A solitaire diamond

A solitaire diamond is a type of jewelry with one central diamond, usually referred to as a solitaire.

It’s a very popular choice for engagement rings and the advantage of solitaire diamonds is that the diamond, especially a larger one, stands out beautifully in the jewelry and shines in all its glory. This type of jewelry is most often associated with a round cut, ie. brilliant cut diamond, however other fancy shapes such as oval, pear, emerald, princess etc. are also very popular.
