Solitaire Rings

Simply put, solitaire means one.  For an engagement ring, this means the ring has one simple diamond, without side stones, accent stones, or other gem embellishments.  Solitaire engagement rings need not be dull or plain, however, and for many women, the simple elegance of a single, sparkling stone is the ultimate symbol of the single love two people share.

Because the ring has only one stone, couples considering diamond solitaire engagement rings must be well acquainted with judging diamond quality.  A ring with several stones or other gems as design elements may be able to use a lower quality diamond to good effect because the more elaborate settings, colours, and designs distract from any imperfections.  The focus of diamond solitaire engagement rings, however, is one brilliant gem.  Therefore, you should be familiar with the four Cs of quality (clarity, cut, carat, and colour), as well as potential flaws in order to ensure that you have an excellent stone.

  1. I absolutely like Aviant Jewelers Zirconia Engagement Rings for Women. It is elegant and classy. It is so sparkly with a beautiful white dazzling diamond of just under half a ct. I can't stop looking at it. I feel really great for buying that Aviant Jewelers Women's Engagement Rings at Amazon.
