Can you tell what makes these five engagement rings—all from Single Stone, one of my favorite jewelers—a little bit different?
Engagement Ring 1
Style NLR12-25-16: Rose-Cut Yellow Diamond in Yellow Gold.
Engagement Ring 2
Style NLR12-71-13: Old-European-Cut Diamond in Rose Gold.
Engagement Ring 3
Style: NLR12-13-3: Old-European-Cut Diamond in Yellow Gold.
Engagement Ring 4
Style NLR12-5-6: Cushion-Cut Diamond in Yellow Gold.
Engagement Ring 5
Style NLR13-2-6: Old-European-Cut Diamond in Yellow Gold.
All the settings feature oxidized metal, which makes them a little more visually interesting than a ring with shiny new metal. Here are some side-by-side comparisons (from Single Stone's Instagram), if the difference isn't already abundantly clear.
