Solitaire Collection - Natural Diamonds

A solitaire pendant is a necklace featuring a single diamond suspended from a chain — the pendant equivalent of a solitaire ring. Like the ring, it celebrates one exceptional diamond without distraction, allowing its brilliance, cut, and proportions to take center stage.

At Solitaire Jewels, we craft solitaire pendants in several configurations:

• Classic prong solitaire pendant: A natural diamond held in four or six prongs
• Bezel solitaire pendant: A diamond enclosed in a continuous metal frame
• Halo solitaire pendant: A center diamond surrounded by a halo of pavé diamonds
• Floating solitaire pendant: A diamond appearing to “float” with minimal visible setting

Solitaire pendants are among the most versatile pieces in fine jewelry — equally suited to daily wear, evening occasions, and milestone gifting. Many of our clients match a solitaire pendant to their solitaire ring or solitaire stud earrings for a cohesive signature set. To explore our collection, visit the solitaire pendant collection.

Diamond stud earrings are earrings featuring a single diamond mounted in a simple, secure setting designed to sit close to the earlobe. They are the most iconic, versatile, and frequently worn style of fine diamond earring. A stud has no dangle, no chain, and no movement — just one diamond, set firmly, allowed to do all the work.

At Solitaire Jewels, our diamond stud earrings are crafted with:

• Natural diamonds, individually selected and matched as a pair
• Settings in18k white gold, 18k yellow gold, or 18k rose gold
• Carat weights ranging from 0.20ct per ear to 3.00ct+ per ear
• Secure backings including screw-back, push-back, and omega closures

Diamond studs are the foundation of any fine jewelry wardrobe — appropriate for the office, evening events, weddings, and daily wear. They are also one of the most popular first fine jewelry purchases.

The best carat size for diamond stud earrings depends on the wearer’s lifestyle, ear size, and intended use. The figure most commonly cited is total carat weight (TCW) — the combined weight of both diamonds, not the weight per ear.

General guidance by carat:

0.20–0.40ct TCW: Delicate, ideal for daily wear, babies, children, and a refined first pair
0.50–1.00ct TCW: The most popular range — visible without being ostentatious
1.00–2.00ct TCW: Statement size, presence at any distance, popular for milestone gifting
2.00ct+ TCW: Bold and dramatic, suitable for evening, formal events, or signature pieces

At Solitaire Jewels, we encourage clients to consider both carat per ear and total carat weight. A 1ct TCW pair means 0.50ct per ear — a noticeable presence on most ears. Our team helps each client find the balance.

Yes — diamond stud earrings for babies and children are an established tradition, particularly across the GCC where ear piercing at a young age is common. At Solitaire Jewels, our atelier crafts diamond studs sized and designed specifically for children:

Smaller carat sizes (0.05–0.15ct per ear) — appropriate scale for small earlobes
Bezel or four-prong secure settings — no protruding edges, smooth profile against the ear
Screw-back or safety lock closures — to prevent accidental loss
18k gold — hypoallergenic and gentle for children’s skin
Smaller post diameter — comfortable for young earlobes

We strongly recommend screw-back closures for any child’s diamond earrings, regardless of size. Many of our clients commission first diamond studs as milestone gifts: first birthday, first communion, or other family celebrations.

Diamond stud earrings are one of the most universally well-received gifts in fine jewellery, suitable for nearly every milestone occasion. At Solitaire Jewels, popular gifting occasions include:

• Birthdays and milestone birthdays (16, 18, 21, 30, 40, 50, 60)
• Anniversaries — particularly first, fifth, tenth, and twenty-fifth
• Mother’s Day
• Wedding gifts to the bride from the groom, or from parents
• Graduation gifts at university or postgraduate level
• The birth of a child — A meaningful gift to the mother
• Religious milestones — Eid celebrations

Diamond studs work for virtually any age, any taste, and any lifestyle. We offer complimentary gift packaging in our signature Solitaire Jewels presentation box.
