Engagement Ring Styles

At Christopher Murphy Jewellers we design & custom make many different styles of engagement rings using a wide range of stones and metals.  We provide a service that is second to none and at a very affordable price.

Due to our low overheads, fair trading ethos and common sense approach,

An interesting way of buying an engagement ring is opting for a Semi Set ring.
Engagement rings without a centre stone.
You can then choose your preferred stone from a range of suitable diamonds and gemstones
from different price points depending on the 4 C’s of Diamonds.
Creating That Extra Personal Touch!

Solitaire Engagement Ring      In our opinion there are some classic wedding rings to suit the single stone engagement ring.  The first option is to use two diamond side stones set into a band of raised white gold boxes on a very slight curve; this allows the head of the engagement ring to sit neatly into it. If required or you really feel ‘your worth it’ you could go for a full sweep of diamonds around the solitaire giving you a very dramatic look.  Generally not for the faint hearted, but always Fabulous!

Three Stone Engagement Ring     Again, 2 simple stones both sides of the 3 stones can set off and compliment a nice engagement ring, once we pay attention to the small detail of the ratio between the 3 stones and the side stones, making sure the balance is right so the look and effect is correct.  But don’t worry that is where we make that call and advise and assist, because the fine detail is the most important thing in all our designs.

Fancy Engagement Ring     Usually the fancy ring with multiple shapes and cuts of diamonds in the head of the ring, usually look best with a variation of the same style in the wedding ring.  In our opinion it does not make sense to compete with a fabulous creation from New York or Dubai or where ever you purchased it.  Generally the rule should be, keep it simple and allow the engagement ring ‘do its thing’ and the wedding ring will act as a support with smaller stones as an effect rather than another big display of stones.

Twist Solitaries & Three Stone Engagement Rings      This type is not really a problem; follow the shape of your engagement ring with the wedding ring, usually some diamonds set into the band will enhance the engagement ring.  Setting as many stones as you think would achieve the look you want, sometimes one, three or even five stones spaced, always make a right statement.

Mix Three Stone Engagement ring      If you have a Princess or Emerald cut centre stone and two round sides the wedding ring can have either round or square support stones set in a curved band, to allow the engagement ring to sit in and look balanced.
