Each differs in where the detail sits and how the centre diamond is presented.<\/p><\/div><\/details><details class=\"cs-rs-fq\"><summary>What is the difference between a ring style and a diamond shape?<\/summary><div class=\"cs-rs-fa\"><p>A style describes the setting &mdash; how the diamond is held and decorated, such as a solitaire or halo. A shape describes the cut of the diamond itself, such as round or oval. The same style can look very different with a different shape.<\/p><\/div><\/details><details class=\"cs-rs-fq\"><summary>What is the most timeless engagement ring style?<\/summary><div class=\"cs-rs-fa\"><p>The solitaire is the most enduring choice because it keeps all the attention on a single diamond and suits any era. That said, &ldquo;timeless&rdquo; is personal &mdash; a classic three stone or halo can feel just as lasting.<\/p><\/div><\/details><details class=\"cs-rs-fq\"><summary>What is the difference between a halo and a hidden halo?<\/summary><div class=\"cs-rs-fa\"><p>A halo surrounds the visible outline of the centre stone with small diamonds, so it is seen from above. A hidden halo places those diamonds beneath the centre stone, so the detail is mostly seen from the side.<\/p><\/div><\/details><details class=\"cs-rs-fq\"><summary>What is a pav&eacute; engagement ring?<\/summary><div class=\"cs-rs-fa\"><p>Pav&eacute; describes small diamonds set closely along the band to create a continuous line of sparkle. It is often paired with a solitaire, halo or hidden halo centre.<\/p><\/div><\/details><details class=\"cs-rs-fq\"><summary>What is a three stone engagement ring?<\/summary><div class=\"cs-rs-fa\"><p>A three stone ring sets a centre diamond between two supporting stones. The design is balanced and is often associated with the idea of past, present and future.<\/p><\/div><\/details><details class=\"cs-rs-fq\"><summary>What is a Toi et Moi ring?<\/summary><div class=\"cs-rs-fa\"><p>A Toi et Moi ring features two principal stones within one design, frequently in two contrasting shapes. It is often associated with two people brought together.<\/p><\/div><\/details><details class=\"cs-rs-fq\"><summary>Can I combine different engagement ring styles?<\/summary><div class=\"cs-rs-fa\"><p>Yes. Many rings blend features &mdash; for example an oval solitaire with a pav&eacute; band, or a hidden halo with side stones. A bespoke design lets you combine the details you love.<\/p><\/div><\/details><details class=\"cs-rs-fq\"><summary>Which engagement ring styles work with wedding bands?<\/summary><div class=\"cs-rs-fa\"><p>Most styles pair well with a wedding band, though halos, three stone and raised settings may suit a shaped or contoured band so it sits flush. A solitaire is usually the easiest to match.<\/p><\/div><\/details><details class=\"cs-rs-fq\"><summary>Can I customise an engagement ring style?<\/summary><div class=\"cs-rs-fa\"><p>Yes. Through our bespoke service you can combine elements from different styles, choose your diamond shape and adjust proportions to create a ring that is entirely your own.<\/p><\/div><\/details>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<style>\n\t\t.cs-rs{max-width:1100px;margin:26px auto 20px;padding:0
