Classic Engagement Rings
"Classic" engagement rings got their name for a good reason; they will never go out of style. A classic engagement ring typically features a pavé band, which is a band covered with smaller diamonds; this ring style will add graceful glitter to your loved one’s hand. Defined by simplicity and sophistication, these designs will be chic from the day of your proposal to your fiftieth-anniversary celebration. Whether you choose a round-cut or radiant-cut stone, pair your diamond with a classic band for a ring style she’ll be thrilled to wear for years to come.

Tips for Buying a Classic Engagement Ring
When you are choosing your engagement ring, there are a lot of decisions to be made. Even simple classic engagement rings require at least some personalization. Here is a guide to help you choose your ring.
Choose Your Level of Classic — Most simple classic engagement rings have a plain, single pavé band. However, if you’d like to add a few frills, a double band adds another level of sophistication. Add a weaved band style to the mix for even more of a wow factor. For the woman who’s an absolute show stopper? Try three parallel pavé bands.
Matching a Rock With a Band — There are, of course, different kinds of classic diamond rings, and it’s up to you to choose how traditional you’d like the ring to look. You can purchase a double-banded, weaved pavé band and pair it with a radiant-cut diamond to achieve a cutting-edge look. If it’s a purely classic design you think she’ll love, a round-cut diamond with a single pavé band is probably the choice you're looking for.
Up the Bling — The simpler the classic band, the more your significant other’s diamond will stand out. If you’re worried that a smaller rock won’t be able to take the heat or if you want to increase the glamour factor, choose a higher carat size and up the weight of the ring.
Types of Classic Engagement Rings
There are no hard and fast rules for defining classic engagement rings, but there are some tell-tale signs when you see one. They typically feature pavé bands and a center diamond in a plain prong setting, but beyond that, all bets are off. Classic diamond rings can have from one to three pavé bands. While three-banded classic rings are always arranged in parallel formation, two-banded classic rings can be arranged in a simple weave for a more intricate look. Single-banded classic rings can be arranged in a twist for added attraction. Pavés can also feature single bands with double (or even tripe) rows of diamonds. These rings can be complicated with a twist or weave as well. Whether they feature a double row of pavé diamonds or a triple pavé band, these rings are some of the most elegant offerings on the market.
