Solitaire Mountings are Gaining Popularity

A solitaire engagement ring is a classic and timeless style of engagement ring characterized by a single, prominent center stone. The term "solitaire" refers to the fact that this type of ring features just one main gemstone, usually a diamond, though other precious gemstones may be used as well. The center stone is typically mounted on a plain metal band, which serves to showcase the beauty and brilliance of the solitary gem.

Yellow gold solitaire mountings have been gaining popularity. Especially when mixed with fancy shape center diamodns such as oval, radiant or marquise. Typically a yellow gold shank is combined with a platinum center setting to create a durable and long-lasting solitaire ring.
