Before exploring the world of engagement rings and wedding bands, it's important to clearly identify them in order to unlock all their secrets. While engagement rings are often more elaborate and expensive than wedding bands, the main difference between the two lies in the meaning and timing of the gift. An engagement ring is given before marriage as a promise of future union. A wedding ring, on the other hand, is given during the ceremony, once the promise has been formalized in vows.
The solitaire ring, featuring a single diamond set on a simple band, is extremely common and remains the most widely used. This classic style is timeless and elegant, and allows the diamond to be the focal point of the ring. Diamonds blend perfectly with all metals, such as yellow gold, rose gold or even white gold. The difference lies in the diamond selected for the ring. Discover our Collection Delia composed of a solitaire.
