Choosing Diamond Solitaire Engagement Rings That Will Pop

December 15th, 2009 Sara Gilmore

You'll be wearing a diamond solitaire engagement ring for hopefully the rest of your life. It might even be a symbol of your love and the first impression people have of you as a couple. You don't need to spend a lot of money to get high style. It will be a staple in your wardrobe so make sure that it represents you. A ring can be classic but still tell the world who you are.

It's not all just about size. You can show off your own design aesthetic with the setting of the ring. A vintage style ring will feel romantic so look for a ring that has a lot of filigree work or intricate scrolls. You might even want to have the ring antiqued so the details pop out. If modern is more your style then you'll want a sleek square cut. Contemporary rings focus on straight, clean cut lines. The band should be unadorned and simple. If you want a ring that won't catch on things then go with a bezel set diamond which will be lower to the band. For that Hollywood look find a piece where even the sides of the band have diamonds on them for an opulent air. This ensures that you get a big look for a little price tag.

The reason it's called a solitaire engagement ring is because it only has one large diamond. That one diamond needs to make a big impact so make sure you focus on clarity and color. There are even unique cuts of diamond to make your ring stand out. A teardrop shape may have an antique style to it. For a more traditional look go with a round diamond.

If you want a unique ring that is still in a classic setting then carefully consider the gold color. For a modern feel try white gold that will blend in with the diamond. If you want the diamond to stand out then go for yellow gold. A vintage feel can be created with rose gold and it will be rare. You should match whatever metal you choose with your fiance's ring so get him in on the planning. This purchase will affect any jewelry you buy down the road because you'll need to match items to it.

Use a diamond solitaire engagement ring as both an expression of your love and your personal style. People look at hundreds of rings a day without thinking about it but you can make yours stand out. Even if you are on a budget you can still get a unique ring.
