About Zales

Since 1924, when the first Zales boutique opened in Wichita Falls, the company has been providing beautiful engagement rings suitable for every budget.

With a wide selection of engagement ring designs ranging from vintage to sleek contemporary styles, Zales has the perfect ring for every couple.

Styles of Zales Diamond Engagement Rings

There are four basic styles of Zales engagement rings, from simple diamond solitaires to luxury bridal sets.

• Solitaire Rings: The classic diamond solitaire is still one of the most popular styles of engagement rings, and Zales offers magnificent solitaires in both four- and six-prong arrangements. Diamond shapes include the traditional round as well as princess and marquise shapes. Solitaires are available in yellow and white gold and a limited selection of platinum and two tone styles. The settings may be simple tiffany settings or more curvaceous cathedral settings. Some diamonds are also independently certified for exceptional quality and brilliance.
  • Solitaires range from one-fifth to two full carats, with prices from $300 to more than $20,000.
• Solitaires with Side Accents: These multi-stone rings incorporate all the fine characteristics of Zales solitaire rings but also have the added beauty of multiple accent stones in round, princess, and baguette shapes. The accents may be as simple side embellishments or as elaborate as boxter settings, swirls, or bridge settings with gems on the sides of the mounting. Both channel and bar settings are available, and wide band diamond engagement rings use multiple rows of stones for a stunning effect.
  • Accented rings range from one-quarter to three full carats in total carat weight with prices from $400 to more than $5,000.
• Bridal Sets: These coordinated Zales diamond engagement rings give the bride not only a lovely solitaire or accented ring, but also the matching wedding band. The bands may be parallel or diamond ring wrap designs, though the number of accent stones varies widely. Bridal sets can be found with round, pear, marquise, princess, and heart shapes, arranged either in classic settings or more unusual designs such as cluster and floral patterns.
  • The total carat weight of Zales’ bridal sets ranges from one-sixth to three full carats, and the cost starts at $400 and goes up to $6,000 or more.
• Three Stone Rings: Three stone engagement rings are a lovely sentimental option for couples because the trio of diamonds is meant to represent the past, present, and future of their relationship. Zales offers this type of ring design with princess, round, marquise, and emerald diamond shapes, both with and without additional accent stones or matching wedding bands. More unique settings also include a matched trio of diamonds in a bypass ring for contemporary flair with traditional symbolism.
  • Three stone rings are most commonly found with 1.5 carats of diamonds, though Zales offers options as light as one-quarter carat to as heavy as three carats total, with prices from $500 to more than $8,000.
