The diamond solitaire is the most popular diamond engagement ring in the world. It has been around since the 1950s, but it wasn’t until recently that people started to take it seriously. This style of diamond engagement ring is about as simple as it gets: a single stone set in a band or halo setting. The stones are usually 2–5 mm in diameter and range from VS1 to SI2 with around 0.50 carats total weight depending on their cut grade and clarity rating. This post discusses how you can choose your ideal diamond solitaire engagement ring based on its cut quality, colour and clarity characteristics.

Cut
The cut of a diamond refers to its shape. The most important thing you should look for when buying an engagement ring is that it has a good cut, which means it has excellent polish and symmetry in both directions (the angle of each facet). A well-cut diamond will enhance its brilliance and fire while maintaining the clarity that makes diamonds valuable.
A poorly cut diamond will not be as reflective, resulting in less sparkle or fire than one with good symmetry.
Colour
Diamonds are graded on a colour scale from D to Z. The most common colours are F (yellowish), H (greenish) and I (blue). Colourless diamonds can be expensive because they’re rare and must be specially treated to produce them. If you want a diamond without any colour, look for G-grade clarity.
Clarity
Clarity is the degree to which a diamond’s internal and external flaws are visible. The most common clarity grades are SI and I, with SI being the highest quality and I being the lowest.
To determine whether a diamond has good or bad clarity, you’ll need to send it through an expert eye specialising in this area—either at a jeweller or in labs. Your local jeweller can also help you find out what level of clarity your engagement ring has by looking at its table diamonds.
Ask your local jeweller if there are any additional tests they recommend running before delivery on new purchase items like jewellery pieces so that customers know exactly what kind of results they might expect when dealing with those particular products.
Carat Weight
Carat weight is the most crucial factor in determining the price of a diamond. One carat equals 200 milligrams, so while 1/2 carat would be half that amount, it would only weigh 90 milligrams.
Know the Basics of a diamond solitaire engagement ring
The first thing to know is that the diamond engagement ring is a unique piece of jewellery, so think about what kind of look you’re going for. If you have a traditional taste and want something classic, go for an emerald-cut centre diamond in a platinum setting. If your style leans towards modern and trendy, consider picking up one of your stunning rose gold bands or platinum bands with diamonds set around the band’s circumference. There are so many options out there!
In conclusion, the best way to buy a diamond solitaire engagement ring is to research and choose a clear, untarnished stone with flawless clarity and colour. The next step would be finding out what carat weight (also known as “weight”) you want in a stunning setting that matches your style perfectly.
