Classic Engagement Rings

Classic Engagement Rings: Refined, Romantic & Forever Wearable
A classic engagement ring is defined by its balance not too ornate, not too minimal, just perfectly crafted to let the diamond and the design speak in harmony. Classic rings typically feature pavé-set side stones, channel-set bands, cathedral settings, and elegant scrollwork that frame a center diamond with grace and intention. These are the rings that look as beautiful in photographs decades from now as they do on the day they're given.
At Wedding Bands & Co., Chicago's Gold Coast custom jewelry studio, our classic engagement ring collection is our largest style category featuring 135 settings that range from understated and refined to romantically detailed. Every ring in this collection is available in 14K and 18K white gold, yellow gold, rose gold, and platinum, and is designed to hold a natural or lab-grown diamond of your choice. Each setting is precision-crafted and available in your diamond shape round brilliant, oval, cushion, emerald, princess, pear, marquise, radiant, and more.
What Makes a Ring "Classic"? The defining features are timeless design elements that have been refined over decades: shared-prong or pavé side stone bands, clean cathedral arches that lift the center stone for maximum light exposure, channel-set diamonds that sit flush along the band, and proportions designed to look elegant on any hand shape. Unlike trend-driven styles, a classic engagement ring never needs to be updated it grows more meaningful with every year.
Every ring in our classic collection can be fully customized to your exact specifications. Work directly with our chief designer and GIA-certified gemologist Koorosh Daneshgar to modify any setting change the prong count, adjust the band width, add milgrain detailing, or modify the stone count.
