Until we started looking at engagement rings, I had no idea how many different options there were! I never really pictured what mine would look like and I actually ended up changing my setting before the wedding. Here are a few of the beautiful sparkly options...but really there are SO many more not shown here!Here we have a round center stone with channel set diamonds in the band (by: ArtCarved)
A trend that is somewhat popular is using multi-color stones (by: Leigh Jay Nacht)
In terms of side stones, there are one side stone on either side, seen on this one (by: Mark Schneider Design)
Or this one with two side stones on either side (by: ArtCarved) 
Another option is to have pave diamonds around the band; seen here (by: Ritani)
This one I found struck me as very unique with it's swirly patterns (by Vanna K)
Another widely popular option is a vintage style ring (by: Timeless Designs)
And, of course, the ever classic...solitaire (by: ArtCarved)
What I have for MY ring...Emerald cut center stone with diamonds on the band, pave style
What kind of setting do you have? Was it what you always wanted? Did your fiance/husband pick it out himself?All inspiration pictures courtesy of The Knot

Love your ring! I have an emerald cut as well and I love it! I may have hinted (basically told) around what I wanted...that's the best way to do it! ;)
Your ring is so beautiful and dainty..does it ever get caught on anything? My other fav here is the Vanna K swirly ring.
6 months before he proposed we went "browsing"..basically told him I preferred to have either white gold or platinum and a solitaire. He and his dad went to a local jewelers and he ended up picking up the diamond and the setting all by himself and put together a beautiful solitaire, round stone with 4 prong setting. I couldnt ask for anything more beautiful :-)
Can you do a post regarding the task of picking out bands to go with e-rings? :-) It's going to be hard task!
Diamonds are a girls best friend :)
Love your ring
Your ring is beautiful!
I have a 1.5K solitaire. My wedding band is an eternity band. I love it. I helped him pick it out.
Your ring is so pretty.
My engagement ring is my grandmothers's solitaire as my center stone (round, brilliant) with a smaller round brilliant on either side & then smaller diamonds channel set. My band is a channel set band.
I love them!
Your ring is gorgeous!!! My dream ring is emerald cut.. I am honored to be wearing his granny's ring for the first couple years :)
your ring is sooo pretty! mine is a 1.2 round solitaire with .8 triangle sapphires on each side! I love that mine is a little different!

Your ring is gorgeous! My hubby picked out my ring all by himself. I was impreseed. Mine is a round cut center stone that was his grandmothers diamond with 3 round diamonds on each side. My band had 7 round cut diamonds. He did a great job and I love it :)
I'm a halo girl myself, but if I went solitaire, it totally would have been emerald cut. My old coworker had one and I was obsessed with it. Yours is BEAUTIFUL!
Ok and really... this was such ring porn! I think I love most rings!!!

LOVE them all! I still love looking at engagement rings, even after being married for 5 yrs! My mister picked mine out ALL by himself. He knew a bit what I liked, but went out and did it on his own and I LOVE it. Princess cut, platinum with two tiny diamonds on each side. He done good :)
I specifically have started LOVING the vintage ones with the diamonds around the main stones. BEAUTY. Have a great day girlie!
Oh engagement rings! I went shopping last Feb and showed my bf what I liked I ended up picking out a solitare 2 ct ring, with two channel set bands .75 total weight. Ahhh I wish it would show up soon!!
I have a round soliatare and I love it. I do love all the other ones as well, but it is just classic. I do want a huge amethyst with alot of diamonds and I would wear it like an engagement ring. My hubby could have gotten by with buying me a semi-precious stone rather than a diamond!
Love rings and LOVE yours!
I have a round tiffany set diamond with 3 diamonds on either side. My band has diamonds and bends just a bit under the engagement ring.
I initially had a band that was made to fit the ring, but we changed last minute because I wanted to make sure my band didn't look weird by itself.
Here's a picture of my ring...

I always thought I wanted an emerald cut, they are so classy looking, but when I found this one, I knew it was it. Plus it cost half of what our budget was! Yes, I picked it out. People always ask me if it's an antique, it's not, but I love that it looks that way. It's timeless and definitely something I'll want to hand down to future generations.
You ring is soo gorgeous! Def. my top pick if I were to get engaged! Simply beautiful!
I like the classic solitaire! I'm a traditional girl at heart....
My ring originally belonged to my Gram...Gramps bought it in 1954 for $150! I knew that eventually I would get the ring, but my Gram surprised me by giving it to Marmot, and he proposed to me with it!
I love this post - I love diamonds period. haha :)
My ring is oval, kind of a little different but i hear it's making a comeback. It was a lot more popular in like the 40s and 50s i think.
I really like a classic solitaire because I am pretty traditional, but just wanted something a teeny bit different, even though I like traditional. Also, i have long fingers, so a longer cut seemed like the perfect fit. Plus, its what my mom has!
He picked it out. I think i sorta hinted that I liked oval... but we never discussed it in detail.
Now i have to pick out my wedding band. to match the engagement band or not to match, that is the question.
Very pretty! We have similar rings, same setting excpept for mine is a round stone set in 4 prongs.
They are all stunning. I got a gold one when I got married 11 years ago but if I got engaged again I would definitely go for the white gold.
