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 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.

Yellow Gold

This precious metal consists of pure gold mixed with alloys such as copper for a warmer tone and silver and palladium to a paler colour. Its colour is perfect for a classic feeling of luxury! 

Yellow gold comes in varying levels of purity, measured in karat (or kt). The most alloys for gold are 18kt (75% pure gold) and 24kt (99.9% pure gold). Other purity levels available include 9kt (37.5%), 14kt (58.3%) and 22kt (91.7%). 

While a higher karat count is purer, it also makes the precious metal less durable. That's why jewellers tend to use 18kt, 14kt, or 9kt for jewellery that should last long-term. Like a striking engagement ring or wedding ring.
