Book a viewingA solitaire engagement ring is one lab grown diamond on a simple band, nothing to distract from the stone. It is the most chosen engagement ring style for good reason: it never dates and it works with any wedding band. Solitaire rings are priced from $1,290, each center stone with an IGI or GIA report.
Why a solitaire works
With a solitaire, the diamond does all the talking. That makes the stone the place to put your budget. Because lab grown diamonds cost far less than mined stones of the same size and grade, many people choose a larger or whiter center than they first planned. A solitaire shows off that choice cleanly.
It is also the easiest style to live with. There are fewer small stones to check, it slips under gloves and sleeves more easily, and any band sits beside it.
Prongs, bezels and profile
The setting is where solitaires differ:
- Four prongs show more of the diamond and look a little more square.
- Six prongs look rounder and hold the stone with extra security.
- A bezel wraps the diamond in a thin rim of metal. It is the most protective choice and feels modern.
- A cathedral profile lifts the stone on arches; a low profile sits closer to the finger.
Band width matters too. A slim band makes the center look bigger. A wider band feels sturdy and suits larger hands. At the showroom we keep samples in each style so you can try them on in a few minutes.
Which shape for a solitaire
Every shape works. A round solitaire gives the most sparkle. An oval solitaire looks larger and lengthens the finger. An emerald cut solitaire looks calm and architectural. If you want a little extra sparkle without losing the clean look, a hidden halo is a solitaire from the top with diamonds tucked underneath.
Choosing the center stone
Since the stone is the whole look, give it time. Cut comes first, then color and clarity. Our guide to the 4Cs walks through it, and every stone we show comes with its report number so you can check it yourself.
Tell us the shape, size and budget on the stone request page. We pull three to five matching lab diamonds and set them next to the solitaire settings you saved. Then book a viewing on 47th Street and see the finished look on your hand.
Questions
Asked at the showroom
Four prongs or six prongs?
Four prongs show more of the diamond and look slightly square. Six prongs look rounder and add security. A bezel is the most protective option. We have samples of each so you can try them on.
Where should I spend my budget on a solitaire?
On the center stone, since it is the whole look. Cut comes first, then color and clarity. Lab grown diamonds often let people choose a larger or whiter center than they first planned.
Does a solitaire go with any wedding band?
Almost always. A solitaire leaves room beside it, so straight, curved, plain and pave bands all sit well. Bring your ideas and we will try the pairings at the showroom.
