Frequently Asked Questions

Are solitaire engagement rings still popular?

Solitaires remain the single most requested engagement ring style we sell, and they have quietly gained ground as halos have become more subtle. The reason is durability of taste: a solitaire cannot really date, because there is nothing on it to go out of fashion. What has changed is the detail. Slimmer bands around 1.6 to 1.8 millimeters are in demand because they make the center stone read larger, hidden halos are being tucked underneath, and yellow gold has come back strongly. If you are worried about choosing something your partner will still love in twenty years, this is the safest collection in the store.

What does a solitaire engagement ring symbolize?

One stone, one person, one commitment. The symbolism is unusually direct, which is exactly why it has lasted: nothing competes with the center diamond, so the ring says one thing clearly. Some couples also like that a solitaire puts the focus on the stone they chose together rather than on the decoration around it. There is no need to explain a solitaire to anyone, and no risk of the meaning getting muddled. If you want a ring that reads as classic restraint rather than as a statement about style, this is it.

How much do solitaire engagement rings cost?

Solitaire settings here start around $875 and mostly run between about $1,500 and $3,680, with the middle sitting near $2,485. Those are setting prices, without the center stone, and solitaires are the most affordable settings we sell for the obvious reason that there are no accent diamonds to set. That is the strategic advantage of the style. Spending less on the setting puts more of your budget into the center stone, where cut quality actually determines how the ring looks. A well cut diamond in a simple solitaire will outshine a poorly cut one in an elaborate setting, every time. Our ring builder prices both halves together.

Are solitaire engagement rings durable for everyday wear?

They are the most robust style we sell. Fewer stones means fewer things to loosen, and a plain band has no pave to maintain. The only real variable is the height of the head. A tall, classic six prong setting lifts the diamond up where it may catch on sweaters and doorframes, while a lower profile or bezel setting tucks it down and is genuinely worry free for people who work with their hands. Prongs still deserve an annual look under magnification, since a solitaire has nothing else holding the stone if one gives way. Beyond that, a solitaire asks very little of you.

Can a solitaire engagement ring be resized?

Yes, and more readily than almost any other style, since the band is plain metal with nothing set into it. Our jewelers can typically move a solitaire a couple of sizes in either direction and leave no visible trace. That makes it the right choice if you are proposing and guessing at the size. If the band has pave running partway down the shoulders, the plain section at the bottom still gives us room to work. Sizing is done in house in Williamsville, NY rather than shipped out, which means faster turnaround and a jeweler you can actually talk to about it.

How do you clean a solitaire engagement ring?

A solitaire is the easiest ring in the world to clean, and also the one where cleaning matters most, because there is nothing else on the ring to distract from a dull stone. Soak twenty minutes in warm water with a few drops of mild dish soap, then brush the underside of the diamond with a soft toothbrush. Almost all of the haze is lotion and soap collected beneath the stone where light enters. Rinse with the drain closed and dry with a lint-free cloth. Skip bleach, chlorine, and acetone. Twice a year we will run it through the ultrasonic and check the prongs while it is on the bench.

Can you customize a solitaire engagement ring?

Yes, and small changes have outsized effects on a design this simple. Band width is the big one, since a slimmer band makes the center stone appear noticeably larger. Beyond that: prong count, a knife edge or comfort fit profile, milgrain along the edges, a hidden halo underneath, or a cathedral shoulder that lifts the stone. Metal is your choice in fourteen, ten and eighteen karat white, yellow, and rose gold, or platinum. Most of these are made to order. And an engraving inside the band remains the least expensive way to make a solitaire specifically yours.

Is a solitaire engagement ring too plain or boring?

Some people find it plain, and that is a legitimate preference rather than a mistake. But it is worth separating plain from unfinished. A solitaire puts all the pressure on two things, the quality of the center stone and the proportions of the band, so a well executed one is anything but boring while a cheap one has nowhere to hide. If you want more without abandoning the style, a slim band, a hidden halo, or an engraved gallery under the stone adds interest that only shows up close. Come look at a good solitaire next to a busy setting in the showroom. Plenty of people change their minds.
