Despite the many designs, settings and styles available, diamond solitaire engagement rings remain bride-to-best most timeless and popular choice. While it may seem deceptively simple, a diamond solitaire can still be a unique ring designed to suite any tastes!
What is Diamond Solitaire Ring?
Solitaire means One. This means the ring has one simple diamond, without side stones, accent stones, or other gem embellishments. Solitaire rings need not be dull or plain, however, and for many women, the simple elegance of a single, sparkling stone is the ultimate symbol of the single love that two people share.

How big should your Diamond be?
Probably you may seem that in order to have a ring using a single diamond, the stone must be larger than average. Not to worry! There are many alternatives to choosing a larger stone, however, that highlight the characteristics of the ring rather than the sheer size of the diamond.
Band Size:
A smaller stone paired with a thinner band helps emphasize the diamond and produces a delicate solitaire ring, perfect for slender fingers.

The band can be 2 tones or etched to add intricacy and depth, or it can be given an unusual shape such as a wave or curve that draws attention to the ring as a whole rather than just the diamond.

Shapes of Solitaires:
While the most popular shape is the round, there are many other diamond shapes that can create a beautiful ring without additional stones. Marquise, pear, emerald, and oval-shaped stones all elongate the diamond and appear larger than they may be. A single heart or trillium-shaped stone is distinctive and eye-catching for its uniqueness, minimizing the importance of the stone’s size while the eye focuses on the shape.

There are many choices for engagement ring settings, and while a solitaire ring is by definition excluded from the multiple-setting category, it is not limited to commonplace options. The most popular is the prong setting, but the size and number of the prongs can vary to highlight the best features of the stone. Bezel, flush, tension, and arched settings are all appropriate choices. Because there is only one stone, however, channel settings are not recommended as they will obscure the best qualities of the diamond.
