Solitaire Engagement Rings

FAQs

1. Can a Solitaire Ring be an Engagement Ring?

   Yes, absolutely!

   A Solitaire Ring makes for the most traditional and classic choice of engagement ring owing to its timeless and minimal appeal.

2. Why are Solitaires more expensive?

   You’ll generally find Solitaires to be on the pricier end of the spectrum. The simple reason behind that boils down to the fact that Single Stones are much more rare than multiple small stones. So, if you compare a 1 Carat Solitaire Engagement Ring to the one adorned with (say) a cluster of 0.25 carat Stones, the former would be more expensive than the latter.

   Besides that, the price is also dictated by your choice of Center Stone. While a Solitaire Ring embellished with Diamond or Precious Gemstone would be pricier, a semi-precious gemstone or Moissanite Solitaire Engagement Ring makes for a more pocket-friendly choice.

3. What is a respectable carat size for solitaire engagement ring?

   Before we move forward, it’s important for you to realize that the choice of a respectable carat size for a Solitaire Engagement Ring can vary depending on the personal preferences, budget, and cultural factors. On an average, couples in US opt for a Diamond Solitaire Engagement Ring that weighs around 1.2 carats. But for those who don’t mind spending a little extra and are more fond of larger center stones, a 2 Carat Solitaire Engagement Ring works as a phenomenal choice.

4. Which shape of solitaire is most expensive?

   Owing to their unparalleled brilliance, popularity and timeless appeal, Round Cut Solitaire Engagement Rings tend to be most expensive (when compared to the ones fashioned in fancier shapes)

5. Which shape of solitaire is the cheapest?

   A Marquise Cut Solitaire Engagement Ring is regarded as the cheapest and most affordable choice of ring in terms of shape. The simple reason lies in the fact that it possesses an elongated shape with pointed ends, which allows for maximum carat weight retention during the cutting process, minimizing waste.

6. Is 1 carat Gemstone big enough for a solitaire engagement ring?

   Yes, absolutely!

   In fact, 1 carat is the perfect choice of size for a Solitaire since it is deemed as big enough to put spotlight on all the visual properties of a Diamond or Gemstone. That’s pretty much why a 1 carat Solitaire Engagement Ring is so popular all around the globe.

7. Does a Solitaire Engagement Ring have to be a real diamond?

   No, not necessarily!

   It totally depends upon your personal preference and budget.

   If you fancy a Solitaire Engagement Ring fashioned with a Real Diamond (and more importantly, can afford going for one), nothing like it. But in case you’re on a tight budget, pocket-friendly alternatives like a Cubic Zircon or Moissanite Solitaire Engagement Ring have also surged to popularity. However, if you wish to ditch the diamonds altogether for a little pop of color, you can also go for a Colored Gemstone Solitaire Ring.
