Versatile, timeless, symbolic — explore the everlasting ethos of the most recognized style in bridal jewelry.
Debuting in the 19th century, the solitaire engagement ring has ridden industry waves with poise. Initially created to highlight one stone, simplistic prong settings encouraged maximum brilliance for any center with little need for added design — refined, and regal.
A dominating force in the bridal jewelry industry, the style has proved to be both a statement and starting point for many. From sleek, simple designs to unique stone shapes and metals, the solitaire engagement ring can hold multitudes of style opportunities. Read on to discover options designed for any bride: classic or on-trend for subtle, stylish daily wear, 3C flexibility for sentimental statements, or die-struck pieces made for durability.
Solitaire Engagement Rings: Classic vs. Trending
Much like the new chapter they embody, solitaire engagement rings shine as foundational pieces for couples. Through the test of time, the style has evolved to represent any bride-to-be yet remains outstanding and memorable.
Explore selections of solitaires that ring in the familiar, lasting essence, and gracefully take it to the next level.
Cherished Classics
According to a survey done by The Knot, data showed that in 2021 alone, up to 35% of engagement rings were prong-set, deeming it the most popular style and solidifying its well-earned status. Core and streamlined elements such as four-prong settings and stunning metals allow the center stone to be the focus — the quintessential solitaire.
While subtle solitaire mountings can still be fascinatingly inviting, a little extra charm slightly elevates the classic. Experiment with fancy shapes, prong count, and delicate settings for a piece that remains timeless.
On-Trend Twists
Whether structural and defined or soft and enchanting, on-trend solitaire engagement ring styles add flair to the well-loved staple. Interesting shapes, modern settings, and textures elevate the traditional to a new level.
Maintain aesthetic design with playful and contemporary additions to the faithful favorite like two-toned or split-shank styles. Hidden details encourage interesting visual appeal, while bezel and geometric settings offer center-enhancing options for the modern or vintage-inspired bride.
