Solitaire Engagement Rings

A solitaire diamond engagement ring typically consists of a solitary center stone, set upon a simple band. Its simplicity is its focus: the beauty of a single stone, without distraction from it. It is the most classic and longest enduring symbol of engagement.

Solitaire style rings suit all diamond shapes! Although round brilliant is the most common cut, marquise, princess, oval, emerald, pear, cushion, radiant and more are also beautiful as the ring's centerpiece. Your choice of the stone's shape is based on your style and how you prefer the stone to sparkle.

Solitaires emphasize the centre stone and an overall simplicity, while halos or three-stones add extra sparkle and/or meaning. If you're looking for something classic and simple, the solitaire is a fantastic choice. If you're looking to add some extra sparkle and design, halos and three-stones styles are great options.

Of course! All solitaire rings at Engage Studio are tailored to you. You can choose the style and width of the band (knife-edge, shoulders or no shoulders, pavé, hand engraving) to the setting and prongs that secure the stone. Even within the “solitaire” category, customizing is endless.

They can be. Because it’s single-stone, you’re primarily paying for the center diamond or stone. That said, the quality and size of the diamond will ultimately determine cost.

Solitaire rings look beautiful in all kinds of metals! White gold for that lustre, yellow gold for a buttery warmth, rose gold can be so soft and romantic, or platinum with that vintage flair. We'll walk you through the qualities of each metal and which metal suits your style and overall design.

Hear us out—don’t get caught up in carat weight! What really determines the size are the millimeter measurements. Three diamonds can all weigh the same in carats, yet look completely different in size. That’s why we always recommend comparing stones side by side in our stone viewing appointment, so you can see how each one actually looks in proportion to your hand.

Not more often than with other styles. Regular inspections and cleaning are recommended. Get the ring professionally serviced every year to ensure the stone is secure and shiny.

Absolutely. Solitaires are incredibly versatile. You can choose from a natural diamond, a lab-grown diamond, even a stone like sapphire, emerald, or even moissanite. That minimalist style creates the opportunity for any center stone to take center stage.
