Diamond solitaire rings are a traditional and timeless classic. Many diamond engagement rings feature a single diamond, or solitaire, in a prong setting.

Diamond solitaire rings are designed to elevate the diamond off the ring, thus making it appear larger and allowing more light to enter the diamond.

The diamond is fitted into a metal basket and secured with 3 to 6 prongs. There special prong styles such as Belcher, Fishtail, and Tiffany. Extra prongs add security for the diamond and can make the diamond look slightly larger.
