With the wisdom gained of your perfect gemstone, it is now time to enshrine it in its rightful setting. A ring setting , a hallowed mount that cradles the gem upon the band of your engagement ring, plays a crucial role in how the gemstone is showcased. It not only enhances the gem's radiant splendor but also intertwines with the ring’s design, imbuing it with character and enchantment which is called the ring style .


At the North Way Studio, we craft three signature ring settings that are perfect for all fantasy lovers and magic users:

  • The Solitaire Setting

  • The Three Stone Setting

  • The Halo Setting

The Solitaire Setting

Among the trio of illustrious ring settings, the Solitaire setting stands as the most iconic. Its name comes from the French word “lone,” which captures its essence perfectly. In this cherished setting, the gemstone takes center stage , much like a dragon unfurling its magnificent wings from a lofty peak. Here, the gem's brilliance is showcased in its purest form, unadorned and resplendent.


This setting is perfect for those who desire an elegance that is both classic and enduring .

Revered across the ages, the three-stone ring is celebrated for its deep symbolism and timeless allure . This design is an ideal choice for engagements, milestone celebrations, or anniversaries, embodying a rich tapestry of meanings.


Traditionally, the central stone signifies the present while the two flanking stones represent the past and the future. Thus, weaving a story of journey and continuity.


In other tales, the trio stands for the virtues of Friendship, Love, and Fidelity—cornerstones of a lasting relationship. Some view it as a familial symbol where the central gem might represent a child with the side stones honoring the parents, or a single parent adorned by the stones of their children.


No matter the story you choose to embrace, the three-stone setting offers a beautifully balanced and meaningful adornment.
