Solitaire Engagement Rings FAQ

What should I know before buying a solitaire engagement ring?

Solitaire engagement rings feature a center diamond as the focal point and have no accent stones. There are several cut shapes you can choose from, such as round cut, princess cut, emerald, marquise, baguette, and ovals. 

There are also many classic and modern variations of the solitaire engagement ring, such as the Classic Truth Solitaire, the Classic Style Solitaire, the Melissa Solitaire, and the Grace Solitaire. Each style offers slight differences that make your solitaire engagement ring special to your love story.

Can a solitaire ring be an engagement ring?

A solitaire ring is great for any special occasion – especially  engagements! You can also gift it as an anniversary ring, a wedding ring, or any special occasion to symbolize your love and commitment to your partner.

What metal should I choose for a solitaire diamond ring?

Whether you’re looking for an 18k white gold or platinum for your engagement ring, 14k or 18k yellow gold engagement ring, or a rose gold ring, we have options for you. The difference between 14k and 18k white gold engagement rings is that 18k rings have more gold content. Choose the ring that best suits your bride’s style and preference. 

A white gold or platinum solitaire setting can complement the whiteness in a precisely cut stone like our Brian Gavin Signature Hearts and Arrows round brilliant diamonds, or one of our distinctive Signature oval  cut diamonds. Some individuals prefer yellow gold for the contrast it offers to a well-cut diamond or other gemstone.

How many carats should a solitaire engagement ring be?

It all depends on whether you’re a fan of big or small diamonds. Refer to the diamond carat weight size chart for reference on how a diamond looks on your finger.

Ideally, a diamond solitaire ring would conform to the size of the wearer’s hand. A narrower band takes on a delicate and graceful look, while a larger carat weight can appear more brilliant. It depends on the engagement ring style you want and the size of the band to determine which size diamond looks best.

How to choose the right shape for a solitaire setting

Your solitaire setting can be the perfect stage to spotlight the stone it holds. For a fancy or unique shaped diamond, like the oval, marquise, or heart, the solitaire setting can focus on the unique qualities of the stone and make it stand out. 

For optimum performance and brilliance, the classic Brian Gavin Signature Hearts and Arrows round brilliant, cushion, or quadex cuts will catch the eye in the widest variety of lighting conditions. It’s also important to look at the cut performance of the diamond, which considers the polish, symmetry, and proportions of the center diamond.

Choosing a bezel diamond

Some brides prefer a bezel set solitaire, which is a gorgeous and practical ring for brides who don’t enjoy the bulkiness of a diamond or perform activities where a diamond might get in the way. Brian Gavin Signature Diamonds offer full bezel set solitaire and half bezel set solitaire to give your bride the ring she deserves without compromising her routine and activities.

What are the 4 Cs + 1 of diamonds?

We actually believe in 4Cs + 1 – referring to a diamond’s Clarity, Color, Carat weight, and 2 types of Cut – here, cut refers to cut shape and cut performance. All diamonds have high standards in each of these criterias and are also graded rigorously by the GIA's diamond grading system. 

These standards help you assess each diamond and ensure you know the diamond cut quality you’re buying to create the ring that you truly want for your bride.
