Solitaire diamond rings are a timeless and versatile choice for engagement rings, particularly when made with a round brilliant cut diamond. They’re perfect for those who ordinarily wear a lot of jewellery, as well as those looking for a versatile design to pair with bold jewellery they wear day to day.
However, not all solitaire engagement rings are alike. Let’s take a look at 4 different solitaire designs with a round brilliant cut diamond.
1. A classic six claw setting
Classic designs stick around for a long time for good reason, and when it comes to solitaire engagement rings, the classic six claw setting will be around forever. Six claw settings work beautifully with a round brilliant cut shape, and allow for so much versatility when it comes to choosing a wedding ring (and eternity ring, if you wish) to wear alongside it.

2. A four claw setting
The four claw setting is just as versatile as a six claw setting, with a modern twist. It’s an excellent choice of engagement ring for wearers who take a minimalist approach to jewellery, and it makes the diamond the star of the piece.

3. A bezel setting
While claw settings are common in engagement rings, they’re not the only option for setting styles. Bezel settings offer a sleek, modern appeal and look amazing with round brilliant cut diamonds. They’re perfectly suited to wearers who need a secure, safe style to wear to work or day to day life, and are a popular choice among healthcare workers and mums with active young children.

4. A half bezel setting
For those wanting just one single diamond in their engagement ring, but also a design out of the ordinary, a wrap around half bezel setting is an excellent choice. With a band that hugs the feature diamond, a wrap around setting is both elegant and bold in design. A matching fitted diamond wedding ring to wear alongside it creates a beautiful statement look.

These four solitaire engagement rings are just the beginning when it comes to creating a timeless yet personal design. Subtle changes to setting styles, band types, claw shapes can change the whole look of an engagement ring, while maintaining a versatile appeal.
