The Top 10 Classic Engagement Rings

The diamond engagement ring has been a marriage tradition since 1477, and as you’d expect from such a long legacy, the idea of a ‘classic’ ring comes in several shapes and sizes. From the solitaire diamond to the three-stone setting, each of the rings we’ve chosen has a timeless element that will mean that your ring is destined to become a future heirloom, to be passed down through the family in the years to come.

Ritani 1RZ7286 Knife-Edge Solitaire Engagement Ring
There’s simply nothing more classic than a solitaire engagement ring, but this band adds a contemporary touch.

It’s a modern take on a classic design.

18k White Gold Vatche U-113 6-Prong Solitaire Engagement Ring

Vatche U-113 6-Prong Solitaire Engagement Ring
This 6 prong setting is commonly known as the Tiffany setting, and what could be more classic than something associated with this iconic jewelry house? The added advantage is that the 6 prongs keep the center diamond extra secure while accentuating the roundness of the center diamond.
