King Edward VII, fond of travel on the Continent, introduced a more fashionable style to his subjects than what had been tolerated under the late Queen. This ornate engagement ring is typical of the period. The round-cut center diamond is surrounded by multiple accent stones. Although this example features prongs, bezel settings (collars that held the center diamond in place) were still quite popular.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adiamor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/cooldiamond.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-373\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adiamor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/cooldiamond-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"cooldiamond\" width=\"236\" height=\"178\" srcset=\"https:\/\/adiamor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/cooldiamond-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/adiamor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/cooldiamond.jpg 533w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 236px) 100vw, 236px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Because many people felt that the bezel setting obscured too much of the diamond, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.adiamor.com\/Engagement-Rings\/Search\/Invisible\">invisible setting<\/a> has taken its place.
