Ring Enhancers
Ring enhancers are uniquely designed to be worn with solitaire diamond rings. Their sole purpose is to enhance the solitaire ring with additional diamonds or gemstones, in order to upgrade it’s size and appearance. When worn together, the two rings appear to be a single, multi-stone ring.

Styles of Diamond Ring Enhancers
Popular styles of ring enhancers include ring wraps and ring inserts. A ring wrap is a single band, contoured to fit around a solitaire diamond ring, displaying additional diamonds on both sides of the center stone. This type of enhancer literally wraps around the solitaire diamond without completely encircling the center stone. A ring insert is usually a split, double band which the diamond solitaire ring slides into. In this style of enhancer, accent stones frequently completely encircle the center stone.

The Function of a Wrap
Ring wraps can serve several purposes. They can be used in addition to a wedding band or they can be used as the wedding band itself, creating a coordinated wedding ring set. Ring wraps are sometimes chosen as anniversary gifts or used when renewing wedding vows. In some instances, enhancers have been chosen to wrap around an heirloom solitaire diamond ring, such as a mother’s engagement ring. Mostly, they are used simply to enhance the appearance of a basic, diamond solitaire ring.

Choosing a Ring Wrap
When selecting a ring enhancer, it is necessary to know both the size and shape of your diamond solitaire. The shape of the enhancer must conform to the original ring and allow the center stone to fit properly into the enhancer. Wraps displaying subtle curves are suitable for round diamonds. Pointed ring inserts are better suited for marquise or oval shaped diamonds. When selecting a ring wrap, consider choosing a similar metal to that of your engagement ring. In some instances, women have the ring wrap soldered to their engagement ring to ensure a snug fit at all times. If both rings are the same metal type, your rings will be easier to resize or repair, if needed. Women with short fingers may want to use a wedding ring enhancer as their wedding band. Women with long fingers could wear both a wedding band and a ring wrap. All of these considerations are important in order for the two rings to blend seamlessly together.
