Buying advice

Solitaire or trilogy: which ring suits you?

Compare the look, side-diamond choices and price structure of these two engagement-ring styles.

Oval Cathedral Trilogy Engagement Ring with Oval Side Stones

Start with the design you enjoy looking at, then work through the details.

A solitaire keeps the focus on the centre

A single centre diamond gives you a straightforward starting point. Compare the claw arrangement, gallery and band profile: two solitaires with the same diamond shape can look quite different from the side.

A trilogy adds a pair of side stones

The sides can echo the centre’s shape or introduce a contrast, such as pear-shaped sides beside a round centre. Their size changes the overall balance. In the preview, you can leave matching to the jeweller or request a side-pair weight.

Compare complete prices

Our engagement-ring setting prices exclude the centre diamond. Trilogy starting prices include the entry side pair; a different pair may add cost. Keep the centre, side-size upgrades and any engraving in mind when setting your total budget.

Think about the wedding band

Look at the gallery and the space beneath the centre setting. A band that appears to fit in a top view may meet the setting differently in profile. Check the two rings together before choosing a pairing.
