Is a solitaire ring too plain?

While they are known for their understated beauty, solitaire rings do not always have to be simple or ‘plain’. Elaborate designs can be incorporated into the ring through the band design or setting of the center stone. Bold, or even multi-colored gemstones can also be set in solitaire to give a ring more character.
