Shouldered Solitaire (196)

An accompanied solitaire is an engagement ring whose central diamond is set off by stones on the band or around the setting, heightening the brilliance of the whole. Halfway between the classic solitaire and the halo, it offers more presence than a single stone while keeping the elegance of a clean line. It belongs to the engagement and wedding world of Edenly.

Recognising an accompanied solitaire

The principle is simple: a central stone, always the queen, surrounded or emphasised by smaller diamonds. This accompaniment takes several forms. A pavé along the top of the band extends the light of the main stone. Side stones, on either side of the central diamond, frame the setting. Some models combine both. The result sparkles more than a bare solitaire, without ever drawing the eye away from the main stone.

Understanding the budget

For this type of ring, the central stone weighs most heavily in the price: its size in carats and its nature make the budget vary considerably. Several routes allow you to adjust without giving up the style. The cluster setting, which gathers several small diamonds into one luminous centre, offers presence at a lower cost. The lab-grown diamond, with the same properties as a natural diamond, is a more accessible alternative. A coloured gemstone, sapphire, emerald or ruby, opens up further possibilities. Our engagement ring guide, at the top of the category, helps you to compare these options and choose with full knowledge.

Choosing your ring with confidence

The colour of the gold steers the result: white gold underlines the brilliance of the diamonds, yellow gold warms the whole, rose gold brings a gentler note. At Edenly, every diamond is selected colourless or nearly so, with inclusions invisible to the naked eye, and comes with its certificate. Engraving is included, and every ring has 30 days to be resized, exchanged or refunded.
