FAQ on Solitaire Engagement Rings
A solitaire engagement ring is a classic ring design that features a single diamond as the centrepiece. The simplicity of this setting highlights the brilliance and beauty of the diamond, making it one of the most timeless and popular choices for proposals.
A diamond refers to the gemstone itself, while a solitaire refers to the style of the ring setting. In a solitaire engagement ring, one diamond is set prominently, without additional side stones or embellishments.
The most popular shape for a solitaire diamond is the round brilliant cut, known for its exceptional sparkle and timeless appeal. However, other shapes like oval, princess, and emerald cuts are also highly sought after in Malaysia, as they offer a unique look while still keeping the diamond as the centre of attention.
No, a solitaire is not a fake diamond. The word “solitaire” describes the ring design, not the authenticity of the diamond. A solitaire can feature a natural diamond, lab-grown diamond, or even other gemstones, but at SK Jewellery, we ensure every diamond solitaire ring is authentic and certified.
The best way to confirm authenticity is through certification by trusted gemological institutes such as GIA or IGI. At SK Jewellery, every diamond solitaire engagement ring is internationally certified by IGI, a world-renowned gemology lab that verifies its quality, cut, colour, clarity, and carat weight.
Yes, lab-grown diamond solitaires are typically 30–40% more affordable than natural diamonds of the same cut, colour, clarity, and carat weight. Both are real diamonds with identical chemical and optical properties. Choosing a lab-grown solitaire allows you to enjoy a larger or higher-quality diamond at a more accessible price point.
There is no fixed carat size for a solitaire. It can range from less than 0.5 carat to several carats, depending on preference and budget. Popular choices for solitaire engagement rings usually range between 0.5 to 1.5 carats. For those looking to make a statement, larger carat sizes are also available.
Yes, solitaire rings pair beautifully with wedding bands. Their simple design makes them versatile, allowing them to sit seamlessly with classic gold bands, diamond eternity bands, or custom designs for a perfect bridal set.

A solitaire ring is timeless, versatile, and elegant. It draws all attention to the diamond, making it the centre of focus. It also matches effortlessly with different wedding band styles, making it a long-lasting and meaningful choice.
Yes, most solitaire engagement rings can be resized. At SK Jewellery Malaysia, our diamond specialists can advise you on the resizing process depending on the ring’s design and metal type. Resizing ensures the perfect fit, but we always recommend confirming the ring size beforehand to maintain the integrity of the setting.
