An in-depth guide to Luxe Aimé diamond shapes and setting styles

Choosing an engagement ring is an intimate decision. It’s not about trends—it’s about meaning. Shape and setting are the foundation. At Luxe Aimé, we treat these elements with reverence, knowing they say something lasting. This guide explores each one, clearly and intentionally, with equal attention to all styles so you can decide what feels like you.

DIAMONDS SHAPES

Round Brilliant

The round brilliant is the most iconic diamond shape—defined by symmetry, perfected for light performance, and beloved for generations. It reflects steadiness, clarity, and timeless elegance. It suits those who value balance and classic beauty without needing attention. This shape feels complete, understated, and enduring.

Ring Settings

 Bezel

In a bezel setting, the diamond is fully surrounded by metal. This creates a smooth, clean, protective silhouette. Bezel settings offer modern minimalism and durability. Every shape takes on a distinct feeling within this frame: round becomes timeless and sleek, oval feels soft and sculptural, emerald reads bold and contemporary, cushion feels vintage-modern, radiant looks refined, pear is directional and polished, marquise is graphic, princess becomes architectural, asscher feels structured and precise, and heart reads strong and sincere. The bezel gives each shape clarity, with no distractions.

Cathedral

Cathedral settings elevate the diamond with metal arches, adding height and a sense of ceremony. This style evokes tradition and reverence. Round and oval shapes feel classic and balanced in this setting. Emerald, asscher, and princess appear stately and architectural. Cushion, pear, and heart shapes gain softness and romantic lift. Radiant and marquise shapes feel elevated and expressive. The cathedral emphasizes the diamond as a focal point—refined, supported, and purposeful.

Channel

Channel settings hold smaller stones between parallel metal walls, adding detail without prongs. This style is smooth, modern, and secure. Round and princess cuts align with the channel’s symmetry. Emerald and asscher cuts echo its clean structure. Oval, pear, cushion, and radiant shapes offer contrast—softness against precision. Marquise and heart shapes feel stylized and directional. Channel settings emphasize order and calm sparkle, enhancing without overwhelming.

Cluster

Cluster settings group multiple stones to create visual movement, dimension, and texture. They feel organic, expressive, and one-of-a-kind. Round, oval, and cushion shapes blend beautifully into clusters. Pear and marquise add asymmetry and motion. Heart shapes feel whimsical and bold. Emerald, asscher, princess, and radiant cuts bring contrast and geometry to an otherwise soft composition. The cluster allows every shape to feel curated—artful, not accidental.

Halo

A halo surrounds the center diamond with a frame of smaller diamonds, increasing brilliance and visual size. It creates a luminous, glowing effect. Round, oval, and cushion cuts look ethereal in a halo. Emerald, asscher, and princess shapes gain softness and dimension. Pear and marquise shapes become radiant and stylized. Radiant and heart shapes feel expansive. The halo adds light and lift to every shape—without overpowering their identity.

Pavé

Pavé settings embed micro-diamonds across the band for continuous sparkle. The effect is detailed, refined, and quietly brilliant. Round, oval, and cushion shapes harmonize with pavé’s delicacy. Emerald, asscher, and princess shapes gain contrast—soft texture against clean form. Pear, marquise, heart, and radiant shapes feel romantic and expressive. Pavé brings a soft shimmer to any diamond, enhancing it without taking the spotlight.

Solitaire

A solitaire showcases a single diamond with no embellishment. Pure focus. Pure presence. Round and oval shapes feel timeless in this setting. Emerald, asscher, and princess appear confident and structured. Pear and marquise shapes feel sculptural and dynamic. Cushion, radiant, and heart shapes become emotional and direct. The solitaire doesn’t change the diamond—it reveals it.

Tension

Tension settings suspend the diamond between two ends of the band using pressure, creating the illusion of floating. It feels technical, minimal, and modern. Round, oval, and princess shapes feel sleek and futuristic. Emerald, asscher, and radiant shapes become linear and exact. Pear, marquise, cushion, and heart shapes feel sculptural and unexpected. The tension setting emphasizes form and physics—balanced and bold.

Trio

Three-stone rings feature a center diamond with two side stones. Symbolic or aesthetic, the effect is about harmony. Round, cushion, and oval shapes feel romantic and even. Emerald, princess, and radiant shapes feel graphic and balanced. Pear, marquise, asscher, and heart shapes add character and storytelling. The trio setting supports all shapes equally—it’s about presence, not hierarchy.

Vintage

Vintage-inspired settings often feature milgrain, filigree, and hand-carved detail. They evoke history, texture, and depth. Round, cushion, and asscher shapes feel natural here—nostalgic but grounded. Emerald and oval add elegance. Pear, marquise, heart, and princess become romantic or expressive. Radiant diamonds gain a sense of era. The vintage setting creates timelessness, no matter the shape.
