Pear cut solitaire engagement rings in yellow gold

A Solitaire engagement ring is any engagement ring setting that highlights one single diamond. The word solitaire comes from the French word for single or alone, and differentiates this setting from a Three Stone engagement ring with three diamonds instead of one. 

Nearly every style of VRAI wedding bands can pair with Solitaire engagement rings. For Signature Solitaires, Signature 6-Prongs, Halos, Hidden Halos, Classic Two-Tones, and Signature Bezel engagement rings, almost all wedding bands will match. For those who have chosen a Knife-Edge Solitaire, a Curator, or a Signature V engagement ring, there are matching wedding rings that perfectly mirror each style. Learn more on how to [pair your wedding band with a solitaire ring](/journal/post/pair-your-solitaire-engagement-ring-and-wedding-band).

A classic Solitaire engagement ring is one of the three more traditional VRAI solitaire settings. It features a single platinum or solid gold band (that can be pavé or plain) and four prongs that hold a single diamond in place. The prongs differentiate this setting from the Signature 6 Prong and the Signature Solitaire setting.
