The most appropriate cut and size of depends on several factors, including the size and shape of the wearers fingers and hand and his or her personal feel.

Solitaire rings are normally set in two different ways: prong and bezel. The prong is best for emphasizing the size and the brilliance of the stone. Moreover, it allows more light to pass through the stone enabling it give out a greater shine and sparkle. It is also the more popular choice for setting stones in solitaire rings and it does give greater visibility of the stone. But there are still people who prefer the bezel setting saying that prong setting can snag clothing and if the prongs are weak, one is liable to lose the stone without ones awareness. Setting in bezel gives a better degree of protection as the metal surrounds the stone, but it also means to a certain extent that lesser light passes through the stone. Of course the debate still goes on as to which setting is better but it most likely depends on the personal preference than anything else.

What ever choice you make, whether with the type of stone, its setting, or even the metal used, whether if it is made in platinum, gold, or silver, the main thing is the satisfaction it brings to the one wholl be wearing it. After all, the solitaire ring may be your key for escaping from a solitary life.
