Solitaire Rings

Solitaire rings are stylish, luxurious, everlasting pieces that should be a staple in every jewellery box. The spectacular beauty of a diamond solitaire ring makes it a popular choice as an engagement ring. 

What is a solitaire ring?

A solitaire ring has a singular stone or gem in the centre of a band, creating a simple and elegant look. The band can be made from any precious metal and a diamond, cubic zirconia or another gemstone acts as the centrepiece. Whatever your loved one's tastes, our range of striking solitaire rings will ensure you find exactly what you're looking for.

Solitaire engagement rings

An engagement ring is a symbol of your feelings for your partner. Solitaire rings provide the wow factor, which is one of the main reasons they make an excellent choice for an engagement.

A solitaire diamond ring is one of the most popular types of engagement ring. The classic, timeless design and singular stone, usually a diamond, will be sure to take your loved one's breath away. Some even go one step further with a solitaire ring that has multiple delicate diamonds along the shoulders of the band to beautifully complement the central stone.

Which metal is best for a solitaire ring?

Gold

A very popular choice that's available in different carats: 9ct, 14ct, 18ct and 22ct. The higher the carat, the higher the gold content, which in turn equates to the price, quality, and durability of the ring.

White gold

White gold is an alloy of gold and strengthening metals that give it its silvery colour. The amount of gold used within the ring is clear from the carat and confirmed using a hallmark.

Platinum

Platinum is a naturally occurring precious metal known for its density, durability and silvery-white appearance. Unlike gold, platinum is rarely alloyed with other metals. It doesn't tarnish easily and is highly resistant, making it a popular choice for lifetime jewellery such as a solitaire diamond engagement ring.

Solitaire ring FAQs

What is the best diamond cut for a solitaire ring?

This depends on the style and preference of the wearer, but these options are a great place to start:

·         Princess cut: An elegant, modern choice. A princess cut is a square-shaped diamond that allows the stone to shine and be the star of the show!

·         Round cut: As the name suggests, this diamond shape is round. This makes it less likely to chip and looks stunning regardless of the size.

·         Emerald cut: This rectangular shape has a gorgeous, vintage feel. Often featuring sharp features and angles, it has a show-stopping effect.

·         Cushion cut: Made extremely popular by Kim Kardashian's engagement ring from Kanye West, the cushion cut is like the emerald cut but with slightly rounded corners.

·         Pear cut: One of, if not the most, popular solitaire engagement ring choices in recent years. The shape offers a distinctive look that is sure to attract plenty of compliments.

How do I care for a solitaire ring?

Given that they usually include a precious stone, avoid chemicals or heavy-duty activities that will damage it.

Clean it regularly. Solitaire rings are worn every day, so they will see a lot of build-up and dirt. Warm, soapy water will do fine.

Store it safely in a cushioned jewellery box when you aren't wearing it.
