The solitaire ring: A piece of jewellery that never goes out of style
In the world of fine jewellery, few pieces have the silent magnetism of the solitaire ring. It is simple, yes, but it is also timeless. A single diamond, or precious stone, set in a ring that does not compete, but frames and enhances its beauty. There is no excess, only essence. On Gordillo Jewellery, As we know, the solitaire ring is much more than a classic choice - it's a style statement that crosses generations.
What is a solitaire ring?
A solitaire ring is defined by one main characteristic: its design revolves around a single central stone, usually a diamond. There are no accompaniments, no halo of diamonds, no additional decorative cuts. The focus is entirely on that single gemstone, whose cut, colour and clarity become the undisputed protagonists.
This design was born in the 19th century, and was popularised by European firms as a symbol of purity, commitment and elegant simplicity. Today it remains the most desirable choice for engagement rings, but it is also chosen as a gift for anniversaries or key moments in life.
The beauty of simplicity
What makes the solitaire ring so iconic is its ability to stand the test of time without relying on fashions. It is a piece of jewellery that needs nothing else to shine, because it is built on a very powerful idea: that of focusing all attention on a single point of light.
Which stone to choose?
Although the diamond remains the undisputed king, many people choose to give the solitaire ring a twist by choosing coloured stones such as:
Sapphiresfor those seeking a regal aesthetic and a symbolism associated with wisdom.
Rubiesthat convey passion, energy and emotional strength.
Emeraldssymbol of growth and balance.
The choice depends on your style, your personal story and what you want to convey with that jewellery.
Carving, setting and proportion: the art of detailing
The design of a solitaire ring may seem simple, but it is one of the most technically demanding. Every detail counts:
Stone carvingThe new collection is available in a variety of colours: brilliant, emerald, oval, princess... Each one brings a different personality to the table.
The settingThe most classic is the claw stone (usually 4 or 6), which raises the stone and allows the light to pass through it with greater intensity.
The ring of the ringcan be fine or robust, with a polished, satin or even textured finish.
At Gordillo Jewellery, We take care of these details to the millimetre, designing hand in hand with our master craftsmen who understand that simplicity requires absolute precision.
The solitaire ring as a symbol of commitment
From fine jewellery showcases to red carpets, the solitaire ring has established itself as the ultimate emblem of commitment. It is the style choice made by icons like Meghan Markle, Blake Lively or Grace Kelly, all of them with pieces that, despite the decades of difference, share the same essence: a single stone as the absolute centre of attention. This minimalist silhouette needs no accompaniment to shine. Its clean and elegant design adapts to everyday wear, without ever falling into excess, and it goes perfectly with wedding rings or other more personal jewellery.
But it's not all about aesthetics. The true power of the solitaire ring lies in its ability to tell a story through a single detail. By avoiding secondary decorations, the stone - usually a diamond - becomes the symbolic reflection of the love it represents. This is why many women, famous or not, choose the solitaire ring as a gesture that combines elegance, permanence and a very personal sense of beauty.
