Solitaire Stories
A solitaire is not just a diamond on a ring. It is the stone you chose for a reason — a proposal, an anniversary, a promise you made to yourself. We take that seriously.
Every solitaire at PMJ is GIA-certified, hand-picked from our sourcing offices, and set by our karigars in Hyderabad. We do not stock mass-produced rings. Each one is made to order, to your specifications.
Diamond Education
Understanding the Four Cs
Before you choose a solitaire, you should understand what you are paying for. Here is what actually matters.
Cut
The cut determines how a diamond interacts with light. A well-cut stone will sparkle from across the room. A poorly cut one will look dull even under a jeweller's lamp. We only stock stones graded Excellent or Very Good by GIA.
Colour
Diamond colour is graded from D (colourless) to Z (light yellow). Most of our solitaires fall between D and G — the range where the stone looks white to the naked eye. We will show you the difference under a loupe so you can decide what matters to you.
Clarity
Clarity measures the internal imperfections — called inclusions — inside a diamond. Our solitaires are VS2 or better, meaning any inclusions are invisible without magnification. We will never sell you a stone with a visible flaw.
Carat
Carat is weight, not size. A well-cut 0.90ct diamond can look larger than a poorly cut 1.10ct stone. We help you find the sweet spot where visual size, quality, and budget meet.
Settings & Styles
Find Your Setting
The setting changes how a diamond looks and feels on your hand. Each has its own character.
Classic Solitaire
A single diamond on a plain band. Nothing to distract from the stone. This is the setting that started it all.
Halo Setting
A circle of smaller diamonds around the centre stone. Adds visual size and sparkle without doubling the price.
Three-Stone
A centre stone flanked by two smaller diamonds. Traditionally represents past, present, and future. Works beautifully as an anniversary ring.

Common Questions
Can I see the diamond before committing?
Yes. Book a video call and our consultant will show you the exact stone under magnification and natural light. You decide after you have seen it — not before.
How long does a custom solitaire ring take?
Two to three weeks from the day you confirm the stone and setting. Bridal rush orders can be done in 10 days if the stone is in stock.
Do you ship internationally?
We ship across India with insured delivery. International shipping is available on request — contact us for details.
What if I want to upgrade later?
Bring your PMJ solitaire back at any time. We will give you 100% of the original stone value toward a larger diamond. The only condition is that the stone must be in the same condition as when we sold it.
