Solitaires
The single stone.
Solitaire rings, IGI-certified, for the ones who like their meaning simple.
The solitaire is the oldest shorthand in fine jewellery, one stone, one setting, one decision. Nivara’s solitaire rings are built around IGI-certified lab-grown diamonds in round, oval, emerald, cushion, and more, set in 14K or 18K hallmarked gold, made to order in three weeks. Every piece carries our lifetime returns, exchanges, and free annual cleaning. A solitaire doesn’t decorate. It announces. Browse the collection for the one that speaks clearly on your hand.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a solitaire?
A single diamond set on its own, with nothing competing for attention. It is the purest presentation of a stone and the one that depends most completely on the quality of that stone, because there is no pave or halo to distract the eye. This edit of 32 pieces covers solitaires across forms, with 18 rings, 8 pendants and 5 pairs of earrings.
If there is only one diamond, what should I be looking at?
Cut, above everything. On a solitaire, cut quality is the entire performance of the piece. Every Nivara diamond is ideal cut, hearts and arrows precise, VVS clarity and E colour, cleared through 27 quality checks. Each ships with a light performance report grading brightness, fire and contrast, which on a solitaire is the most useful document you will receive.
What does a solitaire cost at Nivara?
The diamond is ₹50,000 per carat for VVS clarity and E colour, the same rate for every buyer with no negotiation. The setting and metal are additional and depend on the design. Pieces in this edit run from about ₹36,000 to about ₹2,40,000, and because a solitaire setting is simple, more of what you pay goes into the diamond itself than in any other style.
Which setting holds a solitaire most securely?
A bezel, where a rim of metal wraps the girdle of the stone completely, is the most protective and the least likely to catch. The Amora round solitaire bezel set pendant in this edit uses it. Prong settings, four or six, let in more light from the sides and make the stone look larger, at the cost of a slightly more exposed profile. Six prongs are more secure than four.
Can I buy a matching solitaire ring, pendant and earrings?
Yes, and this collection is arranged to make that straightforward, since it holds all three forms in the same design language, including the Amora asscher solitaire pendant, the Amora oval and marquise rings and matching studs. All are made to order in about three weeks in 14K or 18K BIS hallmarked gold, so the metal colour and karat can be matched across the set.
Can I upgrade the centre stone later?
Yes, through the lifetime exchange, which is the reason many people start with a solitaire. You receive 100% of the current gold value and 100% of the current diamond value against the new piece, with making charges and taxes waived within 15 days of purchase and deducted after. The lifetime buyback returns 100% of current gold and 85% of current diamond value, with making charges and taxes always deducted.
