Solitaire Engagement Rings: Elegant Simplicity, Timeless Beauty
There’s something undeniably powerful about simplicity. Solitaire engagement rings embrace this philosophy, showcasing a single, stunning gemstone as the star of the show. At Market Square Jewelers, our estate collection of solitaire engagement rings celebrates refined elegance, classic design, and enduring love: one stone, one setting, one extraordinary statement.
Whether you’re drawn to the clean lines of a modern solitaire or the romance of a vintage setting, each ring in our collection has been hand-selected for its craftsmanship, history, and timeless appeal. These are pieces designed to never go out of style, offering beauty that lasts a lifetime and beyond.
Why Choose a Solitaire Engagement Ring?
A solitaire engagement ring places all the attention on the center stone, highlighting its brilliance, cut, and character. Without additional accents or embellishments, the solitaire setting allows the gemstone to speak for itself. It’s a symbol of singular devotion, a clean, uncluttered expression of love that’s as enduring as it is elegant.
At Market Square Jewelers, we specialize in estate jewelry with stories to tell. Our solitaire engagement rings span decades of style, from Victorian and Art Deco antiques to sleek mid-century modern pieces. Each one is a unique treasure, crafted to stand the test of time.
The History and Significance of Solitaire Rings
The solitaire setting rose to prominence in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, championed by jewelers seeking to highlight the growing popularity of beautifully cut gemstones, especially diamonds. Its minimalist design made it a favorite for engagement rings, allowing the wearer to celebrate love with a timeless, elegant look.
Today, the solitaire remains the most iconic and versatile engagement ring style. Whether set with a diamond, sapphire, ruby, or other precious gemstone, its classic silhouette adapts beautifully to a wide range of tastes and eras.
Styles of Solitaire Engagement Rings at Market Square Jewelers
Our collection features a wide range of solitaire styles, each with its own personality and charm. Whether you’re looking for an antique heirloom or a modern classic, there’s a solitaire ring to suit every vision.

For a fresh and streamlined look, our modern solitaires feature clean bands and bold center stones. These rings are perfect for those who appreciate minimalism with maximum impact.
Gemstone Solitaire Engagement Rings
While diamonds are a classic choice, we also offer solitaires featuring sapphires, rubies, emeralds, and other vibrant gemstones. These rings add a colorful twist to the traditional solitaire and make a meaningful, personal statement.
Unique Solitaire Settings
Not all solitaires are created equal. Our collection includes a variety of settings from classic four-prong mounts to bezel and cathedral styles, that offer different profiles, security, and design aesthetics.
What to Look for in a Solitaire Ring
When selecting a solitaire engagement ring, the quality and character of the center stone take center stage. Here’s what to consider:
Gemstone
Whether you prefer the brilliance of a diamond or the rich color of a sapphire or ruby, our estate solitaires feature hand-selected natural stones known for their beauty and durability.
Cut
The cut of the stone affects how it reflects light and sparkles. Our collection includes a variety of cuts: round, oval, emerald, cushion, pear, and more, each offering a different style and brilliance.
Setting
The right setting enhances your stone while keeping it secure. From delicate prongs to protective bezels, we offer solitaire rings in a range of mountings that highlight the stone and match your lifestyle.
Metal
Choose from timeless yellow gold, sleek white gold, romantic rose gold, or durable platinum. Each metal offers a different look and feel to suit your personal style.
Caring for Your Solitaire Engagement Ring
Because the center stone is exposed and prominent, it’s important to take proper care of your solitaire engagement ring. Clean regularly with warm water, mild soap, and a soft brush to keep your stone sparkling. Avoid harsh chemicals and take care when wearing during heavy activity.
We also recommend having your setting professionally inspected from time to time, especially for prong-set stones, to ensure security and peace of mind.
