Round Solitaire Engagement Rings
Round engagement rings offer classic brilliance and symmetry. Paired with a simple solitaire setting, the round brilliant diamond remains the clear focal point of the design.
Oval Solitaire Engagement Rings
Oval engagement rings combine brilliant sparkle with an elongated silhouette. Their proportions can create an elegant appearance across the finger while maintaining the simplicity of a solitaire design.
Radiant Solitaire Engagement Rings
Radiant engagement rings offer strong brilliance with a more geometric outline, making them an excellent choice for contemporary solitaire designs.
Emerald Cut Solitaire Engagement Rings
Emerald cut engagement rings are defined by step-cut facets and clean lines. A solitaire setting allows the distinctive shape and clarity of the diamond to take centre stage.
Solitaire Engagement Ring Settings
While the defining feature of a solitaire is its single centre stone, the setting itself can dramatically change the appearance of the finished ring.
Popular options include classic four-prong settings, six-prong settings, cathedral shoulders, low-profile baskets, tulip settings and contemporary bezel designs.
For additional detail beneath the centre stone, you may also prefer our Hidden Halo Engagement Rings.

Why Choose a Solitaire Engagement Ring?
Solitaire engagement rings are popular because of their versatility. With no surrounding halo or elaborate side stones competing with the centre diamond, attention remains firmly on the shape, proportions and brilliance of the main stone.
