This means that the band which holds the single diamond up is not accented by any other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.25karats.com\/lab-grown-diamonds\">diamonds,<\/a> gems or jewelry; instead, the lone diamond represents the one love shared by two people who are ready to spend the rest of their lives together.<\/p>\n<p>Diamond solitaire engagement rings have been a popular trend since the 20s and 30s, when rings took on a more elegant shape. Since then, diamond solitaire engagement rings have been a popular design, with jewelry retailers often reporting that it outsells all other engagement rings.<\/p>\n<p>However, just because there\u2019s a single diamond on the ring doesn\u2019t mean that it\u2019s smaller or less significant than other designs! The diamonds on solitaire engagement rings are generally much larger than those of other rings, as the focus is entirely on the single stone.<\/p>\n<p>Diamond solitaire engagement rings come in all shapes and sizes, so make sure you know your fianc\u00e9e\u2019s preference before you shell out for the ring (ask one of her friends to help you with this sneaky mission). There\u2019s the classic round cut solitaire engagement ring\u2013 which is the most popular cut for diamond solitaire engagement rings \u2013 and a bevy of other beautiful cuts, including pear, oval and even heart-cut shapes. Princess cut engagement rings are also an extremely popular choice, as these cuts really highlight the clarity \u2013 and the size! \u2013 of the single diamond. Ask an experienced jeweler for assistance in choosing the right cut for your future fianc\u00e9e\u2019s engagement ring.<\/p>\n<p>Bands for the engagement ring are simplistic, but by no means does this indicate that the engagement ring isn\u2019t luxurious \u2013 far from it! Choose from either 14K gold or platinum bands to encircle your loved ones finger, as these precious metals give a hint of luxury without detracting from the gorgeous solitaire diamond. Additionally, you can choose from a variety of beautiful settings, including a prong setting engagement rings(where the diamond is lifted from the band), flush and bezel setting engagement rings. All will highlight the stone by pushing it up from the band, instead of stealing the spotlight from its brilliance.<\/p>\n<p>Diamond solitaire engagement rings can be significantly cheaper than other designs, but this means that you\u2019ll have a smaller diamond (typically less than a carat) on the ring. If you really want to take your future wife\u2019s breath away, look to upgrade to a carat or more, depending on how comfortable you are with your budget. Remember, the diamond is the focal point of the ring, so don\u2019t skimp on a perfect diamond that reflects the love that you share with your fianc\u00e9e!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s no wonder diamonds are a girl\u2019s best friend \u2013 with the classic yet elegant simplicity of a diamond engagement ring, declaring your true love for your fianc\u00e9e has never been more perfect, thanks to the timeless design of these graceful and extremely popular engagement rings.
