Royal-Inspired Engagement Ring Settings
Royal-inspired settings define the Christmas Prince look. They add height, presence, and a “crown-like” silhouette that photographs beautifully under winter lights.
Crown-Style Prongs
These prongs resemble petite coronets that lift the stone dramatically.
Why they’re perfect for Christmas:
They sparkle beautifully against lights from Christmas trees, fireplaces, and outdoor snow.
Cathedral Arches
Sweeping metal arches—similar to a cathedral window—rise toward the center stone.
They create a grand, regal look, ideal for a winter fairytale proposal.
Halo & Double-Halo Sparkle
Some of the most “prince inspired” rings use halos that mimic glowing snow or a frosty crown.
A double halo adds strong visual presence for photos and suits holiday proposals beautifully.
