Solitaire Engagement Rings
3 pieces · made to order
The solitaire is engagement-ring shorthand for confidence: one stone, held high, nothing to distract from it. Our solitaires are engineered so the band disappears on the hand and the certified center diamond you choose takes every bit of the light.
About solitaire engagement rings
The solitaire engagement ring is confidence in its purest form: one certified diamond, held high, with nothing competing for the light. It's the style that has opened more proposals than any other — and the one that never looks dated in photographs decades on.
Aurelle solitaires are engineered so the band recedes and the stone commands: slim tapered shanks, precise prong work, in 14k and 18k gold and platinum. Pair any setting with a certified natural or lab-grown diamond and we craft it to order in two to three weeks.
Choosing a solitaire is really choosing a diamond — put the budget into the best-cut stone you can, because the setting will hide nothing.
Solitaire Engagement Rings FAQ
Why choose a solitaire engagement ring?+
It puts every dollar and every glance on the diamond — no accent stones diluting the budget or the effect. Solitaires also pair with any wedding band and never fall out of style, which matters for a ring worn fifty years.
How much should a solitaire engagement ring cost?+
The setting itself is typically the most affordable part — often a few hundred to a couple thousand dollars — so the diamond drives the total. Solitaires commonly range from around two thousand to well beyond, depending on the stone; lab-grown centers dramatically lower the entry point.
How many prongs should a solitaire have — four or six?+
Four prongs show more diamond and read more modern; six are more secure and frame rounds in a classic Tiffany-style crown. For stones above 1.5 carats or active lifestyles, six prongs earn their keep.
What diamond shape looks best in a solitaire?+
Every shape works — that's the solitaire's versatility — but rounds and ovals are the perennial favorites. Elongated shapes like oval, pear, and marquise gain the most from a solitaire's clean stage.
Lab-grown or natural diamond for a solitaire?+
Because the solitaire showcases a single stone, the lab-grown value case is at its strongest: the same certified crystal at a fraction of the price often means going up a full carat. Natural remains the choice for rarity and tradition — both carry GIA, IGI, or GCAL reports.
Will a wedding band sit flush against a solitaire?+
Most Aurelle solitaires are designed with enough basket height for a straight band to sit flush; low-set styles pair with slim or curved bands. Ask the concierge to match a band to your exact setting.
