Solitaire
The solitaire ring design is a timeless, elegant setting. As the name suggests, the centre of the ring holds a single diamond (or coloured gemstone) for a refined air of simplicity. The prongs position the central stone so that it shimmers in the light and catches your eye.
A design with four prongs gives the stone an angular shape for a contemporary feel, while a setting with six prongs gives the diamond a rounder, more classic shape.
At BAUNAT, you can choose from our stunning solitaire engagement rings in yellow, white and red gold or platinum. To create a unique look with a splash of colour, use a ruby, emerald, or sapphire as the centre stone.
Sapphire
Sapphires are precious gemstones that consist of the mineral corundum. Blue sapphires are the most common, but yellow, orange and purple sapphires also exist.
After diamonds and moissanite, sapphires are the third hardest material on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness.
The symbolism of sapphires has changed over time. People also used to believe that a blue sapphire protected you against magic and witchcraft. According to Hindustani superstition, a sapphire brings good luck to the wearer under the influence of the planet of Saturn.
Today, sapphires mainly symbolise truth, love, purity and sincerity. With its intense blue appearance, the sapphire is perfect as an accent colour for an engagement ring or even a pair of earrings.
