Picking the diamond? Tough. Picking the setting? Even tougher. But don’t worry—Denver brides are making the choice a whole lot easier in 2025 with ring settings that are equal parts gorgeous, practical, and on-trend.
Whether you’re after timeless elegance or a setting that can survive a weekend hiking trip, these are the top engagement ring settings in Denver right now—and the ASJD handcrafted pieces bringing them to life.
1. Solitaire: Clean, Classic, and Always in Style
Sleek, elegant, and forever timeless—the solitaire is that girl. But in 2025, Denver brides are loving solitaire styles that add just enough modern edge to the classic silhouette.
The Setting:
Round Diamond Solitaire Pavé Band Engagement Ring Setting
This beauty features a brilliant round diamond secured by claw prongs for vintage-inspired drama. The pavé band adds a soft shimmer while keeping things elegant and unfussy. It’s designed to let the diamond shine, while still playing nicely with your wedding band thanks to its seamless nest-friendly structure.
Why Denver Brides Love It:
It’s effortlessly wearable, works with literally everything, and won’t get in the way during those impromptu trips to Vail or afternoon walks in Wash Park.
Best For:
The bride who wants classic with a hint of sparkle—and zero drama.
2. Halo: Maximum Sparkle, Minimum Effort
Think of the halo setting as the glow-up your center stone deserves. It surrounds your diamond with a ring of micro-pavé stones, delivering light, brilliance, and all the wow without breaking the budget.
The Setting:
Oval-Cut Diamond Halo Pavé Band Engagement Ring Setting
This ring features an elongated oval center stone wrapped in a glittering halo, with pavé diamonds continuing down the band. The result? All eyes on you. It’s refined, radiant, and handcrafted for modern brides who love a little extra sparkle.
Why Denver Brides Love It:
It offers high-impact shine without being over-the-top, and the halo helps smaller diamonds look larger—yes, please!
Best For:
The glam bride who wants timeless romance with a bit of dazzle.
3. Bezel: Built for Movement, Styled for Modernity
The bezel setting is the unsung hero of Denver’s active brides. With a protective rim that hugs the diamond, it’s as durable as it is design-forward—and perfect for anyone who doesn’t want to baby their ring.
The Setting:
Round Diamond Bezel Pavé Band Engagement Ring Setting
This version gives you the best of both worlds: a modern bezel setting that lets in light from below (so you don’t sacrifice sparkle) and a pavé band for just the right touch of glam. Designed to nest seamlessly with a wedding band, this one’s made for forever.
Why Denver Brides Love It:
Because it's low-maintenance luxury. You can hike, cook, type, or ski—and still look amazing.
Best For:
The outdoorsy or hands-on bride who wants a sleek, secure sparkle.
4. Three-Stone: Symbolic & Statement-Making
There’s a reason three-stone rings never go out of style. Each stone symbolizes your past, present, and future—and in 2025, Denver brides are loving this setting for its emotional meaning and effortless glam.
The Setting:
Three Stone Round Diamond Engagement Ring Setting
This ring features a central round diamond flanked by two smaller side stones for a brilliant, balanced effect. The prong-set design ensures your wedding band sits flush, keeping everything cohesive and beautifully proportioned.
Why Denver Brides Love It:
It’s elegant, meaningful, and a little extra (in the best way). A timeless classic with sentimental value baked in.
Best For:
The romantic bride who wants a ring with serious story power.
5. East-West: The Modern Twist Everyone’s Talking About
East-west settings turn tradition—literally—on its side. By placing the stone horizontally across the band, this style instantly feels more fashion-forward and unique.
The Setting:
East-West Solitaire Marquise Diamond Wide Knife Edge Engagement Ring Setting
This design takes a classic marquise diamond and flips it horizontally for unexpected cool. The wide knife-edge band gives the ring structure and contrast, while still allowing it to nest with a wedding band. It’s bold, architectural, and effortlessly modern.
Why Denver Brides Love It:
It’s not your mother’s engagement ring—and that’s the point. Unique without being flashy, this is the go-to for the style-savvy bride.
Best For:
The trend-forward bride who loves doing things her own way.
