Choose the Right Diamond
- At Michael Trio, we have a section here to educate our visitors
on diamonds (4Cs,diamonds certificate, etc). If you find the information overwhelming to understand, you
may call one of our diamonds consultants at (65) 6299 0110 to help you. It is important to have these
knowledge to make an informed decision.
- Besides acquiring knowledge of the 4 Cs of diamond, you’ll also want to take
into consideration a diamond’s shape. The shape of the diamond is all a matter of your girlfriend’s
preference. Below we list a few of the possible shapes you can get a diamond in:
Choose the Right Setting
- After working out your budget, calculated her ring size and gathered all
background knowledge of her tastes, preferences and lifestyle, you are now in a much better place to choose
the right style of setting for the unique diamond. It is important to choose the right setting because the
right setting will highlight and enhance the stone’s best feature. An engagement ring is typically made of a
precious metal upon which at least one gemstone is set. Four popular categories of ring settings include the
classic solitaire, a fancy setting with side stones, a matching bridal set and halo (framed setting). When
you choose the ring setting that the diamond will be mounted in, you may want to consider the wedding band
and how it will look with the engagement ring.
The simplicity of the solitaire setting makes it a timeless and classic
choice. A solitaire setting with four prongs allows the most light to enter the diamond from all
angles, maximizing its brilliance. Six prongs shows slightly less diamond, but provide slightly
more security in holding the stone. This setting is best for stones with good symmetry and
perfect cut. It is a safe bet when you're not sure which style you want. It is also typically
the least expensive way to set a stone. Browse through our classic collections here. |

A fancy setting with diamond side stones adds an extra sparkle to your ring, complementing your center stone. The side stones are set evenly with the band in a channel setting, bar setting or with prongs. The purpose of the side stone is to visually connect the center stone with the shank or to cover the width of the ring so that the plain part of the shank is not visible when viewed from the top. In respect to finger size, it's a very good choice for larger sizes. For those with smaller fingers, the setting must be chosen very carefully. The wrong choice might result in a ring that looks not proportion to the finger. | |
A bridal setting is comprised of an engagement ring setting and a matching wedding ring to create a perfect fit and uniform look. Bridal sets come in classic solitaire settings or include diamonds. This also allows men to be more creative and personal in their own choice of a wedding band. |
Wedding Rings
Guide to Wedding Rings
- A wedding ring is a metal band worn on the base of the right or left ring
finger. An exchange of a wedding ring between husband and wife is a symbol of a life-long contract in the
modern days now. At Michael Trio, we offer an eclectic variety of His & Her wedding bands, with some
collections of engagement rings for her that will complement the wedding band in shape/size. If you have
already purchased your engagement ring elsewhere, fret not. You can bring your engagement ring to us and our
team of designers will provide you with customised designs to match your engagement ring.
Types of Wedding Rings
- Michael Trio offers 2 types of wedding rings: with and without diamonds. The
plain wedding band holds its own appeal to those who feel an affinity for tradition and history. A wedding
band without diamond does not necessarily lose out to one with diamonds too because we use a variety of
finishing and texturing to bring life to a simple band. Michael Trio offers wedding bands in white gold,
yellow gold and rose gold (18 karat or 14 karat) to suit a variety of tastes and preference.

Find Your Ring Size
Michael trio makes it simple to order a ring in the proper size.
Here are a few steps to make your measurement more accurate:- When measuring, keep in mind that each finger could have a different size, so don't presume that a ring that fits your left ring finger will also fit your right ring finger.

- Make sure the measurement you choose easily fits over your knuckle.
