Some of the most gorgeous branded engagement rings that we have seen recently include the following:
Pave Infinity Braid

This delicate pave infinity braid integrates the braid as part of the design. This ring would also work well as a wedding band or even a promise ring. For those who prefer a more subtle style, the gentle twists of the braid are given extra sparkle with the addition of tiny pave diamonds. This ring works well in platinum and diamond, but could also work in yellow or rose gold with white or coloured diamonds.
Minimal Pear Braid

Even more minimal is this understated rose gold band with a small pear shaped diamond in the centre. This style works well in rose gold, and could also work equally well in white gold, yellow gold or platinum. The tapered shape of the pear cut stone is feminine and pretty, working well with the gently twisted braid of the ring’s band.
Simple Platinum Braid

For those wanting something simple, that is not too understated, another alternative is this simple and classic braided ring that features a plain braided band and a solitaire diamond in the centre. This ring is versatile and elegant, working well with just about any type of stone and in any metal. You could add impact by making the braid two tone in rose gold and platinum, or try a coloured diamond instead of a classic white diamond.
Tiny Baguette Braid

This unusual ring features tiny baguette cut diamonds rather than traditional pave stones. The result is a braided effect that looks simple from a distance, becoming more ornate the closer you look. For those who prefer minimal styles and gender neutral designs, this ring is sure to impress. It would work equally well in a warmer toned metal such as rose or yellow gold.
Pave Twist Braid

The interlocking braids of this ring alternate between solid rose gold and pave twists, with an effect that is almost like a knit stitch. The effect is eye-catching without being over the top. To make this ring more subtle, you could try a platinum band rather than a warmer toned metal. To make it more elaborate, you could try coloured diamonds instead of classic white diamonds.
Split Shank Braid

The split shank design is a classic choice that continues to attract brides-to-be. Symbolic and flattering, this style works well with a double braided band. A simple cushion or square cut solitaire adds the final touch, providing balance and a central focus. This ring would look beautiful in any metal, using any stone.
Two Tone Braid

Two tone rings are also popular and for good reason. Pave offers a way to add contrast in a subtle way, offsetting the warm tones of the delicate rose gold band. The gentle twists of this braid add interest without going over the top. A simple solitaire in a square, emerald, round or oval cut further adds to the impact of this ring, making it romantic yet classic enough to suit those who favour traditional styles.
Gold Celtic Braid

Starting with yellow gold band with a Celtic knot that stretches around and up either side of a 4 claw setting clenching a flawless round cut solitaire diamond.” This ring is exclusively available to Cape Diamonds.
