History of Engagement Rings

The history of engagement rings can be traced back to 1477, when Archduke Maximilian of Austria presented Mary of Burgundy with a diamond ring at Vienna’s Imperial Court. This was one of the first well-documented cases where a diamond ring was used to symbolize a marriage proposal.

This special event gave rise to a new tradition—diamond rings soon became a favored symbol of love and commitment among European royalty and aristocracy. Over time, the trend spread beyond the noble classes and became a widely celebrated tradition.

Today, the tradition of presenting a diamond ring as a symbol of eternal love continues not only in Europe but across the world. In North America especially, diamond engagement rings have become deeply ingrained in culture, representing devotion, romance, and cherished memories. Diamonds remain the ultimate choice for proposals, symbolizing purity, strength, and enduring love.


Engagement Rings by Style

The style of an engagement ring is a personal reflection of your relationship and your unique love story. At chloediamonds, we offer an extensive selection of designs—from timeless classics to sleek, modern interpretations—so you can find the ring that perfectly expresses your bond. We believe every engagement should be not only memorable but also brilliantly meaningful.


Solitaire

The solitaire engagement ring is a timeless favorite, adored for its elegant simplicity. With a single center diamond as the focus, it highlights the beauty of the stone itself.

There are multiple ways to personalize solitaire rings:

  • Prong Setting (4 or 6 prongs): The most classic option, holding the diamond securely while showcasing its brilliance.
  • Tiffany Setting (6 prongs): Elevates the stone above the band for maximum sparkle.
  • Classic 4-Prong Setting: Allows more light to pass through the diamond, enhancing brilliance.
  • Double Prong: Creates a refined, slimmer look for the claws.
  • Bezel Setting: Encircles the stone with a sleek band of metal for a modern, protective touch.

Whichever you choose, the solitaire ring reflects pure elegance and symbolizes the strength of your love.

Halo

The halo style features a central diamond surrounded by a circle of smaller accent stones. This setting not only amplifies the sparkle but also creates the illusion of a larger center diamond.

Halos can be customized in numerous ways—double halos, colored gemstones for contrast, or pavé diamonds along the band. With its glamorous brilliance, the halo design is perfect for brides who love a touch of vintage-inspired elegance combined with modern shine.

Hidden Halo

A hidden halo offers subtle beauty—it’s placed beneath the center stone, adding brilliance visible from certain angles. Variations include round hidden halos, draped designs, double hidden halos, or halos set into the basket that cradles the diamond.

This style delivers surprise sparkle and depth while keeping the center stone as the main focus.
