Charlotte Solitaire

The Charlotte Solitaire

Round cut solitaire engagement ring — the Charlotte by Neophytou Jewellery — is a timeless expression of love and refined craftsmanship. Designed for those who believe that true luxury lies in precision and proportion, the Charlotte distils the engagement ring to its most perfect form: a brilliant round diamond elevated above a graceful, high-polish band.

At first glance, the Charlotte appears effortlessly simple. Look closer and its character reveals itself. The four-prong basket holds the centre stone with a quiet confidence, allowing the maximum amount of light to enter the diamond from every angle. Beneath the setting, an architectural open gallery frames a signature V-shaped cut-out — a structural detail that gives the Charlotte its distinctive silhouette and sets it apart from an ordinary round cut solitaire engagement ring.

The band tapers smoothly from the cathedral shoulders toward the shank, lending the ring a graceful, flattering profile on the finger. Every curve is considered. Every surface is brought to a mirror-bright polish. The result is a ring that photographs beautifully, wears elegantly and endures for generations.

Setting Only — Your Choice of Centre Stone

The Charlotte is sold as a setting only. This gives you complete freedom to select the centre stone that reflects your values, your budget and your story. After adding the setting to your order, you will choose from:

• Natural Diamond — Earth-formed, ethically sourced, unique in every facet
• Lab-Grown Diamond — Chemically, optically and physically identical to a mined diamond, created sustainably in a controlled environment
• Coloured Gemstone — Sapphire, ruby, emerald and beyond — for a centre stone with personal meaning
• Coloured Lab Stone — Vivid, sustainable, and created with the same precision as their natural counterparts

Our team at Neophytou Jewellery is available to guide you through your stone selection. Book an appointment or contact us directly and we will help you find the perfect match for your Charlotte setting.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Charlotte Solitaire come with a centre stone?

No. The Charlotte is sold as a setting only. This allows you to choose the centre stone that is right for you — whether that is a natural diamond, a lab-grown diamond, a coloured gemstone or a coloured lab stone. Our team will guide you through the stone selection process after you have chosen your setting.

Why does the Charlotte use four prongs instead of six?

The four-prong setting is a deliberate design choice that maximises the visibility of the round brilliant centre stone. With fewer metal prongs covering the girdle, more of the diamond’s surface is exposed to light, enhancing its brilliance and fire. It also gives the Charlotte its clean, minimalist aesthetic.

What centre stone options are available for this setting?

The Charlotte setting is compatible with a round brilliant centre stone in your choice of: Natural Diamond, Lab-Grown Diamond, Coloured Gemstone (such as sapphire, ruby or emerald) or Coloured Lab Stone. Contact us to discuss stone availability and pricing.

What is the difference between a natural diamond and a lab-grown diamond?

A natural diamond is formed in the earth over billions of years. A lab-grown diamond is created in a controlled environment but is chemically, physically and optically identical to a mined diamond. Both are real diamonds. Lab-grown diamonds typically offer greater value at a lower price point. Visit our FAQ page to learn more.

Can I choose a coloured gemstone for the Charlotte?

Yes. The Charlotte setting can be paired with a range of coloured gemstones including sapphire, ruby and emerald, as well as coloured lab-grown stones. Please contact us or book an appointment to explore available options.

What metals is the Charlotte available in?

The Charlotte round cut solitaire engagement ring is available in three 18 karat gold options: 18K White Gold, 18K Yellow Gold and 18K Rose Gold. All metals are hallmarked and crafted to the highest quality standards.

What is the difference between white gold, yellow gold and rose gold?

18K White Gold has a cool, silvery tone that is rhodium-plated for extra brightness — ideal for maximising diamond sparkle. 18K Yellow Gold is warm and classic, the traditional choice for engagement rings. 18K Rose Gold has a romantic blush-pink hue created by a higher copper alloy content. All three are equally durable and luxurious.

Does the Charlotte pair with a wedding band?

Yes. The Charlotte’s tapered plain shank is designed to sit neatly alongside a classic or fitted wedding band. Browse our Wedding Bands collection or speak to our team about a bespoke matched set.
