Set Engagement
Diamond solitaire rings are iconic symbols of engagement. The solo diamond is held securely in a tall prong or bezel setting on top of a precious metal band. Since the mid 1960s, this classic style became so popular that for a while, a diamond solitaire ring was THE ring of choice when a man came to propose.
However since 2000, more and more engaged couples are choosing their diamond engagement ring from amongst a wide range of alternative styles. And virtually any ring is now acceptable as an engagement ring. But even with all the choices available to you, there are there are still three very good reasons why you should choose a diamond solitaire for your engagement ring.
1. The style of a solitaire is timeless.
High fashion engagement rings in stylised settings date quickly. Choose one of these for your engagement ring and over time, your future wife will likely tire of looking at it. And an out-of-date fashion ring, even a diamond ring, will eventually languish unworn at the bottom of her jewelry box.
In contrast, the simple style of a solitaire is traditional yet contemporary. Its clean lines and elegant minimalism are easy on the eye and will not date in the same way that a high fashion setting will. Over the years, the solitaire style stays fresh. So it is more likely to be worn everyday, year after year, just as an engagement ring should be!
2. The solitaire setting is very versatile.
Because there is only one diamond, the solitaire setting makes the most of the gemstone by setting it high so it catches the light and is easily seen. This makes the solitaire setting suitable for smaller diamonds as well as larger ones.
And the style is versatile so works equally well for all shapes of diamond, every color and every carat weight too! The more unusual shapes of diamond make fantastic solitaires. How else could you set your choice of heart shaped diamond? And the gemstone can be bezel set for comfort or prong set for a more traditional look.
3. Solitaire rings make excellent investment pieces.
There is only one diamond in a solitaire, so it alone holds the focus of attention. It alone must dazzle with all the fire and brilliance that diamonds are famous for. This means that the diamonds set as solitaires have a good color grade, a good clarity and a good cut. And of course, larger carat weights tend to be set as the solo diamond. Because only high quality diamonds are set as solitaires, they hold their value well. This makes solitaire rings good investment pieces, and also excellent heirloom jewelry for generations to come.
