or gemstone, three stone engagement rings feature three main stones, which can all be the same size or cascading.
Your three-stone engagement ring can take form in all shapes, sizes, colors, and gemstones. The options of customizing your dream ring are endless— meaning your engagement ring can truly be as unique as your own love story.

“Thank you Bob and Peggy Zwibel. My husband surprised me with stunning diamond earrings from your store for my birthday.
I absolutely love them!Lena, the store manager, and Elizabeth, were both extremely knowledgeable, helpful and patient through the entire process. I originally thought that I wanted a rose gold setting, however after seeing the beautiful stones, I realized that white gold would enhance the diamonds so much more.
My husband contacted Lena and she said absolutely no problem to bring them in and they would make the change. I got them back in half the time they said it would take. Wow! When we went to pick them up, the store was a little busy, but everyone was so attentive and oooh’d and aahh’d about how fantastic the diamonds looked when I put them on!! YAY! Aren’t I such a lucky lady!
Thank you to everyone at Diamonds Limited! We are customers for life!
I can’t wait for my next diamond surprise…too soon? :-)” — Deb B. on Yelp
