At Morgan & Co, helping couples create their dream diamond engagement ring is one of the most rewarding parts of what we do. There’s something magical about crafting a piece that symbolises love, commitment, and a lifetime of shared memories. Whether you're newly engaged or planning the perfect proposal, understanding the styles, settings, and cuts is the first step toward finding the ring.

Discovering the Perfect Style

Choosing the right diamond engagement ring starts with understanding the style that best suits you or your partner. From classic solitaires to intricate vintage designs, there’s a ring for every taste —

• Classic Solitaires: Timeless and elegant, this style places the diamond centre stage.
• Halo Settings: Surrounding the centre diamond with smaller stones creates extra sparkle and makes the centre stone appear larger.
• Three-Stone Rings: Symbolising your past, present, and future, this style offers meaningful beauty.
• Modern and Minimalist Designs: Sleek and understated, these rings are perfect for contemporary couples.
• Vintage-Inspired Rings: With ornate details and intricate designs, these rings capture the charm of bygone eras.
   

Exploring Settings for Your Diamond Engagement Ring

The setting not only enhances the diamond’s beauty but also reflects the wearer’s lifestyle and preferences —

• Prong Setting: Classic and versatile, prongs hold the diamond securely while allowing light to maximise its brilliance.
• Bezel Setting: A modern option that encases the diamond in a protective metal rim—ideal for active lifestyles.
• Pavé Setting: Tiny diamonds set along the band add an extra touch of sparkle.
• Cathedral Setting: With elegant arches, this design elevates the diamond and adds a touch of drama.
• Tension Setting: The diamond appears to float between the band, a modern and striking option.

Choosing the Right Diamond Cut

The diamond cut is arguably the most important factor in determining a ring’s brilliance and sparkle. At Morgan & Co, we guide our clients through each cut to find the one that best suits their style —

• Round Brilliant: The most popular and sparkly choice, perfect for classic designs.
• Oval: A modern twist on the round cut, offering a flattering elongated shape.
• Cushion: A vintage-inspired cut with soft, rounded corners and a timeless feel.
• Marquise: Eye-catching and unique, this cut maximises carat weight with its elongated shape.
• Radiant: A combination of brilliance and clean lines, ideal for those who love sparkle.

In late 2024 and as we enter 2025 we are seeing the most popular engagement ring cut and style is emerald and radiant. The rectangle shapes of these cuts elongates the finger and gives a lovely spread of diamond over the finger. Oval cut diamonds are still incredibly popular and we are seeing a lot of more chunky bands and settings as we role into 2025 for engagement ring trends. 
 

The Importance of Diamond Education

Investing in a diamond engagement ring isn’t just about selecting the most beautiful option—it’s about making an informed decision. At Morgan & Co, we believe in empowering our clients with knowledge about the 4Cs —

1. Cut: Impacts the diamond’s sparkle and brilliance.
2. Colour: The less colour, the rarer the diamond.
3. Clarity: A measure of internal inclusions and external blemishes.
4. Carat: Refers to the diamond’s weight and size.

We exclusively offer certified, ethically sourced diamonds, including natural and lab-grown options. This ensures you know exactly what you’re purchasing, giving you peace of mind and confidence in your choice. Before we source your forever diamond, our team at Morgan & Co will expertly guide you through diamond education so you are fully informed about what you are spending your money on.
