FAQs about Solitaire Engagement Rings
What is a solitaire engagement ring?
A solitaire engagement ring is a ring that features just one stone set on a metal band. The stone is usually a diamond, but gemstones can also be used for solitaire rings. This solitary stone is set proudly on a metal band without any other stones. A solitaire engagement ring typically features prong, bezel or channel settings, though other styles are also available.
How much should I spend on an engagement ring?
There's an age-old saying that you should spend three months' salary on an engagement ring, but that may not align with your personal budget. Because there are so many factors that go into the price of a ring—such as the metal, stone size, stone quality, and setting—it's easy to find a beautiful solitaire engagement ring to fit any budget.
