Solitaire Diamond Engagement Ring Settings

As "solitaire" simply means one, the Solitaire Diamond Ring Settings represent ring settings where there is only one center diamond placed on the band. Solitaire diamond ring means that there is one stone, one diamond that is in the main focus of the ring and there are no other gem stones or diamonds placed on the metal setting of the band. 

Solitaire diamond engagement rings represent simple and clean elegance. The famous jewel designer company, Tiffany's & Co., introduced the first solitaire diamond ring in 1886. It was a diamond on a six-prong setting. The uniqueness of the solitaire diamond engagement rings is the in ability to enhance the beauty of the diamond. While in most rings the design is the most important, in solitaire diamond engagement rings the emphasis is on the diamond.

According to some opinions and tastes, the solitaire diamond engagement rings are very simple and plain and therefore little bit dull. But in my opinion, the solitaire engagement rings do not need to be dull or boring and for many women, they represent simple elegance of a single, sparkling stone which can be the ultimate symbol of single love that two people share together.

When you decide to buy Solitaire Diamond Ring Settings you should decide to buy better quality diamond (considering the 4Cs that a diamond has) because if there is only one diamond placed on the metal setting, that one diamond better to be of higher quality.  

Before you make decision which loose diamond will be placed on the metal setting, you must decide what kind of setting you will take or more precisely what metal. You can choose different types of metal, for example platinum or gold. If it is gold it will be white or yellow gold etc. 

Many online diamond jewelry shops sell 18 karat and 14 karat gold, but my advice will be to go with 18 karat gold since it is has higher gold pureness. If you choose platinum or white gold, it will give  the ring stunning elegance, as the diamond matches the metal into which it is set, but if you prefer yellow gold, than it will really let the diamond stand out and be main focal point. For more info about the gold pureness and karats, you can read here...

In case you are on lower budget and can not afford more expensive diamond rings, then again my choice is to go with solitaire diamond ring settings because the other diamond ring settings with more diamonds or gems placed on the metal setting will increase the ring price.

Black Diamond Rings may be your best diamond rings

When the man decides to ask his loved one to marry him, usually what we see like in the old Hollywood romantic movies-he kneels down and presents her with beautiful sparkly diamond engagement ring. In nowadays, our style preferences have changed but one thing has never changed and that are the diamond rings. Should black diamond rings be our selection for our perfect ring?

Black Diamond Rings are pretty much in fashion in the past couple of years. And not only Carry from Sex And The City had her engagement ring with black diamonds, but I believe every fashionista should have black diamond ring if not engagement ring with black diamonds. They can come in wide variety of metal settings although me personally I prefer black diamond rings set up in white gold instead of yellow gold. Although you can make combination and get black and white diamond rings where on white gold metal setting, you can make combination of white and black diamonds that create perfect contrast of shiny, sparkly effect that white diamonds have and mat effect of the black diamond.

Black diamond rings for me are little bit of paradox. Usually when we talk about diamonds, first thing you think of is their sparkle that makes them stunning. Well unlike the sparkly white diamonds, the black diamond rings don't sparkle, because they are black. They simply have black color which from physics point of view, doesn't let them shine because they absorb the light rather than reflect it.

These black diamond rings or so called "Carbonado" diamond rings are made of black diamonds. Some people ask if these black diamonds are real diamonds. Yes, they are real diamonds, it's just that they have a different crystalline structure and color.  The regular crystal structure of the diamond is what causes the sparkle: light comes in, bounces around in a predictable way, and is bounced out.  Black diamonds have a "polycrystalline" structure, which means it's kind of like many diamonds smashed together.  Since they're all at different angles, and so you can't carve it to make sparkles.  Instead, the light just gets absorbed, making it black.

It's still a pure carbon crystal, so in Brazil where they usually come from-they call it at "Carbonado". I have seen in many jewelry stores they sell black diamond rings as exotic diamonds, but to be honest they don't sell so well like the other white diamonds because for some people they are not very pretty. 

Of course I disagree with this saying that black diamond rings are not so attractive because of the black diamonds color, but at the end everything is so relative and everything depends on people's individual taste and style.

To prove my point that black diamond rings can be very beautiful, I have attached some pictures below. For me black diamond rings are must have for every fashionable and stylish woman. Black diamond rings are very mysterious and perfect choice for sophisticated, strong and independent woman. There are so many beautiful black diamond rings or black and white diamonds rings that you can choose from and the options are endless.

How Much To Spend On Engagement Rings?

How much to spend on engagement rings is question that many men ask themselves. My father always says that there is no silly question, but only silly answer, therefore I believe that first of all, this is very personal question and answering how much to spend on engagement rings can be little bit complicated.

You ask me why? Well, first of all, many men don’t know should they buy diamond engagement ring or not. Here in Europe for example, many people buy engagement rings not with diamond but with big pearl or big Swarovski crystal and many other smaller pearls or crystals set around the big center stone.  Therefore, your best diamond rings can be all different.

So how can one know how much to spend on engagement rings when there are so many different types of rings made from different metal with different stone. It is all up to the individual taste of the buyer, but me as a woman I strongly believe that diamond engagement rings are the best and every girl no matter what she says, deep down she wants diamond ring from her loved one. So why not to buy her the best diamond rings?!

Here we say – “Buy ring with diamond since it is the strongest stone, so your love will be also forever strong”. So my choice is to go for diamond engagement ring.

Now to get back to my question on how much to spend on engagement rings. Well, I think it totally depends on the person and how much he earns. Should it be two or three monthly salaries or only one, since now it is global crisis and we shouldn’t spend so much money on luxury products? But then again, it is engagement ring and you will be giving to your loved one and you want to spend the rest of your life with her so you want to make her happy and you don’t want to look very cheap, so the answer on how much to spend on engagement rings will be not too little for sure. She will never say to you why you bought here cheap ring, but I believe that this thought at least one time will come to her mind.

So my advice is to go with price range that you can afford and you feel comfortable with it. Like general rule on how much to spend on engagement rings in many cases is 2 or 2,5 monthly salaries. You don’t need to pay an arm and leg for the engagement ring, therefore generally you should spend amount of around 2 to 4 your salaries, but then again - only you know how much to spend on engagement rings and how much you can afford.

If you can’t afford more, then go with price of your 1 salary and don't feel ashamed about it. I know that it's crisis and many say we should save and we shouldn’t spend a lot of money on diamond jewelry because we don’t know what will happen tomorrow. But still here we are talking about your girl’s diamond engagement ring and you don't want to save money on your future wife. Plus every girl wants diamonds secretly or not, so my advice is to start saving little money before you go and purchase diamonds.

In case you can afford more, my suggestion is still not to go over 5 or 6 salaries, because even with keeping smaller budget of 2-4 salaries, you can find very beautiful diamond engagement rings and I believe you don’t need to exaggerate on how much you spend on engagement rings. If you want to lavish your loved one with expensive presents, you can always buy her more diamond presents later on, if you are this big spender type.

Well guys, I hope this helps when you think on how much to spend on engagement rings. Of course, this is only my opinion and I say it from woman's point of view. If you agree or disagree with me, please feel free to leave comments about what you think men should do and how much to spend on engagement rings.
