Solitaire Engagement Rings
Solitaire engagement rings put everything into one stone, which is why this style has outlasted every other engagement ring design. With nothing beside it, the cut and the clarity do all the work, and the setting exists only to hold the diamond high enough to catch light from underneath. Our selection of solitaire engagement rings in Ireland are set with lab grown diamonds in 18ct yellow and white gold or platinum, in round brilliant and oval cuts, with carat weights from around one carat up to six and colour and clarity grades listed on each ring. Some use a hidden halo under the main stone, which adds brightness without changing the outline. As lab-grown stones cost a fraction of mined equivalents, the same budget buys noticeably more size. The wider choice sits in our engagement rings; browse the full range below.

Solitaire Engagement Rings FAQs
It’s a ring set with one diamond and no side stones. The claws or bezel hold the stone clear of the band so light can enter from all sides, which is what gives a solitaire its brightness.
Yes. They have the same carbon structure, hardness and appearance as mined diamonds and are graded on the same carat, colour, clarity and cut scale. The difference is how they were formed, and the price.
Most people buy between one and two carats, though larger stones are available. Setting height and finger size change how big a stone looks, so a smaller diamond on a slim band can read larger than the number suggests.
A high set solitaire often leaves a gap, which is solved either with a shaped wedding ring that curves around the setting or by choosing a lower profile. It’s worth trying both together before deciding.
