For those who don’t know, a solitaire is actually a single gemstone or diamond. The solitaire term is used for denoting ornaments containing only a single diamond or gemstone without any side stone.


When fixed in a piece of jewellery, such as ladies diamond bracelet or any other ornament, a solitaire signifies only one solitary stone inside that jewellery design.


Wedding rings or engagement rings by Jewelslane are the most common options that feature solitaire, as these jewellery pieces are special to anyone. You can even find certain solitaire diamond pendants or bracelets with a single diamond handing from pendants or charm bracelets online.


If you are looking forward to buying a solitaire, here are some important tips to consider when buying the precious jewellery stone. You can check the quality of the solitaire by evaluating these given points:-


Cut

The cut of a precious solitaire impacts its value to a great extent. You can consider its cut as one of the important factors that tell you about its brilliance and quality. The stones can be cut in many ways like the oval, round, emerald, cushion, marquise, princess and trillion. The better the cut with appropriate thinness and thickness at appropriate points, the brighter your diamond looks. Therefore, you must ensure that the solitaire you’re buying has a better cut and it shines brighter.


Colour

Diamonds come in different hues. From colourless to light yellow and even brown, there are many colours in which a diamond comes in. However, the colourless diamonds are the rarest and more expensive than the coloured ones. So, more colourless your solitaire is, the higher will be its value, quality and price.


Clarity

Many diamonds are known to bear some imperfections. The internal imperfections are considered as inclusions, whereas the external ones are referred to as blemishes. If a diamond has more inclusions or blemishes, it will be priced cheaper. However, a flawless diamond with no imperfections is rarest and highly priced and valued. To select the highest quality solitaire, you need to find a diamond with no or fewer imperfections.


Carat

Like gold charm jewellery online that is bought in terms of its weight in 24K carat, solitaire also depends on carats for its higher quality. One carat is equivalent to 1/5 gram. Further, it is divided into 100 points. But the carat in solitaire has no impact on its beauty but it surely determines its price. So, only consider the solitaire clarity after evaluating the other 3Cs mentioned above.
