Engagement Rings at Shane Co.: Style Overview
Picture yourself wearing your engagement ring every single day (feels good, doesn’t it?).
Your ring should fit your vibe, but that doesn’t mean it has to match the rest of your jewelry. For example, you may love keeping up with trends but want your engagement ring to be more classic. On the flip side, you may want a modern ring that stands apart from your traditional pieces. Your ring should feel like YOU.
Shane Co. has a ton of options for you to find a unique engagement ring, including our Perfectly Preset ring selection. Our in-house team dreams up these designs so you can quickly get a ring that’s already put together but still really special. We also have an option where you can create your own engagement ring. Start with a setting, add a stone, and personalize it to make it all yours.
We care about our service as much as we care about craftsmanship and gemstone quality. We know that an engagement ring is a big purchase, so we’re here to help every step of the way. If you’re brand-new to this, we have a helpful guide on how to buy an engagement ring, which we recommend checking out whether you’re purchasing a ring to propose with or figuring out your own style.
Ready to find your ring? Get inspired below with some of our most unique Perfectly Preset rings.
Unique Perfectly Preset Engagement Rings

The Perfectly Preset setting options we offer include:

Yellow Gold
Yellow gold is popular, but there are so many ways to wear it that it never feels boring. It pairs well with both diamonds and colorful gemstones — for something special, we recommend mixing the two.
We love this Yasmin Blue Sapphire Engagement Ring. Kentucky blue sapphires surround the center stone of your choice for an elegant floral look. Check out our other 14k yellow gold floral engagement rings for more nature-inspired options.
Art Deco
Art Deco engagement rings are some of our favorites because they’re always so unique and artistic. Art Deco is a style from the 1920s and ’30s that features geometric shapes instead of the soft, romantic ones from previous eras. We recommend Art Deco rings if you love vintage styles and want something different.
This Sunburst Engagement Ring is the perfect example of a ring that’s truly like no other. The Art Deco-inspired hexagonal halo and milgrain detailing make it, as one reviewer put it, “a showstopper and incredibly unique.”
Bezel-Set
Bezel-set engagement rings are a great way to stand out. The style dates back centuries and is one of the oldest known ring settings. Despite the long history of the bezel setting, though, it’s still considered a more unique look for an engagement ring than a traditional prong setting.
This gorgeous Honey Bezel-Set Diamond Engagement Ring is powerful. It’s elegant yet surprisingly sturdy, with secret diamonds surrounding the setting for a hidden halo effect.
We hope you’re starting to get a feel for what you like! Even if you don’t want a Perfectly Preset ring, use these styles as inspiration when creating your own engagement ring.
Create Your Own Engagement Ring
Creating your own engagement ring is the best way to find exactly what you’re looking for. Start with a setting you like, choose a diamond or colorful gemstone as your center stone, and add a few personal touches.
In jewelry terms, a setting is literally how a stone is set into a ring. Below are the setting types to get you started. Browse through each one to find your favorite.
Once you choose your setting, it’s time to pick the center stone. When it comes to stone types, the options are endless. At Shane Co., we offer natural diamonds, lab-grown diamonds, and colorful gemstones, including 16 shades of sapphires! Check out the stone shapes below and think about which combination of cut and color you like the most.
- Round
- Marquise
- Oval
- Cushion Cut
- Emerald Cut
- Princess Cut
- Radiant Cut
- Asscher Cut
- Pear-Shaped
- Heart-Shaped
The final (optional) step when creating your engagement ring is to personalize it with an engraving or a hidden halo. Get an anniversary date or private note from your fiancé engraved. Add a hidden halo to emphasize the center stone. Both are great ways to make your ring even more special.
Tips for Finding the Perfect Engagement Ring
Now that you know the different types of engagement rings and how to shop for one, it’s time to dig into your psyche (and your jewelry box) and figure out which ring suits you. As we said before, your ring doesn’t necessarily need to match your favorite trendy hoops or even your birthstone. It should complement your personality and reflect who you are.
Here are several specific styles. Which one speaks to you?
- Chic. This style is timeless and charming. If you want a chic engagement ring, you’re going to love a simple white gold or platinum band with a stone that’s not too large and slightly unexpected, like an emerald cut.
- Bohemian. Today, “Bohemian” means artistic and free-spirited. For a boho engagement ring, look for vintage styles, halos, and yellow gold. The more intricate details, the better.
- Edgy. This can mean so many things, from bold and fashion-forward to alternative and punk. If you like a daring look, you can’t go wrong with a black sapphire as your center stone.
- Minimalist. The minimalist style is perfect for someone who loves understated elegance or simply wants a ring that won’t get in the way of everyday life. For a minimalist engagement ring, try a small round center stone or head on over to wedding bands and ditch the center stone entirely.
- Glamorous. For those who love romance, a glamorous engagement ring is like a fairytale come true. Lots of sparkle is important, whether it’s from diamonds or soft-colored stones, like light blues or pinks.
These styles are just here to get you started. If none of them feels quite right, we recommend sitting down and listing out everything you like. Browse all of our engagement rings for more inspiration. From there, book an appointment, drop by a store, or send us a chat online at ShaneCo.com to meet with our expert jewelry consultants. You already found your person. We’ll help you find your ring.
