Stun with a Solitaire A solitaire ring relies on one center stone to make a statement. Because of this, many women like to add a wedding band to enhance their engagement ring. In earlier eras, wedding bands were not extremely common and an engagement ring stood on its own as a symbol of marriage. Also, wedding bands tend to take on more damage over the years. Because of this, it can be somewhat challenging to find an exact match for your antique solitaire engagement ring. But don’t worry! There are options to help you find the perfect band to accentuate your engagement ring. One option is to consider purchasing a wedding set. If you are able to find an antique ring that has a matching wedding band, your work is done. However, you might find yourself in love with a unique ring that does not feature a band.
