This page looks at Engagement Rings in Ireland. Some of the most attractive engagement rings in the world are not single rings at all-–instead, they are carefully designed bridal set engagement rings. These sets integrate both the engagement ring and into one uniform design. For women who dislike wearing more than one ring or for couples carefully considering a budget, bridal set engagement rings are a desirable alternative to traditional, individual rings. A bridal set, also called a wedding set, is actually a pair of rings designed to be worn together. Some bridal sets even include three rings: the bride’s engagement ring and wedding band as well as the groom’s wedding band. All three rings have similar characteristics, such as metal choice and stylistic accents There are two basic types of bridal set engagement rings: parallel rings and integrated rings. Parallel rings are similar to traditional, separate rings and either ring can be worn by itself. The wedding band may be plain or may have matching details such as inset stones or a pave setting that coordinates with the engagement ring. In a parallel set, the wedding band typically does not have raised stones or other elaborate details that might interfere with the engagement ring when the two pieces are worn together. An integrated bridal set is a more elaborately designed pair, and the wedding band cannot usually be worn without the accompanying engagement ring or else it would appear incomplete. In many cases, the wedding band is designed as a coordinating diamond ring wrap for the engagement ring, perhaps supplying accent stones or finishing details to the engagement ring. In this way, the primary stone in the engagement ring also becomes the centerpiece for the complete bridal set. Bridal sets range from simple diamond solitaire engagement rings with understated wedding band wraps to elaborate designs with both rings sporting multiple accent stones to surround a fancy shaped diamond. Marquise and round diamonds are the most popular shapes. The most common stones are diamonds, both for the center stone as well as the accent stones, though many jewelers can create customized bridal sets including colored gemstones for a more unique piece. Yellow Gold is the most prominent metal, but bridal sets can also be fashioned from white gold, platinum, or other metals.
