Diamond Solitaire Engagement Rings

There are lots of ways to make a solitaire engagement ring design more unique or personalized.

Often referred to as single-stone engagement rings, there are many style and setting options to choose from within the solitaire family. The most popular choice is a prong-set solitaire. This sees the center stone held within four or six metal prongs surrounding the stone, holding it in place, maximising the amount of light that passes through the center stone. For even further customization, these prongs, also known as claws, come in a variety of shapes.

For a lower, more secure design, a bezel setting offers a contemporary take on a classic style. The center stone is encased seamlessly with a piece of metal – combining security with a clean, modern aesthetic.

This setting style is ideal for those who keep active or work with their hands, as it offers a further element of protection to the center stone.

Other customisations include tension settings, cathedral styles, engraved bands, filigree details in the collet-the possibilities for solitaire engagement rings are as numerous as they eye-catching.

Solitaire engagement rings can vary in cost depending on the thickness of the band, whether the band has pave or not, and the size of the center stone.

The solitaire is a simple design for an engagement ring, but no less meaningful. The circular form of the band represents renewal and eternity as circles have no beginning and no end. Circles are symbolic of planets, especially the sun and the moon, and symbolize life’s interconnectedness.

A solitaire engagement ring combined with a single diamond or gemstone could come together to represent a myriad of meanings. A diamond is symbolic of light, brilliance, and pure love. If you’re looking for something more dynamic, pair a solitaire band with a gemstone. We offer a spectrum of different colored gemstones, from luscious emeralds to neon blue Paraiba tourmalines. Pair a yellow gold solitaire band with a ruby center gemstone, and your engagement ring would be the perfect symbol for passion and love. Pair a platinum solitaire engagement ring with a deep blue sapphire, and your blue ring would represent serenity and stability, great values to carry forth in a marriage!

Each diamond shape has its own meaning as well. For example, the round brilliant cut diamond represents commitment while the oval diamond shape represents rebirth and fertility. A pear shaped diamond reminds us of two arms embracing, and is meant to symbolize an intimate bond.

Solitaire engagement rings are such an iconic ring style, so it’s no wonder celebrities gravitate towards the beautiful simplicity of this ring. Minimal and chic, a solitaire ring suits every occasion, whether it be the red carpet or your everyday errands!
