Some engagement ring trends come and go, but there's one style that will always have our hearts: the solitaire engagement ring! Simple, elegant, and endlessly versatile, solitaire engagement rings have remained one of the most beloved engagement ring styles for generations. Whether your dream ring features a sparkling moissanite, a brilliant lab diamond, or a colorful gemstone, a solitaire lets your center stone shine in the most beautiful way! Today, we're sharing why solitaire engagement rings never go out of style and highlighting a few of our favorite handcrafted designs. Let's dive in!
What Is A Solitaire Engagement Ring?
A solitaire engagement ring features a single center stone without additional side stones. It's the ultimate "less is more" design, creating a look that's clean, timeless, and effortlessly elegant!
But don't let the simplicity fool you! Solitaires can be personalized in so many ways. From different stone shapes and gemstone choices to unique prong styles, cathedral settings, bezel settings, hidden details, and unique baskets, every solitaire can feel completely one of a kind!
Why Solitaire Engagement Rings Never Go Out Of Style
There's a reason solitaire engagement rings have been loved for centuries, they're simply timeless!
They Never Feel Trendy
One of the biggest reasons solitaire engagement rings remain so popular is because they don't chase trends, they outlast them! Their clean, minimal design feels just as beautiful today as it did decades ago, and it'll still look stunning years from now. If you're searching for an engagement ring you'll love forever, a solitaire is always a safe (and gorgeous!) choice!
They Let Your Center Stone Shine
With no side stones competing for attention, your center stone becomes the star of the show! Jeweler Bestie Shirley says whether you choose a sparkling moissanite, a lab diamond, a colorful sapphire, or a different unique stone, a solitaire puts all eyes on your beautiful gemstone! Sometimes, one stone is all you need to make a statement.
