Solitaire Rings for Valentine’s Day Sweethearts
A solitaire is one of the oldest and most classic, type of ring settings. Since antiquity, solitaire rings have been given as gifts and worn as adornment in day-to-day life. A solitaire ring setting, featuring a single exquisite gemstone, makes for a classic gift that is sure to be treasured for years, and even used as an heirloom one day!
While reds, pinks, and whites are all traditionally associated with Valentine’s Day gifts, there are many options available when selecting a solitaire ring gemstone. Your lover’s birthstone is a safe, thoughtful choice, and especially perfect for those of a sentimental disposition. Diamonds are a classic choice, but more frequently these precious stones are considered for solitaire engagement rings. Sapphires, rubies, and emeralds are the traditional precious stones, and each is a stunning example of what can be achieved in a carefully selected solitaire ring setting. Luckily, the varieties of rare and exotic gemstones available on the market present endless opportunities when choosing the perfect ring.

Engagement rings have had their roots traced as far back as the Roman Empire. In this time of antiquity, women wore rings that symbolized their husband’s ownership. Certainly, not very romantic! However, the first engagement ring, as we understand them today, was created in the 15th century. The Archduke Maximillian of Austria had a diamond ring commissioned for his finance, Mary of Burgundy.
While diamonds are the traditional engagement ring stone, there are plenty of suitable options available in contemporary times! Moissanite provides a fiery alternative to diamond, while stones such as tanzanite and sapphire have proved popular in recent years.
Whether you wish to give solitaire rings as a romantic gift, or you’re ready to make a larger commitment in your life, it is a classic Valentine’s Day gift and brilliant choice!
