The diamond solitaire can trace its origins back to Ancient Roman times,when gold bands were occasionally set with a single uncut diamond crystal. These crystals would have been acquired directly from Indian traders and were highly prized by the Romans,as exampled by Pliny in his Naturalis historius.

'The substance that possesses the greatest value, not only among the precious stones, but of all human possessions'.

Indian and Islamic jewellers  were the first to facets this gemstone and they did so by polishing the stones with a powder made from ground up diamonds of lesser quality. This technique eventually made its way to Europe, where it was first adopted by Venetian lapidaries in around 1330.

The earliest form of faceted diamond is known as Point cut which was formed by cleaving the crystal in half  and polishing it to achieve a four- sided pyramidal shape. This later evolved in to the table cut, individual stones were subsequently set in to closed back box collet settings and mounted on intricately carved shanks with fine enameling.

Discovered in the 1720s, Brazilian diamond deposits supplemented the dwindling supply of Indian stones and increased the availability of diamonds like never before. The Georgian period saw the introduction of silver set diamonds, most of often in closed back cut down setting  mounted on curved gold shanks, occasionally with diamond set shoulders. Technological advancements meant that diamonds could now be faceted in a variety of ways, predominantly as rose cut and old cuts.

In the Victorian era the solitaires grew even more elaborated, as goldsmiths experimented with richly carved settings and whimsical forms.As the century progressed, advancement in goldsmith allowed diamonds to be set in more delicate,open claw settings, whilst the discovery of major deposits in south Africa increased the availability of this precious stone.
