About the Solitaire Setting

The solitaire is the most enduring engagement-ring silhouette — a single center diamond held by 4 or 6 prongs on a clean band, with no side stones to compete for attention. The classic six-prong 'Tiffany Setting' was introduced in 1886 and remains the reference design for solitaires today. A solitaire puts 100% of the visual focus on the center stone's cut, color, and clarity, which makes diamond quality particularly important. Solitaires pair cleanly with any wedding band style and are the most resizing-friendly setting category.
