Since we're talking about small engagement rings, it would be better for us to answer one important question before going deeper into the discussion. The question is, how small is "small"? Usually, a small engagement ring has rocks ranging from 0.3 to 1 carat in size standing over a band of metal.
This type of ring has become popular due to a few reasons. First, its smaller size imbues a certain kind of daintiness and elegance about the wearer. Bigger rings are of course very attractive in their own way, but there's just something about these fine little rings that keeps your eyes glued on them. The second reason is a financial one, of course. Compared to bigger-sized rings with big rocks, it's a sure thing that this kind of ring will leave a smaller dent in your pocketbook.
Even though the sole solitaire diamond ring is a classic choice, a lot of new variations of small engagement rings have been popping up. Perhaps because of its small size that's easier to tweak and modify, now you're sure to find one that suits your fancy. Colored rocks and different kinds of metals, from classic to quirky, edgy to romantic, you can have it all. We've gathered some of our favorite picks of small engagement rings to inspire you.
