Solitaire Jewellery provides diamonds directly from the diamond cutter in Antwerp, Belgium. We only purchases finished diamonds; the rough diamonds that are cut and polished in Belgium are sourced globally (i.e Africa, Canada, and Russia). Antwerp has sustained its status as the centre of the global diamond business for more than 5 centuries. Only registered diamond traders can import or export diamonds in Belgium.

Guidance & Advice
We build our jewellery in our shop and have all of our final pieces locally evaluated and certified for your insurance requirements. We are dedicated to sustaining client relationships, and we are an expert in the toughest thing in the industry: trust.
Solitaire is a certified diamond grader. We are confident that we have the qualifications you are after because we specialize in loose diamonds and exceptional service.
We’re here to help you make informed and comfortable buying decisions based on solid information. The diamond you select is truly one of a kind in that there is not another one with the exact characteristics as yours.
These are carat (weight), colour, clarity, and cut - the 4 C’s.
While most people know to look at one or two of these, overlooking any will drastically reduce your diamond quality.
The characteristic most often overlooked is the most important: cut.
Every diamond is cut and polished into 58 facets which are designed to capture and reflect light. As light enters a top facet it is bounced out another top facet.
A sloppy cut will bounce the light incorrectly and it‘ will escape unnoticed through the bottom or side of the stone.
The better the cut, the better it sparkles.
The traditional 58 facets in a round brilliant diamond, each precisely cut and defined, are as small as one millimeter in diameter. Without precision, a diamond wouldn’t be nearly as beautiful.
The attractiveness of a particular diamond depends more on cut than anything else.
The cut of any diamond is evaluated on three attributes: Brilliance (the total light reflected from a diamond), Fire (the dispersion of light into the colors of the spectrum), and Scintillation (the flashes of light, or sparkle, when a diamond is moved).

To most, the engagement ring symbolizes your promise of love and commitment. Proposing should be a very special, memorable, and romantic experience. Since the engagement ring will be an intrinsic part of this pivotal moment, and the ring will be worn before and after the wedding, it is important to consider what would be the ideal ring for your loved one, and your circumstances.
This means planning and research is necessary before you make a purchase. You may consider speaking to friends who have gone through the purchasing process, checking Internet sites, speaking to jewellers and "shopping around". Your research should include a comparison of styles, gaining knowledge of diamonds, as well as familiarizing yourself with prices and materials.
It should go without saying that your loved one is the focus of your search for the perfect ring. Should you decide to search together, you should discuss your findings and preferences.
A custom-made diamond engagement ring is certainly an option you should consider. Ideally, a custom ring will satisfy your requirements and demonstrate your definition of the perfect ring, since you are an integral part of its creation. Imagine explaining to your better half that you've helped design the ring and select the diamonds; how truly unique it is.
Remember also, that there is no solid rule regarding what percentage of your income you should spend on an engagement ring. Rather, consider the importance of the ring and the reality of your finances. The more rare the diamonds are, the more expensive the ring will be.
At Solitaire Jewellery’s exclusive studio, you can hold and examine our diamonds before making a purchase.
A diamond dealer will not purchase a diamond online. Why should you?
Unlike the on-line buying experience, where you don't really know what the final product is going to look like, when you purchase from us, you can view, inspect and truly experience the beauty of the most precious stone of all: a diamond.
Together, we’ll determine your perfect diamond.
