How to choose your diamond solitaire?
The diamond solitaire is the quintessential engagement ring: a central stone showcased by a claw setting. To pair it with a wedding band, consider the diamond wedding ring. First assess the diamond using the 4Cs (carat, cut, colour, clarity); keep in mind that cut quality matters more than carat for brilliance. Then choose the setting: 4 claws for a clean, luminous look, 6 claws for maximum stone security. Select the carrying metal: white gold wedding ring or platinum wedding ring to enhance the diamond's fire, yellow gold or rose gold for a warmer contrast. Each solitaire comes with a certificate of authenticity, and our jewellers in Nice and Monaco adjust the size and prepare the proposal box.
Which diamond solitaire for which profile?
- Classic engagement → 6 claws, white gold
- Clean, luminous style → 4-claw setting
- Warm taste → yellow gold or rose gold solitaire
- Valuable stone, daily wear → platinum setting
- Optimised budget → prioritise cut over carat
The Auberi insight: most of our solitaires leave in a 6-claw white gold setting, the great classic of the engagement. Our clients value the security of the stone.
Frequently asked questions
4 or 6 claws?
4 claws let in more light for a clean look; 6 claws hold the stone more firmly, recommended for a valuable diamond or intensive daily wear. We advise you according to your use.
Which carat for a solitaire?
It depends on budget and style. Rather than aim for a big carat, favour an excellent cut: a well-cut diamond looks brighter and often larger than a heavier, poorly proportioned stone.
Does the solitaire come with a certificate?
Yes, each diamond comes with a certificate of authenticity detailing its 4Cs. It is a guarantee of transparency, resale value and peace of mind for the proposal.
Can I find the finger size in secret?
Yes, our advisers have several tricks to estimate the size discreetly. And resizing is still possible after the proposal: we adjust the ring free of charge in Nice and Monaco.
