The Cartier Solitaire 1895 ring: an iconic creation
At the end of the 19th century, Cartier created the Solitaire 1895, revolutionizing the art of diamond setting. This solitaire ring is distinguished by its six-prong setting, which elevates the diamond above the platinum band, allowing light to pass through the stone and amplify its brilliance. Platinum, a noble and durable metal, is Cartier's preferred choice. The Cartier Solitaire 1895 quickly became the archetype of the luxury engagement ring. Our collection reflects this tradition: each platinum solitaire ring, set with a certified diamond, tells a story of love and elegance.
The characteristics of the Cartier Solitaire 1895 ring
The Cartier Solitaire 1895 ring is recognizable by several distinctive elements that define its jewelry identity.
The iconic six-prong setting
The six-prong setting of the Cartier Solitaire 1895 ring is its signature aesthetic. These six platinum prongs firmly hold the diamond while simultaneously elevating it, allowing light to penetrate the stone from every angle. This setting maximizes the diamond's brilliance and creates the illusion of a floating stone. The delicate prongs are a testament to the jewelry-making expertise of the House of Cartier.
Platinum and diamond: the pinnacle of materials
The Cartier Solitaire 1895 ring is crafted in platinum, the quintessential precious metal. Platinum offers exceptional durability and a silvery-white hue that beautifully enhances the diamond. The Cartier platinum diamond solitaire will not tarnish and will retain its brilliance for decades. The diamond is the centerpiece of the creation: brilliant cut, high clarity, white color (D to G), and excellent cut. The diamond's carat weight varies from 0.30 carats to several carats for exceptional creations. Cartier diamonds are often accompanied by a GIA report certifying their characteristics (carat, color, clarity, cut).

Buying a pre-owned Cartier Solitaire 1895 ring requires careful consideration. At Castafiore, we guide you through a secure purchase.
Cartier verification and hallmarks
An authentic Cartier Solitaire 1895 ring can be identified by several features: the Cartier hallmark engraved inside the platinum band, the serial number, and the impeccable finish of the six-prong setting. Our expert jewelers meticulously examine each Cartier solitaire ring: verifying the platinum and hallmark, examining the diamond, and checking the setting. A Cartier Solitaire 1895 ring boasts a perfect finish and an exceptional diamond.
Documentation and preservation
The Cartier Certificate of Origin is the perfect accompaniment to every Cartier Solitaire 1895 ring. This document details the diamond's characteristics (carat, color, clarity) and confirms its platinum setting. A GIA report is the global benchmark for diamond valuation. The condition of a pre-owned ring directly influences its price: the platinum's appearance, the strength of the prongs, and the diamond's cleanliness. A platinum solitaire ring in excellent condition, with a verified diamond and its Cartier documentation, justifies a price close to that of a new ring.
Prices for pre-owned Cartier Solitaire 1895 rings
The price of a pre-owned Cartier Solitaire 1895 ring is determined after a thorough examination. Several criteria influence the valuation: the diamond's carat weight, its characteristics (color, clarity, cut), its overall condition, and the presence of the original documentation. A platinum Cartier Solitaire 1895 ring with a 0.50-carat diamond is reasonably priced, while a piece with a diamond of 2 carats or more warrants a higher valuation. The price of a pre-owned Cartier Solitaire 1895 ring remains lower than that of a new one (generally 20 to 40% less), while offering the same prestige.
