About Our Solitaire Engagement Ring Collection
The solitaire setting is defined by restraint. A single stone sits in a claw or rub-over mount, raised above the band so light reaches it from every angle. Because the central diamond stands alone, the choice of cut becomes the defining decision. Each shape is distinct and the solitaire setting is where that distinction is most fully expressed.
Round brilliant solitaires are the most widely chosen, with their symmetrical form and exceptional light return making them consistently popular across generations. Oval solitaires deliver exceptional brilliance in an elongated outline. Pear cut solitaires taper to a point at one end, creating a distinctive directional shape. Marquise cut stones have an elongated form with pointed ends that maximise the visible surface of the diamond. Princess cut solitaires offer a square silhouette with outstanding brilliance. Emerald cut solitaires have an architectural quality, with long step-cut facets that emphasise clarity and depth over light return. Radiant cut solitaires combine the rectangular form of the emerald cut with a brilliant-style faceting pattern, giving them more fire than a step cut.
Both natural and lab-grown solitaire diamond rings are available across all these cuts in platinum and 18ct yellow gold.
