Diamond solitaire engagement rings are in keeping with the traditional marriage proposal. This doesn’t mean that you have to break the bank in order to wow your friends. This also doesn’t mean that your ring has to be run of the mill or predictable. Since you’ll be wearing the ring everyday for hopefully the rest of your life make sure that you choose a piece that you can love both now and then.

The secret to choosing the perfect diamond solitaire engagement rings is to have one big wow factor.  Since the design is so simplistic it’s important to have something that is unique and special about the piece.  This might mean going for a matching wedding band with a little more bling to it.  You might really want to focus on quality.  A bright sparkling diamond will cost you more but it will endure the test of time. You also may want to impress your friends with the sheer size of the stone.  This will definitely get attention but it’s really expensive to find larger carat weight stones that are in good shape.

There are different styles of diamond solitaire engagement rings that can fit in with your personality or dream wedding.  The traditional Tiffany’s style ring is a round stone, plain yellow gold band in a prong setting.  This is a piece that you’ll be able to wear everyday and it will match all different phases of your lifestyle.  If you want a vintage flair then go with a pear shaped diamond or an oval.  These are more feminine, softer shapes that will add a special touch to a solitaire setting.  If you want a modern shape then go with a princess cut (square) diamond shape.

The other thing that you’ll want to take into consideration when choosing a ring is the setting.  Sure a solitaire ring usually just has a plain band and then one single stone; it is a solitaire after all.  However, a prong setting will raise up the diamond giving it more of a presence.  The downside to this is that it might not be the most practical for everyday wear.  You might want a bezel set diamond for more of a low profile, modern touch.  The setting can make your diamond unique even if the solitaire stone is as traditional as can be.  This is also a good option if you are reusing the stone from a family member’s piece.  You can still give the heirloom the sentimentally of the stone while creating a totally new ring for your bride.

Diamond solitaire engagement rings should express your personality and style while keeping in your budget.  This is a classic style that is loved by all different kinds of brides.
