Channel Set Engagement Rings

About & Features

Channel set engagement rings feature small brilliant diamonds embedded into the ring band on either side of the solitaire. The channels created on the band have metal lips that secure the smaller diamonds in place without the use of prongs.

This sophisticated design is also sturdy, with a thicker band and a raised solitaire setting. Although the classic round brilliant and princess cut diamonds are the most popular, other cuts like the oval or rectangular diamond can be used for the solitaire. The band is typically platinum or white gold as these tones compliment the color of the diamonds, and a look of endless luxury is created. The number and size of the flanking diamonds can be customized according to taste and budget.

A channel set wedding ring can be made to match the appearance of this striking engagement ring, with diamonds that are similar in size and shape to those that flank the solitaire.
