Gold engagement rings are especially popular today and are the perfect complement to gold wedding rings. Gold rings with diamonds provide a truly stunning effect. Two of the more popular styles of gold engagement rings include tension-set and prong-set.

Tension-set gold engagement rings usually feature a solitaire diamond that is mounted between the ends of the gold ring and held in place under the tension of the metal.

Prong-set gold engagement rings also feature a solitaire diamond that is mounted in a "claw" consisting of between 4 to 6 prongs. This is also referred to a Tiffany setting. Prong-set gold engagement rings are popular as they can make the diamond appear larger and by lifting it higher off the ring, allow more light to reach the diamond.

Gold engagment rings are sometimes inlaid with gold or platinum for a beautiful contrast.
