The classic diamond ring is composed of two parts: a diamond and a setting. At Safari Diamond, we make choosing your ring as simple as possible.
The corner piece of every diamond ring – whether for an engagement, wedding, anniversary, or other special occasion – is the diamond or diamonds itself! That’s why at Safari Diamond, we first help you choose the one-of-a-kind diamond that matches your exact criteria and desires … and then we find the perfect ring setting and mounting to highlight your heirloom to perfection.

18k gold is usually composed of 75% gold and 25% metal alloys to give it strength.

Safari Diamond’s Custom Ring Settings:
|
Safari Diamond offers a variety of engagement settings
to choose from. Here's a summary of the four most popular styles today:
|
|
Solitaire Settings
This is our most popular engagement ring setting. The prongs position the center
diamond to catch the most light. All of our diamonds come with your choice of 18K
yellow or white gold or a platinum six prong solitaire setting.
|
|
Settings with Sidestones
A setting with diamonds or gemstones adds additional sparkle or color. Channel settings
protect sidestones from abrasions by keeping them flush. The bar-channel setting
allows more light to enter the sidestones, and creates a scalloped edge of brilliance.
|
|
Settings with Matching Bands
If you'd like a wedding band to wear on the same finger with your engagement ring,
consider settings with wedding bands designed to match..
|
|
Three-Stone Settings
For a classic ring that's truly unique and created by you, choose all three diamonds
to be set in a three-stone setting. The three-stone ring has one diamond for the
past, one for the present, and one for the future.

Pave Settings A pave setting is one where the ring’s band
is literally paved with diamonds. Small stones encrusted along the ring’s
surface give the illusion of a solid diamond surface rather than a metal band. Unlike
channel or bezel settings, a pave setting uses only tiny beads or minute prongs
to hold each stone, minimizing the appearance of the metal while maximizing the
illusion of free-standing diamonds. Most pave settings are constructed from white
gold or platinum in order to further minimize the metal, though yellow gold can
add a measure of traditional elegance.
|
|
Micro Pave Settings
Micro pave engagement rings are delicate designer fashions with spectacular sparkle
and flair that appeal to couples interested in unique designs. These special rings
produce more glitter and allure than their pave engagement rings
cousins because they use the smallest possible diamonds to achieve a uniform sparkle
on the ring's surface. The individual stones are so small, they blend together more
smoothly and present a truly extravagant image. The number of tiny diamonds in a
micro pave design can range from 30 to more than 70 and are often measured in total
carat weight (rarely more than 0.75 carat total weight, not counting the center
stone). |
