Where does the Solitaire Ring come from?
The solitaire ring was made of platinum by Tiffany & Co. in 1886. Soon it became the most popular engagement ring design. Instead of sapphires, diamonds are now placed on the rings. In addition, the gemstones are no longer hidden in the setting. This allows light to enter at the bottom of the gemstone. The light incidence makes the diamond appear even more shiny and larger. However, a good cut contributes most to the sparkle of the diamond. One forms the surface into many tiny facets. Thus, the reflected light breaks wonderfully in the diamond.
Initially, the stone was held by a claw-like setting. Which is known under the term “claw setting”. The first solitaire models had settings with six claws. Nowadays, variants with more or less common. This type of setting was considered one of the most important of the 19th century.
