Delicate Chevron

This is the classic chevron we mentioned earlier. It has a fine, delicate band, with tiny pave stones set in a V shape. This ring would work in any metal – platinum, yellow gold, or rose gold. It would also work with precious stones as well as diamonds or even a combination of stones for something bolder.
Vintage Pave

For something that appeals to this with a love for all things vintage-inspired, this ring has plenty of classic charm. It features a gentle series of loops, with a chevron in the centre that resembles the bottom of a heart. Keep it classic in rose gold and diamond or try adding a warm-toned stone such as morganite or a dramatic black diamond for the side stones.
Round Chevron

Another way to add to the chevron style of shaped band ring is to add a stone in the centre of the dip. This balances it out, adding a subtle shape. In this ring, a small round cut diamond adds a lot of sparkle, with pave stones on the band adding the perfect touch.
Art Deco

Art deco rings are certainly having a moment again. If you love unusual, bold rings, this one is just right. Small baguette diamonds are arranged on the chevron band, creating a unique shape to the ring. Yellow gold works especially well against the diamond but rose gold and platinum would also work.
Pave Twists

The H shape ring certainly stands out. This is a variation of the double band ring, with a centre bar down the middle that connects each band. The centre bar and the fronts of the top and lower bands are both encrusted with pave stones. Keep all the stones diamonds or try adding impact with semi-precious stones on the centre bar.

This ring is ideal for those wanting a bit of romance. The heart-shaped diamond in the centre is gently entwined with an open band that cradles the stone. The top part of the band features tiny pave diamonds, while the lower part is left plain. Swap the centre heart stone for ruby, emerald, sapphire or tanzanite or try a coloured diamond.
Two-Tone
