Solitaire engagement rings have become jewelry icons. The solitaire diamond ring and its exquisiteness became the symbol of timeless admiration, never-ending love, and the promise of forever. The perfect choice for your one and only, the one who holds your heart.

The solitaire engagement ring as we know it took shape over the last hundred or so years, when advances in diamond cutting and metalwork made it possible to showcase a single stone with clarity and precision. Before the 1900’s, engagement rings featured clusters of gems or elaborate designs, but the solitaire shifted the focus.  With the Solitaire ring, the diamond itself became the focus and message. In 1886, a six-prong setting, lifted the stone above the band, allowing light to enter from every side and redefining how a ring could shine.

What is a diamond solitaire engagement ring?

A solitaire engagement ring has three components: the band, the single diamond, and the stone setting.

The Prong Setting is a popular ring setting. Prongs are small arms or claws that hold a diamond in place. Three to six claws can hold the stone depending on the size and shape of the diamond. The prong setting allows maximum sparkle as the diamond gets hit by light from all angles. This clean and simple stone setting works for all diamond shapes and colors.

Are solitaire engagement rings suitable for everyday wear?

The Bezel Setting is another top selling solitaire engagement ring that is suitable for everyday wear. The bezel setting completely encircles the stone and will not show the sides of the diamond, contrary to the prong settings. Bezel solitaire diamond rings are appreciated for their modern look and ease of wear. This setting is perfect for an active lifestyle as the diamond is held tightly in place by a custom-fit metal. Due to its design, bezel solitaire rings are less likely to catch or snag on clothing. It offers the best protection for the diamond. Round cut diamonds are the most popular choice for bezel solitaire engagement rings.  Brides also are enamored with cuts like pear and marquise, all which are featured on Enchanted Disney Fine Jewelry.

What diamond shapes are most common in solitaire rings?

The Cathedral Solitaire Setting is known for the high-profile look. You will find arched cathedral designs where the band slopes to the same level as the edge of the center stone and is reminiscent of the roofline of a cathedral.

Other solitaire engagement ring settings include the Split Shank setting where the band splits in two as it reaches the lone center diamond, and the Knife Edge setting where the band tapers toward the center stone forming a point for an angular appearance. There is also the famous six-prong setting that is a modern classic.

What makes a solitaire engagement ring popular?

Both timeless and popular, solitaire and halo diamond rings make beautiful representations of your love. The former features a single diamond taking centerstage while the latter showcases a center diamond encircled by smaller diamonds that form a halo effect. 

A halo diamond ring is a beautiful choice for an engagement ring as it has that extra layer of character and brilliance. A solitaire diamond ring offers unrivalled versatility as it pairs with all types of rings, be it a fashion ring or a wedding ring. One cannot go wrong with a solitaire setting.
