About Solitaire Rings

What are solitaire engagement rings?

A solitaire engagement ring, also called a single-stone ring, highlights one stone—typically a diamond, often in a round brilliant cut, but sometimes in a more unusual shape. The simplicity of solitaire diamond rings allows the central stone to take centre stage, symbolising the union of two partners as one.

What is the history of solitaire engagement rings?

Since the late 19th century, De Beers popularised solitaire diamond rings with the slogan, “A diamond is forever.” Iconic images of glamorous women wearing these rings helped make solitaire engagement rings a symbol of enduring love across the world, representing a lasting bond between partners. This tradition continues today as solitaire diamond rings remain a popular and timeless choice.

Why choose a diamond solitaire engagement ring?

Solitaire diamond engagement rings are ideal for those who appreciate elegance, timelessness, and romance. Their minimalist appeal suits those with a refined aesthetic, and a round brilliant diamond in platinum remains a favourite. For a fresh twist, consider a unique diamond shape, like a princess or pear cut.

Is a solitaire diamond ring a good choice for an engagement ring?
