What defines simple engagement rings?

Simple engagement rings are minimalist in design, with clean lines and slight embellishments. The focus is on the centre stone or setting, and the overall aesthetic is classic or contemporary.

Styles

One of the most popular engagement ring styles, solitaire is elegant in its simplicity. It features just one gemstone, front and centre, letting its beauty speak for itself without distractions.

You can preserve a solitaire-style head and boost the sparkle by choosing a side stone design, where tiny diamonds line the band, or integrate a subtle hidden halo beneath the solitaire setting.

Some trilogy engagement rings are minimalist. Opt for a design with neat diamond shoulders, or a modern ring where the stones closely match in shape and size and there's no intricate vintage embellishment.

Settings

Prong settings are a common feature in simple engagement rings. Slim strips of metal grip the stone in place, leaving much of the gemstone exposed. This allows maximum light to pass through. You can choose between four-prong and six-prong rings – the six-prong setting offers greater security, safeguarding against damage from knocks.

You may prefer the appearance of a bezel- or semi-bezel stone. Set directly within the band or framed by a ring of metal, they offer a secure setting for the diamond, making it a good option for those who frequently use their hands.

Shapes

You're not restricted when it comes to gemstone and diamond shapes for simple engagement rings. Think about which aligns with your aesthetic and best shows off the stone's qualities. You may want wow-factor brightness or prefer to reveal a gem's depth.

  • Round – A favourite for decades, round diamonds offer maximum sparkle
  • Emerald – Chic and sophisticated, this cut gives a ring a vintage look
  • Pear – This romantic teardrop shape is subtly lengthening
  • Oval – An update on the classic round, with almost as much brightness
  • Princess – Square with sharp corners and sophisticated brilliance

FAQs

*individually for Engagement Rings

In many cases, yes, because simple engagement rings often feature fewer design elements and accent stones. This allows you to focus on the centre diamond or gemstone.

How you choose to customise your ring affects the final cost. For example, silver is a more cost-effective precious metal than platinum, and choosing a lab grown diamond, instead of a naturally sourced one, enables you to buy a higher-carat stone for a similar price.

We offer simple engagement rings from £500, with a choice of designs in each range. You can use the product filter to list the rings by price, low to high.

Absolutely, any investment should be affordable.

"Although tradition dictates that you should spend between 2-3 months’ salary on an engagement ring, many people are choosing to forgo this 'rule' and opt for rings that aren't as costly. Overall, price doesn’t matter – all that matters is that you choose a ring your partner will cherish for years to come. Our simple engagement rings perfectly balance beauty, quality and cost, so you can shop within your price range with confidence. We also offer flexible finance options if you want to spread the cost of your purchase."

– Suzie Sorrell, Senior Designer at Diamonds Factory

Yes, all our engagement rings can be customised. You can personalise a minimalist engagement ring with a diamond shape and setting choice to reflect your or your partner's style and lifestyle. Choose a metal type that aligns with your/their aesthetic. With many of our rings, you can also add an engraving on the inside of the band.

Simple engagement rings are highly versatile and can be paired with classic plain bands or diamond wedding rings depending on your desired look. Simple engagement rings with a low setting might require a shaped wedding band – speak to our experts for a tailored recommendation.

Usually, yes. Because minimalist engagement rings are simple in design, resizing them is typically straightforward. Certain details, such as choosing a diamond-set band, make resizing more challenging. We offer free resizing up or down 1-2 sizes within 30 days of you receiving your ring. For any resizing exceeding two sizes, we'll charge an extra fee. If we cannot resize it, we'll remake it.

Unsure which size to choose? Follow our handy ring size guide or pop into your local Diamonds Factory showroom and try on rings in person.
