The Ultimate Gesture: A Diamond Solitaire Ring

Did you know that the word “diamond” is derived from the Ancient Greek word “adamas,” meaning unbeatable or everlasting? No wonder we say “diamonds are forever.” And, did you know that the very first well-documented use of a diamond engagement ring was in 1477, when Archduke Maximillian of Austria had one made for his betrothed, Mary of Burgundy? He did start a trend then that was followed by the elite, who gave diamond solitaire rings as a symbol of their love.

Today, however, the solitaire rings are accessible by just about anyone and have become one of the most popular choices for engagement rings. In these rings, a single diamond is set on a precious metal band, which could be gold, silver, or platinum. Since diamonds are known to be the hardest and most durable of all gemstones, they rightly denote never-ending love and devotion. In fact, today, solitaire rings for women can be gifted for any significant occasion, from a milestone birthday to a career achievement and more.

A recent survey of 7,000 women by the magazine, TheKnot, revealed that 25% had received a diamond solitaire ring. The classic elegance and timelessness of the solitaire make them among the most popular rings for women. But before you buy solitaire rings online, here’s what you should know for an informed decision.

Choose the Shapes of the Diamond Solitaire

Since the solitaire is the central focus of the ring, the first step for most people is to choose the shape of the gemstone. Surveys have revealed that the round shape is the most popular, with 53% of all engagement rings including this shape of solitaire. The popularity of this shape comes from its multifaceted cut which maximizes the sparkle of the gemstone while showing off the diamond's depth.

At Jewelili, we bring you the widest selection of diamond rings online, so that you can choose the shape of stone and metal band that you love the most. Here’s a look at the other popular styles of diamond solitaire rings.

1. Half Round Solitaire
If you’ve seen the more common six-pronged round solitaire, this type should be more familiar to you, since it is a variation of this style. The rounded prong is more elegant, with a ring shank that is geometrically flat underneath. If you are looking for a six-prong solitaire diamond ring for women, you will find them right here at Jewelili.

2. Princess-Cut Solitaire
As the name suggests, this shape is derived from royalty and has four prongs supporting the main diamond. The metal band has four prongs holding up the precious stone, often with other gemstones surrounding the solitaire. Don't forget to check out our range of princess-cut gemstones when you buy solitaire rings at Jewelili.

3. Bezel-Cut Solitaire
This type of engagement ring has gained popularity in recent times because it is better at keeping the diamond in position, even during physical activity that might impact the ring. The diamond is held in place with a full bezel, with no sharp edges. However, if you are looking for a classic solitaire ring, this might not present the same timeless look.

Some of the other popular styles of diamond solitaire rings include cushion, pear and radiant cuts.

Choose the Setting of the Solitaire

Once you've decided on the shape that you love the most, the next thing to check for is the style of setting. This means the way the stone is attached to the metal body of the ring. Given that you would want the ring to last a lifetime, the setting should be secure enough to ensure that the diamond or gemstone stays in place even with everyday wear.

One of the most popular settings is prongs, where metal claws hold on to the gemstone from below. These metal strips are welded onto the body of the ring to ensure durability. Since they hold the stone slightly above the metal, the details of the cut and the shine are maximized.

Another popular option is the cathedral setting, where the metal body encases and protects the gemstone. It gets its name from the similarity in appearance to the vaulted cathedral ceilings.

The bezel setting, as mentioned earlier, is a more modern adding and therefore sleeker in appearance. The metal band completely surrounds the gemstone, following the shape of the diamond.

Lastly, the tension setting has a unique look, where the diamond seems to be floating in place on the metal body. With no metal under the gemstone, its shine is much brighter.

Frequently Asked Questions about Diamond Solitaire Rings

If you have further questions about diamond solitaire rings don’t skip the FAQ section below:

At Jewelili, diamond solitaire rings start at a little more than $100. You can also take a look at elegant princess cuts or oval-shaped diamond solitaire rings that could cost up to a few hundred dollars. In general, these rings are more expensive because you need a bigger-sized diamond or gemstone to be the focal point. But we always work to ensure the most competitive pricing, without compromising on the quality of the gemstones used.

2. What is the difference between a solitaire ring and a diamond ring?
As the solitaire ring is often a diamond ring but not all diamond rings are solitaire rings. Solitaire rings consist of mainly one gemstone, with the most popular being diamonds. However, when there is more than one diamond on the ring it cannot be called a solitaire ring.

3. How to store diamond solitaire rings?
When you buy solitaire rings online at Jewelili, you receive the ring in an elegant box, which is great for storing the jewelry item as well. It ensures that the ring does not rub against any hard surfaces or sharp edges, keeping the ring looking as good as new for years.

4. Why is a solitaire ring so expensive as compared to other diamond rings?
A solitaire ring consists of one large high karat diamond. The price of the ring rises with the number of karats and clarity of the singular diamond. Other diamond rings may have multiple small diamonds, which makes them more affordable.

5. What is the best place to buy solitaire rings in the USA?
