Five Great Reasons Why Buying A Diamond Solitaire Engagement Ring Is Best
Men and women have treasured diamonds for thousands of years. Around the world, women, in particular, but also men, choose to wear diamonds to celebrate significant life events such as engagements, marriages, anniversaries and birthdays. Even though there are several other precious stones such as ruby, sapphire and emerald, diamond is the first choice of most people for their jewellery, even if they also feature other precious stones. The diamonds usually take centre stage. This article will examine why choosing a diamond solitaire engagement ring is a good choice for you and your future fiancee and wife.
1) The solitaire is the classic style of engagement ring
Think back for a moment to a time when you were not actively looking at engagement rings. Recall a time when your imagination and mind was not full of engagement ring designs and styles bouncing around in your head. Try to imagine how you saw an engagement ring in your head back in those simpler days. If I put on my psychic's head for a moment, I think I can tell you what image comes into your mind! You were thinking of a simple gold band with a single large diamond mounted on it. That's a diamond solitaire ring. And no, I am not psychic, but that is how most men and women think of an engagement ring! It is a cultural thing about history, movies, paintings, photos, and books. For most of us, a solitaire diamond engagement ring IS an engagement ring.
A solitaire diamond engagement ring does not send mixed messages; when you wear such a ring, your fiancée’s relationship status is obvious.
A solitaire wears well on any size of hand or finger and is appropriate for any social or business occasion.
2) It's all about the diamond!
When somebody sees a woman wearing a solitaire diamond engagement ring, the focus is on the diamond. The viewer concentrates on the setting, not on small pave set diamonds, not on rubies, sapphires, or emeralds. The story is about the diamond, its size and its quality.
It has become fashionable, usually among people who do not have any diamond jewellery, to say that diamonds are going out of fashion. That's not true - ask any diamond miner about that! Diamonds are still the number one choice for fine jewellery, especially when it comes to engagement rings. And remember this, when you hold a diamond in your hand, you are holding a piece of history. A diamond is a record of extraordinary events that came together over billions of years to make this gorgeous, sparkling gemstone that catches and reflects the light in such a fascinating way.
3) If you prefer a simple, elegant design, then a solitaire ring is an ideal choice.
At All Diamond, we have noticed a trend toward simple designs and settings with single diamonds. These days, for many reasons, including cost, intricate engagement rings with multiple diamonds are very popular. If you choose, it is possible to have a solitaire diamond ring with a complex design. Still, most solitaire buyers prefer to let the diamond be the star.
4) A solitaire engagement ring will make a versatile choice
A solitaire engagement ring has no equal when it comes to versatility. A solitaire will complement most wedding rings. That's because a solitaire engagement ring is simple in design. It does not impose itself or overshadow any other item of jewellery - no matter what its style may be. The simplicity of the precious metal band on most solitaires makes it easy to mix and match colour combinations - platinum and yellow gold, rose gold, and yellow gold. In terms of maintenance and longevity, a solitaire is also a strong contender because they tend not to have lots of complex metalwork, settings, and the like. There is less to wear or be damaged over time.
5) A solitaire diamond engagement ring is a safe choice for men buying on their own
While we go along with modern advice that couples choose their engagement ring together, we know that many guys still prefer to select and purchase on their own. In the same way that your vision of the ideal engagement ring was a solitaire with a large diamond, so too for your fiancée. Since she was young, every engagement fantasy she has had has probably involved a solitaire diamond engagement ring with the biggest, sparkliest diamond in the world. All other choices, no matter how lovely, are probably some kind of compromise! If you have a surprise on your mind (although we hope she won't be TOO surprised), then a solitaire style of ring is the best bet.
