Audrey Hepburn, a lady known for her poise and impeccable taste, was a fan of pink. In her own words,

“I believe in pink … I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles.”

This much-loved movie star was spot-on when she associated beauty with happiness—after all, a smile elevates anyone’s appearance. And, it’s not surprising that she mentioned pink shortly before talking about this connection: few colors have the ability to solicit a smile quite like this feminine hue. This makes pink topaz rings excellent ways to not only bring on a grin, but to light up your entire face as a result.

Any solitaire ring takes on a bold yet feminine personality when it’s set with a stone as daring and strikingly beautiful as pink topaz, and the Pink Topaz Modern Solitaire Ring is a gorgeous example. While, at first glance, this style might look like an ordinary solitaire with a bright stone, the contemporary setting of this ring provides a fresh spin that becomes evident when you take a closer look. This updated single-stone ring features an eye-catching 6.5mm round pink topaz that’s held by a subtly-updated setting. In place of the expected four prongs are four pairs of prongs that secure this gem to a simple band of shining 14K white gold.

Pink topaz solitaires can serve as stunning gemstone engagement rings as their bright color represents a love that’s bold and unashamed. The Pink Topaz and Diamond Accent Solitaire Engagement Ring places a brightly-colored gem in the center of a shining blossom to form a striking representation of a love that’s always vibrant. A round 6mm pink topaz is the centerpiece of this stunning solitaire ring as it’s held by an elegant, feminine setting that’s inspired by an open flower. Four 14K white gold petals cradle this brilliant gem, holding it above a gleaming band. Each of these petals is accented with diamonds and milgrain edges, giving this piece an extra measure of glamour.

The heart has represented emotion for centuries. While it’s uncertain exactly when the symbol of the heat was first used to symbolize love, by the Middle Ages it was used to represent the love of Christ and it appeared in Christian art of that time period. Within a few centuries, the heart became associated with Valentine’s Day, solidifying its connection to a message of affection.

Regardless of exactly how the heart came to symbolize love, it’s not surprising that it’s long been connected with emotion. After all, when we’re in love, we feel it in our physical hearts as they flutter, pound and race when the one we love is near.

While diamond solitaire rings all share one common characteristic—they all feature a single stone—they’re not all the same! A change in the cut of the stone, in the metal that holds it or even in the color of the stone, from traditional white to blue or black, can make a big difference in a solitaire ring’s appearance. Let’s take a look at a few of the many faces of single-stone styles.

Solitaire rings that feature round white diamonds are the quintessential diamond engagement rings. The 1.00 Carat Round Diamond Solitaire Ring in 14K White Gold is a dazzling example as it showcases a brilliant 1 carat round white diamond and places it on a gleaming 3mm-wide band, crafted from 14K white gold. This ring is simple and simply perfect, and is available with diamonds ranging from 0.10 carat to a full carat.

Princess-cut diamonds provide a more modern but equally timeless look for solitaire rings, as demonstrated by the 0.75 Carat Princess Cut Diamond Solitaire Ring in 14K Yellow Gold. This ring beautifully displays a contemporary square-shaped stone, allowing it to rise elegantly from a warm, gleaming 14K yellow gold band.

Cathedral settings can give princess-cut diamond solitaire rings an fresh look as they rise up to meet the stones they hold like the sweeping arches of the cathedrals for which they’re named. The 3/4 Carat Cathedral Princess Cut Diamond Engagement Ring in 14K White Gold is a lovely example, fit for a modern-day princess.

If you’re looking for a diamond solitaire ring with a twist, consider one of Apples of Gold’s blue diamond solitaire rings. These eye-catching pieces feature diamonds with a unique blue sparkle that’s deeper than that of an aquamarine and more vibrant than that of a sapphire. Available with stones ranging from a quarter carat to a full carat, these rings buck tradition in all the right ways.

Black diamond solitaire rings provide another unexpected take on single-stone style, one that’s incredibly glamorous with a hint of mystery. The 2 Carat Black Diamond Solitaire Ring takes full advantage of the black diamond’s sophistication and intrigue by placing a stunning, can’t-miss-it 2-carat round black diamond on a gleaming 14K white gold band. This show-stopping piece gives the classic solitaire a chic new personality that’s just as versatile as the traditional look upon which it’s based. If you’d rather a ring that’s slightly more subtle, but with the same sense of mystery, Apples of Gold also carries black diamond solitaire rings with half-carat and 1-carat stones.

Single-stoned rings come in far more than a single style. These rings prove that there’s more than one way to wear a solitaire!

Diamond solitaire rings place a single, brilliant stone in the spotlight, showcasing the cut of the stone and the sparkle that results. These styles are timeless representations of love that has been shaped by the trials it has endured to form a thing of dazzling beauty. When everything else falls away, this type of love remains, and the stand-alone nature of the diamonds in solitaire styles capture its strength and determination.

Apples of Gold carries several styles of diamond solitaire rings, each of which puts its own unique spin on traditional style. Each is available in your choice of sizes and metals, allowing for a range of looks from classy and subdued to traffic-stopping.

Round solitaire diamond rings are the most classic of engagement ring styles, and Apples of Gold carries rings with stones ranging from 0.10 carats to a full carat, providing options for many tastes and budgets. The 0.62 Carat Round Diamond Solitaire Ring in 14K White Gold is just one simply stunning example of this timeless look.

Princess-cut solitaires such as the 0.50 Carat Princess Cut Diamond Solitaire Ring in 14K Yellow Gold provide a slightly more geometric look than rings with round stones. The cut of the diamonds featured in these rings provides extra sparkle and adds a modern edge to a classic.

Solitaire rings with cathedral settings rise to the occasion, appearing to elevate a single diamond with the ultimate in elegance. The bands of these styles curve up to meet the top edge of the princess-cut stones they contain like the graceful arches of a cathedral reaching toward the heavens. These rings, such as Apples of Gold’s 1/3 Carat Cathedral Princess Cut Diamond Engagement Ring in 14K White Gold, are architectural yet full of movement and dazzle.

While white diamond solitaire rings are the most common variety for engagement rings, blue and black solitaire rings can also symbolize the enduring nature of a love that only gets stronger as it faces roadblocks. Black diamonds bring depth and mystery to single-stone styles, while blue diamonds add a sense of vibrancy that helps to communicate love that remains full of life no matter what it faces. For example, the 1 Carat Blue Diamond Solitaire Ring is an unexpected, eye-catching variation that boldly expresses your commitment and affection.

No matter which cut you choose, diamond solitaire rings can capture a love that will remain when all else falls away. These rings celebrate that the two of you will always make a way.
