Why choose a solitaire?
The most timeless design that exists: the solitaire never goes out of style. It has been the top choice for proposals for decades, and there are solid reasons for it:
- Versatile: It goes with everything. From formal looks to jeans and a t-shirt. Your partner will be able to wear it every day without it feeling out of place.
- All the spotlight: All attention goes to the stone. If you've chosen a spectacular diamond, the solitaire showcases it in all its glory without competing elements.
- Durability: It's the most resilient design. Fewer decorative elements means less risk of something coming loose or getting damaged with daily wear.
- Easy to pair: If in the future you want a wedding band, the solitaire pairs perfectly — as long as it has a high profile.
High profile or low profile?
This is the first important decision in a solitaire:
High Profile:
- The stone rises noticeably above the finger
- Maximum visual impact
- Ideal if your partner will wear the wedding band on the other hand
Low Profile:
- The stone sits closer to the finger and is more comfortable to wear.
- More understated design with less risk of bumping it.
- ⚠️ Does NOT pair well with wedding bands on the same finger
- Less risk of snagging on clothing or reaching into pockets
Setting types
Prongs (classic)
Small metal "claws" that hold the stone by the sides:
Advantages:
- Maximum light entry into the stone
- The most traditional and recognizable design
- Enhances the diamond's brilliance
Disadvantages:
- Prongs can snag on clothing
- Periodic inspection recommended (prongs may loosen over the years).
NOTE: adding a basket connecting the prongs will improve durability and minimize the risk of losing the stone.
Ideal for: Those who want the classic solitaire look and prioritize brilliance.
Bezel-set (2026 trend)
A metal rim surrounds the entire stone, protecting it completely:
Advantages:
- Maximum protection for the stone
- Modern, minimalist design
- Does NOT snag on anything
- Virtually maintenance-free
Disadvantages:
- Slightly less light reaches the stone (minimal difference in practice)
Ideal for: Active people, manual jobs, dynamic lifestyles.
Partial bezel
Metal surrounds the stone on some sides but leaves it exposed on others:
Advantages:
- Balance between protection and brilliance
- Modern aesthetic with more light than a full bezel
Ideal for: Those who want protection but don't want to sacrifice brilliance
Choose your gemstone
Lab-Grown Diamonds
Chemically identical to natural diamonds, but created in a lab in weeks rather than millions of years:
Why choose them:
- Same brilliance, hardness, and durability as natural diamonds
- 40–60% more affordable than natural equivalents
- Guaranteed ethical origin
- IGI certificates included
Price range in solitaires: €1,800 – €3,500

Moissanites
A different gemstone from diamond, with its own distinct properties:
Why choose them:
- More brilliance than diamonds (more "fire" and sparkle)
- Extremely durable (9.25 on the hardness scale vs 10 for diamond)
- Much more accessible price point
- Perfect for large stones without blowing your budget
Price range in solitaires: €1,150 – €2,200

Which to choose?
- If you want "the classic diamond": Lab-grown diamond
- If you want maximum brilliance at a better price: Moissanite
- If the budget is tight but you want a larger stone: Moissanite, without a doubt
The metal
14k and 18k White Gold
- Elegant and durable. Each person should decide whether they prefer greater durability (14k) or a higher gold content (18k).
- White gold requires maintaining the rhodium plating to keep its silver-toned appearance.
14k and 18k Yellow Gold
- Yellow gold has gained popularity in recent years for its warm, timeless appeal. Pairing it with white gold prongs minimizes any color-change effect on colorless stones like diamonds.
14k and 18k Rose Gold
- Romantic and modern at once. A unique tone that stands out.
Platinum
- The most noble metal. Dense, durable, naturally white. An option that requires less maintenance than white gold and is far more durable than other metals like silver.
Round Brilliant Cut
- The most popular for solitaires
- Maximum brilliance and "fire"
- Classic and timeless

Frequently asked questions
What is the custom ring design and production process at BRAVORA? How long does it take?
We work 100% on demand:
- Briefing (style, budget, and timeline)
- Proposal and fixed quote (we cover all unexpected costs)
- Secure payment (card or bank transfer)
- 3D render and revisions (as many as you need)
- Handcrafted production
- Delivery.
Production typically takes ~4 weeks from your 'OK' on the render design, and the full process is usually 4–5 weeks depending on complexity. If you have a specific date, we prioritize it and keep you updated at every milestone.
Are the diamonds certified? GIA or IGI?
Yes. All diamonds, whether natural or lab-grown, are delivered with an independent certificate — typically GIA or IGI, depending on availability and preference. These certificates detail the 4Cs and the laser inscription on the girdle for online verification. Moissanites and other lab-created stones are not externally certified, but we guarantee their quality and authenticity through our internal quality control.
Do you have a physical store or showroom where we can see rings in person?
We don't have a store open to the public; the workshop is not open to visitors. We work with a digital model to offer fair pricing without retail overhead. We guide you through video calls, 3D renders, and scaled photos and videos.
How is payment made? Do you offer financing?
Payment is made upfront via bank transfer or a secure card link. Many customers split the payment through their own bank (their bank's installment option).
How do I get the size right if I want it to be a surprise?
We can guide you with at-home methods (measuring an existing ring or using a ring sizer) and, if we don't get it right, we include a free ring resizing within 90 days of delivery.
We're not here to sell you the "most expensive" ring.
