The round solitaire is far and away the most popular of all engagement ring styles and shapes. This is probably due to its relatively simple design and its classic look and feel. At the end of the day you can't go wrong with a round solitaire diamond engagement ring.

Another reason this type of ring is so popular is because they can be the cheapest if you are budget conscious. Prices for a good quality diamond can be as low as $200, but remember that does not include the setting and ring itself. These can add several hundred dollars depending on the material you choose.

However, not all rings using the round solitaire shape are cheap or even affordable (unless you are Donald Trump or Bill Gates). Currently, Bluenile.com has round diamonds that cost in excess of $1.3 million. So as you can see round solitaire diamond rings can run the range from ultra affordable to ridiculously extravagant. You can see a good mix of this at different price points in our listings above.

Now, I am going to assume that you are looking for something that costs a little less than $1 million. Obviously, if you had that kind of budget you could get exactly what you want but for the rest of us there will have to be some compromises made in terms of the ring we choose.

As I am sure you already know the price of most diamonds are determined by the 4 Cs – cut, clarity, color and carat. Of these, carat is the most important, since carat reflects the size of the stone. Bigger stone, more expensive ring! This has both good and bad implications.

First, the bad; if you want a big diamond you are going to have to pay a lot of money to get it. There is no other way. The good news is that if you can live with a smaller diamond, there are deals to be had. For most round diamond solitaire engagement rings, it makes sense to get a smaller, higher quality diamond rather than a bigger lesser quality one.

This means you should opt for one that has higher color, clarity and cut ratings rather than just focusing on carat weight. These are the factors that really make a diamond sparkle, not its size. So do yourself a favor spend the extra money opting for quality over quantity.

Finally, when selecting a round diamond engagement ring keep in mind that the metal used for the setting and ring itself can also have a big impact on price. 14K Gold is about the cheapest realistic metal you could use, but I would personally opt for 18K Gold since it just looks nicer. And if you really want to splurge you can always opt for platinum but this will raise raise the price of your ring.
