Solitaire rings are by far the most commonly seen engagement rings on the fingers of brides to be. Whether it is the solitaire cubic zirconia ring or DiamondAura solitaire ring for the budget conscious, the Moissanite solitaire ring for the buyer whose budget is a bit more refined, or the diamond ring solitaire that may be big enough to have girlfriends gasping or modest enough to accentuate any kind of outfit the bride to be might be wearing, solitaire rings are a staple of jewelers for a wide variety of reasons. Most generally speaking, a gem stone solitaire ring is a plain band of either gold, white gold, silver, titanium or platinum to which a gem of any kind might be mounted with a prong setting. The latter may be the traditional six prong basket, the Tiffany mount, or the less traditional four prong nest. This kind of diamond solitaire ring capitalizes on the natural luminescence of the gem and thus the display of the cut and polish the diamond underwent is maximized. Diamond solitaire rings are by far the most often requested engagement rings and there is no more durable expression of the undying love a couple may have for one another than with the help of such a timeless gem!
Yet in spite of the age old popularity that solitaire rings enjoy, it is important to understand a bit more about them when you are ready to pick out yours. For example, if solitaire rings are the choice you will make for your engagement ring, pay close attention to the setting that will be used to house your diamond. A princess cut diamond solitaire ring will almost always use a six prong setting which will give it a refined look and keep the gem in place, but depending on the length of the prongs – which is usually defined by the size of the stone – you may find that the prongs may collect lint and little bits and pieces of debris as you go through your day. Cooks especially have reported that food stuffs get sometimes trapped in the basket and thus create unsightly spots near the diamond.
Furthermore, if the solitaire rings you are perusing come with predetermined prong sizes and your gem is too big, you may find that your stone may not be nestled as securely in the setting as it should. On the flipside, the ease with which a prong set diamond engagement ring can be made to become a solitaire diamond wedding ring has many a bride enchanted with the notion of having the stone reset after her nuptials. It is interesting to note that men’s solitaire diamond rings almost always involve a four pronged setting and even though men in general eschew solitaire ring enhancers, women find them irresistible and many emerald solitaire rings can be seen with ruby or diamond enhancers. If you are ready to purchase you ring, be sure to first visit a diamond solitaire ring clearance sale your local jeweler may offer. You may be able to pick up pink sapphire solitaire rings or even a black diamond solitaire ring for less than you would normally expect to spend.
