Solitaire diamond engagement rings

When you think of solitaire diamond engagement rings - think simple. These modest designs epitomise elegance with a “less is more” style that promises to sit effortlessly alongside other pieces of jewellery. Solitaire diamond engagement rings are all about the quality of the one single diamond showcased at the centre of the design. Other smaller diamonds can sometimes feature along the shoulders for an added touch of panache, yet the shape of the central diamond stone can vary from pear-cut, oval-cut, round brilliant-cut and princess-cut to name just a few examples. This style of diamond engagement ring is one of the most popular of all. Designs crafted from platinum, yellow gold, rose gold and white gold all feature within our collections.

The Allure of Pear-Shaped Diamond Engagement Rings

The pear-shaped diamond, often referred to as the "teardrop" shape, is a captivating combination of the round brilliant and marquise cuts. Its rounded end tapers to a graceful point, creating a silhouette reminiscent of a sparkling teardrop or a radiant flame. This unique shape offers versatility, allowing the wearer to choose between wearing the point towards or away from the hand, each conveying a different aesthetic.

One of the standout features of pear-shaped diamond engagement rings is their elegant and elongating appearance. The pear shape creates the illusion of longer, more slender fingers, making it a flattering choice for any hand shape. Its versatility in design allows for various settings, from classic solitaires to intricate halos or vintage-inspired designs. Whether you prefer a modern, minimalist look or a vintage, romantic vibe, the pear shape effortlessly adapts to your personal style.
