Why Solitaire Rings Are the Most Loved Choice

Beyond beauty, solitaires are incredibly versatile. They pair well with almost any wedding band, making it easy to customize your bridal set over time. From delicate gold bands to elaborate vintage-inspired designs, a solitaire complements them all. This flexibility is one reason buyers continue to choose solitaires across generations.

At ACC Jewelers, clients often tell us they appreciate the timeless appeal—something they can wear every day that still feels special. Whether you’re into minimalist elegance or bold center stones, a solitaire always delivers.

The Many Types of Solitaire Rings You Can Choose From

Today, solitaire rings go far beyond the classic prong setting. Modern jewelers have reimagined solitaires into countless unique forms—each style highlighting the center stone in its own distinct way. Below are some of the most loved types available at ACC Jewelers.

1. Classic Solitaire Engagement Rings

This is the style most people imagine when they hear “solitaire.” A single diamond mounted on a simple band. No side stones, no complex detailing—just pure, clean beauty. It’s perfect for anyone who values elegance and tradition.

Even within this simple category, you can explore many variations in band thickness, diamond shape, and metal type.

2. Double Claw-Prong Solitaire Rings

This design adds an extra touch of security and detail by using two prongs on each corner instead of the typical single prong. The result? A ring that looks slightly more vintage, more refined, and more unique—yet still beautifully minimalist.

Double claw-prong solitaires are ideal for elongated cuts like oval, emerald, or pear shapes.

3. Sculptural Solitaire Rings

These rings turn the band itself into a piece of art. Sculptural designs twist, swirl, or taper around the stone to create a modern and expressive look. They’re perfect for someone who wants something classic at its core but artistic in its expression.

Each sculptural ring feels like a tiny piece of architecture on your finger.

4. Ring Mounting Designs

Ring mountings in solitaire styles are designed to showcase your center stone in the most flattering way. Whether you prefer a high mount that stands out or a low-profile mounting for comfort, the solitaire category gives you endless ways to highlight your diamond.

Mounting variations allow you to truly personalize your ring.

5. Bezel-Set Solitaire Rings

If you want security and modern style, the bezel setting is the perfect choice. Instead of prongs, a thin metal rim surrounds the stone, holding it firmly in place while giving it a sleek, contemporary look.

This design is perfect for women with active lifestyles or those who prefer something smooth and modern.

6. Crown-Inspired Solitaire Rings

These rings draw inspiration from royal crown details—delicate curves, pointed tips, and regal accents. They maintain the simplicity of a solitaire while adding a soft touch of fairytale elegance.

Crown-inspired solitaires are ideal for someone who loves romantic and enchanted themes.

7. Asymmetrical Solitaire Engagement Rings

Not everyone wants perfect symmetry. Asymmetrical rings use creative curves, uneven accents, or one-sided details to create a dynamic, modern look.

These rings are perfect for bold personalities who want a ring that stands out from the rest.

8. Floral Solitaire Engagement Rings

Floral solitaires take inspiration from nature with petal shapes, leaf motifs, or bloom-like arrangements around the center stone. These rings feel delicate, romantic, and full of meaning.

They’re perfect for someone who loves nature or whimsical, feminine designs.

9. Half-Bezel Solitaire Rings

Half-bezel designs offer the best of both worlds—security and maximum light exposure. The stone is held on two sides by a partial metal frame, allowing more brilliance while keeping it firmly in place.

These rings look modern, clean, and slightly futuristic.

Browse half-bezel designs within our growing range of Solitaire Rings.

10. Engraved Solitaire Engagement Rings

Engraved solitaire rings add personality and sentiment to the band. These can include vintage patterns, geometric lines, or meaningful custom engravings.

This makes the ring meaningful not only because of the stone, but because of the story carved into it.

11. Solstice Solitaire Rings

Solstice-inspired solitaires reflect balance, harmony, and the movement of light. These designs often include graceful curves or settings inspired by the sun’s path.

It’s a poetic choice for someone who wants symbolism in their ring.

How to Choose the Perfect Solitaire Ring

Choosing a solitaire ring isn’t just about style—it’s about how the ring fits your story, your personality, and your lifestyle. Here are some tips that can guide you:

1. Consider Your Daily Lifestyle

If you use your hands a lot, a bezel or low-mount solitaire might be more comfortable. If you love sparkle, you might prefer a high prong setting that shows off the diamond from every angle.

2. Think About the Band

Thin bands make the diamond look bigger, while thicker bands feel more durable. Rose gold adds romance, yellow gold offers a classic feel, and white gold or platinum gives a modern shine.

3. Choose a Diamond Shape That Feels Like “You”

Round is classic, oval is elegant, pear is bold, emerald is sophisticated—each shape tells a different story.

4. Don’t Forget About Customization

Many people choose a solitaire so they can upgrade, add engravings, or pair it with unique wedding bands later.

A solitaire gift often becomes a piece that stays in the family—something passed on to the next generation.
