classic Inspired Engagement Rings

Engagement rings inspired by classic

The classic style solitaire engagement ring pictured above, is without a doubt, the most popular engagement ring of the modern age. The classic solitaire was first introduced in the late 1800’s and was designed to highlight the diamond by setting it high up on the finger, on a thinner ring than was typical of the time period. Brian Gavin’s version of the classic style engagement ring is designed with a six prong crown which is set on top of a ring which tapers from about 2.3 mm down to 2.0 mm. This ring looks absolutely incredible set with a Brian Gavin Signature or Brian Gavin Blue (fluorescent) round diamond!

A popular variation of this ring is the Knife Edge classic style solitaire which features the same style of prongs, with a band which has an outer edge which comes out to more of a point.

Traditional six prong classic style solitaire:

The traditional six prong classic style solitaire which most people are accustomed to seeing in their local jewelry store is not as intricate as the classic style solitaire pictured above, it looks more like the ring pictured to the left, which features a more straightforward six prong head which is set on top of a delicate looking band. One thing to keep in mind when shopping around for these rings is that this particular ring style is made in different qualities, ranging from extremely light weight / promotional which obviously cost less because of the lighter gold or platinum weight, to the heavier quality we use at Brian Gavin.

This ring style is also available as a four prong traditional style classic solitaire, which features the same style of ring shank, with a four prong head.

classic Inspired Diamond Anniversary Bands:

A classic inspired diamond anniversary band is one of the most beautiful accompaniments to a solitaire style engagement ring. This bead set diamond anniversary band from Brian Gavin is available in different widths which are based upon the sizes of diamonds used to make the ring. We also offer a wide selection of diamond anniversary bands which are set with diamonds on the top half of the ring only, whereas a diamond eternity ring is set with diamonds that run all the way around the band. Diamond bands like this one are prong set, but we also offer bands which are channel set and bar set.
