Frequently Asked Questions
What makes a solitaire ring different from other diamond rings?
A solitaire ring features a single centre diamond with no accent or side stones. All visual attention lands on that one diamond. This makes cut quality the most important factor, an Excellently-cut solitaire outshines a larger diamond with a Good cut in almost all lighting conditions.
Which diamond shape is most popular for solitaire rings in India?
Round brilliant remains the most purchased shape in India, followed closely by oval. The oval has grown significantly in popularity since 2022 because it appears larger per carat than a round and elongates the finger. Cushion cut is the third most popular, particularly among buyers who prefer a softer, vintage aesthetic.
What is the minimum carat weight I should consider for a solitaire ring?
For a ring intended as an engagement or statement piece, we recommend a minimum of 0.50 carats. At this weight, the diamond is clearly visible and makes a real presence. For a delicate everyday solitaire, 0.25 to 0.40ct works beautifully and keeps the ring lightweight for daily wear.
Is a four-prong or six-prong setting better for a solitaire?
Four-prong settings expose more of the diamond to light, resulting in maximum brilliance. They also give a modern, architectural look. Six-prong settings offer slightly greater security and suit rounder diamonds especially well. Both are excellent. The choice is aesthetic and personal. Our consultants show you both in person at our showrooms.
