The definition of solitaire can be a card game played by one person with one or more packs of cards; a game played by one person with marbles or pegs on a board with holes; an American thrush from the genus Myadestes who has a short broad bill and is renowned for its beautiful singing; a large extinct flightless bird related to the dodo that inhabited the Mascarene Islands and finally the subject we are concerned with – a single diamond. The term solitaire indicates the ring has a single diamond rather than a cluster of diamonds or side stones and their attraction is that they display the diamond in the best possible way drawing all the attention to the beauty of the stone.
Diamond solitaires are the most popular choice for engagement rings as they are the most valuable of all stones and offer the best investment. A diamond solitaire ring stands out for people to admire and screams “only the best for me”. They are the most enduring piece of jewellery that I can think of, as hopefully they represent something or someone who is very special and will go through life with you. It is therefore important that you purchase the best diamond available within your budget.
The best value for money is obtained when purchasing a loose stone, but make sure it is certified. By doing this you will also be able to select your own unique setting for that diamond. The term solitaire does not only apply only to round diamonds as every shape can be used for a ring. There are many cuts to choose from, but the most popular solitaire diamond ring shapes are round, oval, radiant, emerald, Asscher, marquise, cushion, pear and heart. And just when you think you have finally decided on the ring then along comes the setting. Prongs are the easiest and most common way to set diamonds, but there are several other ways to set a diamond in a solitaire ring including bezel, channel and tension. As you will be starting to work out from all the above, it is vital to get expert advice and guidance when making such an important purchase as a diamond solitaire ring.
