Queen Letizia of Spain wears channel-set diamond engagement ring
Queen Letizia of Spain revealed her unique channel-set white gold engagement ring with baguette diamonds at a royal press conference in Madrid on November 1, 2003.

Ring design features vertical stones
The ring consists of a white gold band holding sixteen vertical baguette diamonds. This channel-set style wraps around the finger without a primary center stone. The design offers a seamless look that avoids feeling obtrusive during daily activities.
Style differs from traditional settings
Royal families often choose this configuration for wedding bands rather than engagement rings. Some modern brides prefer bezel-set or domed rings as alternatives to classic solitaires. The channel setting provides extra security around the stones through the gold metal.
