Unique Solitaire Engagement Rings
Today, and especially in the west, a marriage proposal almost always involves the giving of an engagement ring. And thanks to the globalization of culture and marketing efforts of companies like DeBeers. It is becoming more common in the rest of the world as well. It is still the most popular engagement ring style. Our Unique Custom Solitaire Engagement Rings reflect the love of the bride and groom: pure, innocent and endless. But where does this tradition come from?
The first engagement rings date back to the Ancient Egyptians. In the 2nd century BC, women were given two rings upon becoming married, a gold band that they wore in public and one in iron which was worn at home.
This Sculptural Engagement Ring is a type of solitaire ring that we just love. The shank is a wave of motion is it travels from one end of the ring to the opposite end. So you won’t even miss the accent stones! And the 6 prong basket securely holds even the largest stone intact.
The First Engagement Rings
The Romans wore the wedding ring on the left ring finger because the woman’s heart supposedly belonged to the person who gave her the ring. This tradition stemmed from the idea that there runs a vein through this finger, which is connected directly to the heart. Because of this belief, the Romans called that vein the “vena amoris” or vein of love, a name which still is used today.
Showcase a beautiful stone with this 2 Tone Solitaire Ring! The shank in the elegant ring splits and loops around the prongs. It is shown in white and yellow Gold, but can always be cast in one metal.
Initially, gold, silver, and and steel were used to create wedding ring, as these are solid materials which symbolize continuity and strength. Today, gold, silver and platinum are used more because steel doesn’t lend itself to today’s Unique Solitaire Engagement Rings.
The Significance of the Diamond in Engagement Rings
The giving of a diamond solitaire engagement ring was first recorded in 1477, when the archduke Maximilian of Habsburg gave a diamond engagement ring to his future wife, Marie de Bourgogne. In the beginning, this habit was largely limited to the wealthy. However, the practice gradually became more bourgeois as a result of the discovery of vast diamond mines in South Africa in the mid 1900’s. Thanks to a marketing campaign led by a South African diamond company that was represented in the United States, this practice spread more and more.
This beautiful solitaire engagement ring is a beautiful take on the traditional solitaire engagement ring. The dainty bands wrap around the 6mm center stone for a totally new look.
Someone has said that diamonds are forever, which makes them an ideal medium to represent the love between a bride and groom.

We want our Unique Solitaire Engagement Rings to symbolize this eternal union and so we won’t limit your vision by only offering a few stone choices.
