Solitaire Engagement Rings
What Does Solitaire Mean?
Solitaire, from the Latin word “solus” meaning “alone”, is the most common setting used in engagement rings. The term refers to a ring that features only a single gemstone on a simple band made of precious metals like white gold or platinum. A solitaire ring is meant to make the gemstone the centerpiece of the jewelry with little competing elements to take the spotlight away.
Moissanite and lab diamond solitaire engagement rings come in many different designs and settings, as well as the material of the band itself. A prong setting is the most common, where the gemstone is secured by prongs holding it securely like a claw. It showcases enough of the stone to give it maximum brilliance and fire. Other types of solitaire settings include the Cathedral and the ever-popular Tiffany setting.
Why Choose a Lab Diamond Or Moissanite Solitaire Ring?
A solitaire engagement ring is simple and understated elegance at its best. It’s a classic and timeless design that suits almost every preference or taste. Their minimalist and subdued aesthetic also make them practical for everyday use. If you’re at a loss on what engagement ring to buy for your fiancé, you can’t go wrong with a Moissanite solitaire ring. It’s a fantastic safe choice guaranteed to be well-received by your bride-to-be.
If you have an exceptionally brilliant stone like moissanite or lab diamond, a solitaire engagement ring is the best way to show that off. It’s also the ideal style if you’re going with more unique cuts like the Heart or Oval so it can be clearly seen in the ring.
