Even the most minimal engagement ring may be too flashy for a true minimalist bride. For those brides, we suggest a band.

For that reason, picking the right diamond using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cleanorigin.com\/diamonds-4cs\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">the 4 C\u2019s<\/a> is an important step. Our solitaire styles often feature a round center stone, which is the perfect shape for simple settings. When choosing a round diamond, look for brightness, also called brilliance, which will reflect the most light. This comes from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cleanorigin.com\/diamond-cut\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">cut grade<\/a> that you go with. And, although we do not offer any cuts lower than \u2018good,\u2019 minimalist engagement rings would likely do best with an excellent or ideal cut. Couple this with a <a href=\"https:\/\/4cs.gia.edu\/en-us\/diamond-color\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">color grade<\/a> of H or above, and your diamond will speak for itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Diamond Shape For Minimalist Engagement Rings<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"538\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cleanorigin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/loosediamondsonwhite-1-1024x538.jpg\" alt=\"Diamonds Come in a Variety of Shapes, minimalist engagement rings. \" class=\"wp-image-9246\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uat.cleanorigin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/loosediamondsonwhite-1-1024x538.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/uat.cleanorigin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/loosediamondsonwhite-1-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/uat.cleanorigin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/loosediamondsonwhite-1-768x403.jpg 768w, https:\/\/uat.cleanorigin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/loosediamondsonwhite-1.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Diamonds Come in a Variety of Shapes<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Choosing a fun <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cleanorigin.com\/blog\/diamond-shapes\/\">diamond shape<\/a> is a great way to add personality to a minimalist engagement ring. If you\u2019re interested in a &#8220;fancy shape&#8221; diamond (anything other than a round brilliant), you need to do your research. Some shapes, such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cleanorigin.com\/diamonds\/princess-cut-diamonds\/\">princess-cut diamond<\/a>, can look a bit smaller than what you would expect from their weight. But there are tons of options that can make your diamond appear much bigger. For example, emeralds, ovals, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cleanorigin.com\/radiant-diamonds\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">radiant-cut diamonds<\/a> can lengthen the look of your finger and create an illusion to the eye.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Band Metal<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"538\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cleanorigin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Untitled-design-2-copy-4-1-1024x538.jpg\" alt=\"Rose Gold Can Really Jazz up an Understated Ring \" class=\"wp-image-9247\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uat.cleanorigin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Untitled-design-2-copy-4-1-1024x538.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/uat.cleanorigin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Untitled-design-2-copy-4-1-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/uat.cleanorigin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Untitled-design-2-copy-4-1-768x403.jpg 768w, https:\/\/uat.cleanorigin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Untitled-design-2-copy-4-1.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Rose Gold Can Really Jazz up an Understated Ring<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>More likely than not, a simple engagement ring has a lot, if not all, of the metal band exposed (not covered in designs or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cleanorigin.com\/blog\/diamond-accent\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">accent diamonds<\/a>). This is a good chance to add some personal style to your ring by switching up the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cleanorigin.com\/recycled-metals-guide\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">metal color<\/a>. Most of our rings come in platinum, white gold, yellow gold, and rose gold.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you prefer to be less flashy, it may be best to avoid rose gold and yellow gold. Instead, go for the more subtle white gold options. You can choose a simple engagement ring without being boring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Make Your Engagement Ring Stand Out With a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cleanorigin.com\/blog\/bezel-setting\/\">Bezel Setting<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>By making a few bold decisions, you can make simple engagement rings seem unique. By going bold with the diamond shape, you can make a statement with your ring. You can make a play on popular engagement ring styles by choosing an emerald cut diamond or marquise cut diamond to make a play on a classic ring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Think of beautiful simple designs such as an emerald cut diamond in a lovely bezel <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cleanorigin.com\/blog\/setting-for-diamond\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">engagement ring setting<\/a> or a marquise diamond ring with a bezel engagement ring setting. The simplicity of the design will allow that center stone to shine with no need for accent stones.
