What is a solitaire ring, what type to choose?

What is a solitaire ring? In its purest form, the solitaire engagement ring is set with a single diamond (solitaire means solitary or lonely in French). However, it can be a small diamond, generally less than 0.50 carats or a large 2 carats diamond. Or even more! Depending on the size of the diamond, the setting may have 4, 5 or 6 prongs. Traditionally, the solitaire has always been a women's engagement ring. But nowadays there are solitaires for men. A vintage white gold solitaire ring shows off the diamond perfectly, as well as the platinum. But you can find many stunning pre-owned solitaire rings in yellow gold and rose gold.

Among our second-hand solitaire diamond rings, you will marvel at modern and vintage designs, small and large diamonds, as well as different stone sizes: round, cushion, brilliant cut... For some models, the finger size is adjustable. The diamond solitaire ring as we know it, and as an engagement ring, appeared at the very beginning of the Renaissance. There are other types of engagement rings, but it remains a classic among classics!

Choosing a pre-owned solitaire ring in silver, gold or platinum

Cartier rings, Mauboussin, Chaumet and all the other major jewelry houses create solitaire jewelry in white gold most often, and in platinum. A solitaire diamond can be set in an 18k yellow gold or rose gold ring. A solitaire silver ring is a cheaper alternative, which will feature not a diamond, but a zirconium oxide stone. For an inexpensive solitaire ring, you also have the option of used rings, as well as 375/1000 or 9 carat gold and 585/1000 or 14 carat gold, which is not gold massive. It can be white, yellow or pink.

A sapphire, emerald or ruby solitaire ring: to stand from the crowds

Our jewelry store offers you second-hand white gold and diamond solitaire ring models, rose gold and diamond, yellow gold and diamond, but not only that. The meaning of a solitaire ring may vary with other stones. There is the solitaire ring in sapphire, emerald or ruby. Whether you are looking for an old ring with a diamond solitaire, a square solitaire ring or an original design like the diamond ring or a solitaire surrounded by small stones, browse our luxury pre-owned rings at low prices!

How much does a solitaire ring cost? Pre-owned or vintage?

Prices for a used gold solitaire diamond ring start around $1,000, although many diamond solitaire engagement rings cost more like $2,000 to $3,000 (1 carat diamond or less), as do sapphire solitaire rings. For the price of a solitaire ring with a large diamond, you should budget at least around $5,000 in Paris.

The price increases with the quality of the diamond and the number of carats. Women's rings with diamond or sapphire solitaires can cost more than $30,000. For example, at this price you can find solitaire engagement rings with 2 carat diamonds, color G (extra white) and clarity VVS2 (with tiny inclusions invisible to the naked eye). Second-hand, very beautiful white gold and 1-carat diamond solitaires can cost less than $8,000. The price range is really wide, as they approach $100,000 with large diamonds of 5 or 6 carats.
