Tip: a tailor-made solitaire ring

Read summary

Looking to create the perfect solitaire engagement ring that reflects her unique style?

A solitaire diamond ring remains the most sought-after engagement ring choice, cherished for its timeless elegance. While many envision the classic round brilliant in white gold, this traditional design offers surprising versatility. From the sparkle of a brilliant-cut to the sophistication of a marquise or princess cut, each diamond shape conveys a distinct personality. The choice of metal also plays a crucial role - while white gold and platinum are popular, rose gold can create a stunning vintage appeal perfect for fashion-forward brides.

When selecting your ring, prioritize diamond quality over size. A smaller, high-quality stone that catches light brilliantly will make a stronger statement than a larger diamond with visible imperfections. BAUNAT offers both an extensive collection of pre-designed solitaires and custom design services to help create the perfect ring that matches your partner's unique style and preferences.

A classic among the classics, the diamond solitaire ring is still the most popular engagement ring. And we can only encourage that. This diamond ring is beautiful in its simplicity, but only few people know that there are a lot more possibilities with its design. You do not just need to choose between the classic brilliant set in white gold or platinum. No, there are enough alternatives. Step by step we gladly assist you in the search to the perfect solitaire engagement ring. A customized ring, designed to her style and taste.

Which diamond shape?

With a solitaire ring, many people think of a beautiful round brilliant, but in principle all diamond shapes are good-looking in this setting. The light is most beautifully reflected with a brilliant, but someone who really wants to impress, chooses for an elegant marquise or a gorgeous princess cut diamond. When choosing a particular diamond shape you better let her personality guide you. Each shape stands for a specific character, and she will definitely appreciate a more personal touch.

Choose the exact look: customization options

Setting style variations for solitaires

- Classic 4-prong or 6-prong: timeless and open, allowing the diamond to catch maximum light. Tip: 6-prong gives extra security for elongated shapes.

- Knife-edge or cathedral-style shoulders: add elegance and visual lift to the centre stone. Tip: cathedral shoulders create a refined profile that suits vintage-inspired designs.

- Subtle hidden bezel edge or low-profile bezel-adjacent options: cleaner lines and added protection for daily wear. Tip: a hidden bezel gives a modern, secure look while keeping sparkle high.

Metal and finish

- We work with 18Kt and higher gold alloys and platinum to match your aesthetic and longevity needs. Tip: a polished finish maximises brilliance, while a satin or brushed finish gives a softer, contemporary feel.

Personal touches

- Engraving: choose a short message or date on the inside of the band for a discreet personalisation. Tip: keep engravings concise so they remain elegant over time.

- Hidden halo or tiny accent stones: add a private flourish beneath the centre setting for an unexpected detail. Tip: accents add character without dominating the solitaire’s simplicity.

Each choice affects the balance, comfort and appearance of the ring. During the design conversation we illustrate these options so you can decide which combination best expresses the wearer’s style.

The size of the diamond

The diamond size is defined by your budget. We cannot repeat it enough; you better search for a diamond of high quality, even if it turns out to be smaller than you had anticipated. A diamond ring that sparkles beautifully stands out more than a big diamond that has a yellow hue or some visible inclusions.

Which precious metal?

Most people think of a solitaire ring that is set in white gold or platinum, or -for the classic types among you- a design set in yellow gold. Few choose red gold. However, this warm precious metal Is very beautiful in combination with a solitaire diamond. If the ring has a more vintage look, then make it a true eye-catcher. Ideal for fashionable women with an extravagant style.
