What is Solitaire Diamond?

It’s like the black dress of Diamonds: very strong, brilliant, and always in style. Whether it is in the form of a ring, necklace or earrings - a solitaire never fails.

How to Choose the Perfect Solitaire Diamond?
Want to Shop for a Solitaire diamond? Here’s your 5-step guide (because you deserve perfection!).
1. Know Your 4 Cs
Now let’s say it together: Cut, Clarity, Colour, Carat. These are the essentials, you cannot go wrong with them:
-
Cut: A well-cut diamond sparkles like it’s throwing a party for your eyes. Look for “Excellent” or “Very Good” cuts.
-
Clarity: No one likes imperfections, especially on diamonds. Go for VS1 or higher for that flawless look.
- Colour: The closer to colourless (D-F grade), the more radiant the diamond.
-
Carat: Bigger isn’t always better. Pick a size that suits your style and budget.
2. Choose the Right Shape
The shape of your diamond sets the vibe.
- Round brilliant for classic sparkle.
- Oval or pear for modern glam.
- Princess cut for bold elegance.
(Pro tip: If you’re gifting, pay attention to what they already wear—it’s like a cheat sheet!)
3. Frame It in the Right Setting
The setting is the frame for your masterpiece. Classic prongs? Sleek bezel? You decide. Just make sure it lets the diamond shine and suits your lifestyle. After all, you don’t want your ring to catch on your clothes every time you move.
4. Certification Is Key
Think of certification as your diamond's resume. Always ask for one from GIA or IGI to help ensure you're getting the real deal.
These certificates also protect you as a buyer, ensuring transparency and making it easier to insure your jewellery in the future.
5. Mind Lab-Grown for More Sparkle (and Savings!)
If you’re looking for diamonds that are big on sparkle and light on environmental impact, lab-grown solitaire diamonds are your perfect match. Chemically, physically, and optically identical to mined diamonds, lab-grown diamonds offer the same brilliance and quality at a fraction of the cost.
By choosing lab-grown solitaires, you’re not just making an ethical choice—you’re making a smart one. Here’s why:
