Solitaire Rings

Diamonds have long symbolized love and commitment, while the modern association of solitaire rings with romance was strengthened through campaigns by Tiffany & Co. and De Beers. Through advertising centered on love and marriage, these brands helped popularize solitaire rings on a broad scale. Since then, this jewelry style has become an enduring symbol of love and commitment for many couples.

A solitaire or engagement ring creates a classic, striking look through simplicity and symmetry and can work with many styles and occasions. Whatever the shape of your hand or fingers, you can find a solitaire design that feels uniquely yours. For those who want something less traditional, colored diamonds or combinations of diamond with yellow or rose gold can offer a distinctive alternative.

The word 'solitaire' comes from the Latin solitarius, meaning alone or solitary. In jewelry, the term generally refers to a ring centered on a single main stone, which is why solitaire rings are also known as single-stone rings. A solitaire typically combines a gold band and setting with one central diamond held in delicate prongs and is one of the most popular engagement-ring styles. The design is intended to keep the center diamond as the focal point. The center stone may be set on a plain band or accompanied by smaller accent stones, while the defining feature remains a single primary diamond.
