Silver engagement rings are especially popular today and are the perfect complement to silver wedding rings. Two of the more popular styles of silver engagement rings include tension-set and prong-set.

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

Prong-set silver engagement rings also feature a solitaire diamond that is mounted in a "claw" consisting of between 4 to 6 prongs. The latter is referred to as a Tiffany setting. Prong-set silver 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.
