There’s always something that makes engagement rings stand out. Even if you wear other rings on your fingers, it will be easily noticed. There is little chance that you may not have planned how your special ring looks. Everyone does it and they should. Whether there is a specific design for solitaire engagement rings is debatable.

However, there are certain features which set solitaire engagement rings apart from regular rings

The most important one is that they’ll always have a single stone. In three stone solitaire engagement rings, the centrepiece is always larger than the two side stones. The smaller diamonds highlight the solitaire making it look larger. In any case, the centrepiece is always larger if it is not the only stone on the engagement ring.

Another defining feature of an engagement ring is the metal which is used for the ring. Most people prefer white gold or platinum for their engagement rings. However, you can also use yellow or rose gold if your diamond has some colour in it. One can set stones with some colour on coloured gold. If the diamond is completely colourless then white metal like white gold or platinum works just fine.

There are classic as well as intricate designs in solitaire engagement rings.
