Do you want to go it alone or do you want to come full circle? While you're out shopping for an engagement ring, think about what kind of approach will work best for you in terms of sweeping your beloved off her feet.
When you walk into a jewelry store's bridal section, you'll be greeted by a vast array of wedding and engagement jewelry that has been laid out before you. Typically, you'll notice that the store has divided the rings into two categories: engagement rings and wedding rings.
The solitaire engagement ring is what many people envision when they think of an engagement ring: a single, beautiful diamond set in a simple or lightly adorned setting that is simple or elegant. It's a timeless design that has stood as a symbol of betrothal for many generations.
In terms of engagement rings, however, there are a plethora of options to consider: rings with multiple diamonds or colored gemstones, rings with three diamonds or colored gemstones, rings with stones adorning the circumference of the ring...

Rather than opting for a simple, classic solitaire, you've decided to go with a ring that has more design, allowing your future bride to express herself through her own personal style and taste. Your only limitations are your imagination and financial means — you can find an engagement ring to suit virtually any taste, lifestyle, or personality. (And if you can't find what you're looking for, you can always design it yourself.)
Here are a few reasons why you should consider a non-solitaire engagement ring:
Engagement rings often look different from wedding bands or anniversary bands (which often have uniformly sized diamonds running around the ring). But sometimes a diamond or gemstone band is the best choice for an engagement ring.
Some eternity or anniversary bands have a lower profile than traditional solitaire engagement rings, though they can have more overall shine and sparkle depending on their design.
