The most requested ring in the history of engagements - the 1 Carat Solitaire. It never gets boring and never goes out of style. It is the mother of all classic engagement rings.

Solitaire rings have one single diamond. These engagement rings date back to the middle of the 20th Century. In most countries, women were only given an engagement ring. The value of this ring was to ensure that she had money if the man were to go back on his promise of marriage. The value of the ring would then help her “start over”.

CARAT means weight (1 carat = 1/5 of a gram). A diamond's weight is a very important factor influencing its cost.

The term "carat " originated from the seeds of the carob tree. These carob seeds are extremely uniform in weight and this made them the ideal weight unit for the ancient gem traders. This weight (one carob seed) was later standardized to be 1 carat, or 1/5th of a gram. Hence a 5 carat diamond equals 1 gram and 155.51 carats equal one ounce.
