Taking its name from the French for 'alone', a solitaire ring carries one main diamond. Possibly the most popular style of engagement ring, this design boasts elegance in its simplicity. The stone is usually set high, which allows the diamond maximum exposure to light, enhancing its brilliance. It is perhaps best suited to a woman who prefers classic style.

This design sports a trio of gemstones. The center stone is normally set higher than the complementary side stones to highlight the (usually) larger stone and add depth to the ring. The side stones are often of a different shape than the center stone to add variety and a contrasting sparkle.
