Even celebrities like Kate Middleton appreciate a simple style diamond engagement ring! If you’re looking for simple engagement rings but you’re not sure where to start, we’ve got you covered.
What is A Simple Engagement Ring?
Simple engagement rings are about exuding elegance and maintaining a classic look. The perfect balance of glamour and minimalist details are, as a general rule, what makes an engagement ring simple in style. These rings tend to have smaller diamonds, timeless features, and few accent stones. The main highlight of these engagement rings is the center stone, which can be in a fancy cut or bezel setting but otherwise is meant to be set simply.
