Is a solitaire ring a diamond?

Most solitaire rings are solitaire diamond rings that feature a round brilliant cut to showcase the diamond’s sparkle. However, not all solitaire rings have to be made with diamonds, other stunning gemstones such as rubies, sapphires, pearls, and emeralds are also great choices depending on the wearer’s taste.
