Top Holiday Inspired Engagement Ring Settings

The Holiday season is an incredibly romantic time to get engaged. You're with your family, you're celebrating together, what could be a more perfect setting for a proposal? Here are a few unique engagement ring setting designs that are especially fitting for a romantic holiday proposal:

 

• The prong setting is a perhaps the most popular engagement ring setting, favored for its  elegance, sophisticated design and, most importantly, its versatility. The prong setting is composed of a delicate metal backing that cradles the center stone's culet (its lower portion) and 4-8 finely wrought metal prongs which grip the center stone's table (its upper portion), holding it securely in place. This type of setting can be manipulated and reformed to accommodate virtually any size and shape center stone, which accounts for this setting's versatility. Its flexibility makes it the perfect setting for a holiday inspired engagement ring, since it can house unusually shaped center stone (for example, a heart shaped stone for a Valentine's Day proposal, a tree shaped stone for a Christmas engagement, etc.)

 

• A cluster setting is perfect for a holiday inspired engagement ring. Cluster settings are intricate setting designs that arrange the diamonds and or/other precious gemstones in intriguing, tantalizing geometrical pattern which can resemble virtually any shape imaginable. A star shaped setting for Christmas or a bunny shaped setting for Easter are all doable with a cleverly designed cluster setting.

 

• A journey setting incorporates three consecutively set diamonds, mounted onto a channel, bezel or prong setting. The journey setting is imbued with sentimentality as the three set precious gemstones are meant to represent the past, present and future of a couple's relationship. The journey engagement ring setting is an amazing ring design to give to a loved one on Christmas or Valentine's Day.

 

•  A rose gold setting is extremely romantic and sentimental. Rose gold is a type of yellow gold that has been mixed with copper to produce a warm hued, rose tinted metallic alloy instilled which with sentiment. The rose gold's romantic and singular hue makes it the perfect metal to use in a holiday inspired engagement ring setting.

 

• Green and red gold settings are perfect for Christmas proposals. These colorful gold alloys add a touch of whimsy and playfulness to an otherwise ordinary engagement ring and are a great way of personalizing your very own holiday inspired engagement ring.

 

• Cocktail ring settings are great in holiday inspired engagement rings. The cocktail setting features a multitude of precious and semi-precious gemstones arranged around a larger center stone. The cocktail setting is especially delightful when set with colorful, vibrant gemstones, such as emeralds and rubies to represent the Christmas holiday, red diamonds and pink sapphires for Valentine's and powder blue sapphires and glimmering yellow citrines for Easter.

 

• Custom made settings are often used in holiday inspired engagement rings. Since custom made engagement ring settings can be soldered into virtually any shape, custom designs are extremely popular for special occasions. A star shaped pave settings or a heart shaped channel setting are just a couple of examples for clever holiday inspired engagement ring settings designs.
