Engagement Ring Styles
Paragon Diamonds offers engagement rings across four main setting styles: solitaire, halo, trilogy, and pave, alongside a number of other options. Ring designs start from £1,200, with every style available in platinum and 18ct or 9ct yellow, white, and rose gold. All of our lab-grown and natural diamonds are IGI-certified and GIA-certified.
A setting style is chosen based on how the diamond catches light, how it wears day to day, and how it complements the hand. Below is a breakdown of the styles available at Paragon Diamonds, along with unique ring designs in our current collection.
Solitaire Settings
A solitaire setting places a single diamond at the centre of the ring, held by prongs or a bezel, with no additional stones. It is the classic engagement ring style, putting the diamond itself front and centre.
Claudia, from £1,200, and Sophia, from £1,245, are both solitaire designs, offering clean, minimal lines at accessible starting prices. Emily, from £1,450, is a solitaire with a pavé band and is Paragon Diamonds' best-selling design.
Halo Settings
A halo setting surrounds the centre stone with a border of smaller diamonds, adding visual impact and extra brilliance. Clara, from £1,600, features a classic oval centre stone framed by a round diamond halo. For added presence along the band, Ava, from £1,700, elevates an oval diamond with a cathedral setting, halo, and diamond-set shoulders, while Olivia, also from £1,700, pairs a pear-cut diamond with a subtle hidden halo and pave shoulders.
Trilogy Settings
A trilogy setting features three diamonds set side by side, traditionally symbolizing a couple's past, present, and future. Anna, starting from £1,850, offers a classic three-stone design, while Lucy and Skye round out the collection with subtle variations in setting profiles and side-stone pairings to suit different hand shapes and personal styles.
Pave Settings
A pave band is lined with small diamonds set close together, adding sparkle along the band itself. Mia combines a pave band with a central solitaire stone, giving extra brilliance without a second focal point.
Diamond Shapes
Every setting style can be paired with any of Paragon Diamonds' 10 diamond shapes: oval, round, princess, cushion, long cushion, emerald, pear, radiant, marquise, and asscher. Oval, pear, and long cushion shapes tend to elongate the finger, while round offers the maximum light return of any cut.
Lab-Grown and Natural Diamonds
Both lab-grown and natural diamonds are available across every style and shape. Lab-grown diamonds are typically 50 to 70% less costly than natural diamonds of the same specification, while sharing the same physical, chemical, and optical properties.
Every lab-grown diamond sold by Paragon Diamonds is exclusively IGI certified and laser-inscribed with its report number, visible only under a loupe. Natural diamonds carry a GIA certification as well.
