solitaire
Solitaire is a term used to denote ornaments with a single gemstone(usually a diamond). The word solitaire comes from the Latin word ‘solus’ which means solo or alone. Solitaire ornaments have a single stone attached to the entire ornaments. The ornaments can be rings, earrings, chains, bracelets etc.
Solitaire diamonds
Solitaire diamonds are typically heavier (in terms of carats) than the diamonds set in other jewellery pieces. The word ‘solitaire’ not only refers to just diamonds but also includes other popular gemstones. It just means that there is only one stone set in the entire piece of jewellery. Solitaire diamond jewels, especially the rings, are available in various cuts such as round, princess and cushion cuts.
Other solitaire ornaments
Precious gemstones available in solitaire settings include sapphire, moissanite and platinum. Like the solitaire diamond jewels, the solitaire ornaments made of these objects feature a single large gemstone. The cost of these ornaments depends on carat weight, the industry set calibrations & measurements etc. Normally the solitaire diamonds have a weight not less than 0.30 carats while other jewels might have lighter carat weights.
Solitaire engagement rings
The most popular form of solitaire jewellery is the solitaire rings. Solitaire rings feature a single diamond or other alternative stone. These rings are well known for their simplicity and brilliance. They symbolize auspicious moments like engagements and anniversaries. Buyers prefer these rings due to their exciting features such as uniqueness and elegance. It is easier for you to clean and take care of these rings since they have only a single stone. And also, you do not have to worry about the additional costs related to the side stones.
The quality of a solitaire ring depends on the cut, clarity, carat and colour. Generally, the solitaire diamond rings are costlier than solitaire rings of other gemstones. You can choose the shape, colour and setting according to your taste and budget. One of the most popular stone shapes for an engagement solitaire ring is the round brilliant. The cut of this shape can clearly show off the depth of the stone.
Solitaire rings come in various settings such as peg head setting, basket settings, trellis setting and bezel setting. No matter what style you choose, these rings are beautiful and sure to please any person.
