Overview:
What is a Solitaire Engagement Ring?
A diamond solitaire refers to a style of jewellery in which a singular diamond is the focal point and centrepiece. Not only does this design come in engagement rings but also necklaces and earrings. You’ve definitely come across this setting in your time, maybe you just didn’t know the name for it! In this setting, the silhouette of the setting draws the eye to the brilliance and sparkle of the diamond, and the simple band is elegant to emphasise the diamond. Not only is the solitaire setting used for engagement jewellery but is a favourite setting to celebrate many celebrations in life. Whether it is an anniversary, birthday or graduation, a piece of solitaire jewellery is a beautiful symbol of achievement.
History of the Solitaire
The solitaire diamond ring can be traced all the way back to the Middle Ages and the Romans. The setting started out with a single uncut diamond set on a gold band. These original diamond crystals were acquired by Indian traders and were highly prized by the Romans; ‘The substance that possesses the greatest value, not only among the precious stones but of all human possessions.’ Indian and Islamic jewellers were the first to facet this gemstone and they did so by polishing the stones with a powder of lesser quality diamonds. This process quickly spread around the world and quickly transformed into the earliest form of a facet diamond. It wasn’t until the 1940’s that solitaire diamond rings were popularised as the must-have engagement jewellery until DeBeer’s famous ‘A diamond is forever’ campaign.
