solitaire engagement rings

Classic solitaire engagement rings

The solitary engagement ring is the main jewel in most marriage proposals. It is the best-selling type of engagement ring and stands out for its simplicity and elegance. In a solitaire ring we find only one diamond, which can be integrated into the base of the ring, or it can be collected with 4 staples (more square-shaped feel) or 6 staples (feeling of a more rounded shape). There is also some type of modern solitaire engagement ring with small diamonds as the center stone.

How to choose the perfect solitaire engagement ring for your partner?

From our experience serving many people who are going to get engaged, we know that you probably do not know all the technical aspects that you should know when buying a piece of jewelry like this that will last a lifetime.

At Staring we will explain everything you should know about diamonds, about metals and about the ring you are going to buy, whether you go to one of our jewelry stores or if you choose to make an online purchase, where one of Our advisors will spend as much time as necessary explaining to you how the process works and all the options you may have.

One of the first things we must do is set an approximate budget, the price of an engagement ring will vary mainly depending on the size of its diamond, the larger the gemstone the higher its price.

What color is best for an engagement ring?

The vast majority of engagement rings are white, in this color, our recommendation is that the engagement ring be in platinum. These are the 4 main reasons: Greater purity, greater hardness, more exclusivity and natural white color.

But if you finally opt for white gold, make sure that it does not require the usual maintenance due to color loss. Your partner would probably prefer not to have to go every year or year and a half to do maintenance on the engagement ring.

At Staring all our solitaire engagement rings can be chosen in 950 Platinum and 14 and 18 carat White Gold. In addition, thanks to its production process that guarantees the best quality in jewelry, the white gold of your engagement ring will always remain white.

You can also choose less common colors like yellow or pink for your ring.

Engagement rings with the best diamonds in the world

The value and price of a diamond can vary greatly depending on its quality. Therefore, it is important to ask what quality of diamond they are offering you and have guarantees that this is really the diamond I am buying.

Focus on these four points. Cut is the most important characteristic of a diamond and determines its brilliance. Our recommendation is that it be EXCELLENT or VERY GOOD.

The second characteristic that we must take into account is Color. Thus, the less color it has and the more transparent it is, the better its quality. Our recommendation is to choose between the best qualities that are determined by these letters: D and E (River) or F and G (Top Wesselton).

The third is Clarity or purity which indicates imperfections or inclusions in the diamond.

Finally, the Weight in carats. At this point, the budget will determine the size of the diamond that will accompany your solitaire ring, which can vary a little depending on the quality you choose.

If the weight of the diamond in your engagement ring is greater than 0.30 carats, always ask for an International Certificate. Our recommendation is the GIA (Gemological Institute of America), which includes all the main characteristics of the diamond.

At Staring you will always get a engagement ring with a GIA certificate and a "Hearts and Arrows" diamondwhen this is 0.30ct. or higher.
