Why Our Solitaire Ring Stands Out
A Stronger, More Comfortable Shank
- Most solitaire rings use thin, rounded shanks that can feel delicate. Our design features a thicker, soft square shank, giving the ring a sturdier presence while remaining comfortable for everyday wear. The squared edges rest more naturally on the finger, making it a joy to wear. Our solitaire ring features a 2.25MM wide shank with a thickness of 2MM.
A Perfect Fit with Wedding Bands
- We know that your engagement ring should seamlessly pair with your wedding band. That’s why our solitaire ring design allows a band to sit flush against it, creating a cohesive and elegant bridal set. No gaps and no curved band required, just a smooth, perfect match. Whether you want a dazzling diamond band or a classic gold style, this ring will work with you for the perfect stack.
Added Security with a Gallery Rail
- Losing a diamond is every bride-to-be’s nightmare. To help prevent that, we designed the head of our solitaire ring with a gallery rail, which reinforces the prongs and makes them less likely to bend backward. This means your diamond stays secure and you gain peace of mind.
Eye-Clean Diamonds with Optimal Proportions
- A solitaire ring setting showcases the diamond front and center, which is why we only select eye-clean diamonds and lab-grown diamonds with specific proportions. This ensures your stone delivers maximum brilliance and fire, without distracting inclusions or bowties.
Sleek Design with Subtle Details
- It’s often the little things that make the biggest impact. The pinch at the bottom of the head gives our specialty solitaire ring a sleek, modern profile, adding a designer touch without sacrificing timeless appeal.
What makes this solitaire ring different?
Every detail of this solitaire ring is designed with you in mind. From aesthetic to functionality, this solitaire is crafted with precision and care. Here are some of the highlights:
- Thickness (thick enough to last)
- Height (so a band can sit flush, but it won't catch on everything)
- Prongs (just the right thickness for strength without looking bulky)
- Security (with a gallery rail to keep the prongs in place)
- Sparkle (we use stones with excellent cut and high color and clarity characteristics)
- The look (the pinch at the bottom of the head adds a sleek detail)

Frequently Asked Questions
What qualifies as a solitaire ring?
A solitaire ring features a single center stone, usually a diamond, without additional side stones or embellishments. This design puts all the focus on the diamond and emphasizes its brilliance and beauty.
Is a solitaire ring durable enough for everyday wear?
Yes, especially our design, which features a thicker shank and a protective gallery rail. These details make this solitaire ring more durable and resistant to daily wear compared to standard solitaires.
Can I pair a solitaire ring with any wedding band?
You can pair our ideal solitaire ring with any wedding band! Keep in mind that some other solitaire rings have lower prongs which require a curved wedding band to avoid a gap. Our solitaire is design specifically with this detail in mind!
What kind of diamond should I choose for a solitaire ring?
Since the diamond is the focal point of a solitaire, we recommend choosing an eye-clean stone with excellent proportions for maximum sparkle. Both natural and lab-grown diamonds can be excellent choices, and we're happy to help you find the perfect stone to fit your style and budget!
How do I care for my solitaire engagement ring?
Regular cleaning with a soft brush and mild soap will keep your diamond sparkling. We also recommend having the ring checked by a jeweler once a year to ensure the prongs remain secure and the shank is in good condition.
Bring your ring by our store any time for a free cleaning!
