Round brilliant solitaire engagement rings, handmade to order by our family workshop in the Cotswolds and set with a diamond you choose yourself. The round brilliant is the most popular diamond shape, cut with 57 facets for the most sparkle of any diamond. A solitaire holds one diamond on a clean band, so all the attention goes to the stone.

The round brilliant diamond
The round brilliant is cut for maximum sparkle. Its 57 facets are arranged to send as much light as possible back out of the top of the stone, which is why it hides small inclusions and a touch of colour better than any other shape. It suits every setting and every hand, and will never date. With a round diamond, a solitaire shows off the full outline of the stone.
Why a solitaire?
A solitaire is the purest engagement ring: one diamond on a plain band, with nothing to compete with the stone. It never dates, lets more light into the diamond than any other setting, and sits easily beside almost any wedding ring.
Choosing your round diamond
Cut grade matters more on a round diamond than on any other shape, because the round is graded for cut. Choose Excellent or Very Good for the best sparkle. Because rounds hide colour and inclusions well, a G to H colour and SI1 clarity often looks just as good face up as a far pricier stone.
Choose your own diamond
Every ring is set with a centre diamond you choose yourself, natural or lab-grown, from our live stock. Each stone has its grading report, and the ring page shows the finished price before you buy.
