If you want a classic Brilliant Earth solitaire without paying for platinum, shortlist the 14k Aire and the Reverie first. In the solitaire settings Brilliant Earth's product feed listed on 13 October 2026, prices ran from $790 to $3,290, with a median of $1,390. The 14k gold medians, yellow, white and rose alike, all came to $1,190, and the Aire is listed right on that figure. Platinum is where prices climb: its median in the same sample was $1,590.
Those figures come from the solitaire listings the feed search returned that day. That's a sample of the range, not the full catalog, and the prices are listed prices, not what anyone paid after a promotion. The ten rings below run from the lowest price in that sample to the highest, and every description of them comes from Brilliant Earth's own product pages.
Before you compare anything, treat these as setting prices. The Frame listing says outright that it takes a separately selected center stone, and none of the ten lists a center diamond as included, so budget for the stone on top. Our 1 carat diamond price guide is a sensible place to start on that half of the spend.
Key takeaways
- •Brilliant Earth's solitaire settings in the 13 October 2026 feed sample ran from $790 to $3,290, with a median of $1,390.
- •14k yellow, white and rose gold all had the same median, $1,190; platinum's was higher at $1,590.
- •The Reverie is listed in 14k rose gold at $1,090 and in 18k white gold at $1,290 with identical text, so the metal is the only listed difference.
- •The Verdure's listing says it can't be resized. If you're guessing the ring size, choose another design.
- •Read every price here as the setting alone, and add the center stone to your budget.
What does a Brilliant Earth solitaire setting cost in each metal?
Choose the metal first. In this sample it sorts the prices more cleanly than anything else. The figures below are medians of the solitaire listings the feed returned on 13 October 2026, split by metal.
| Metal | Median listed price in the sample (13 Oct 2026) |
|---|---|
| 14k yellow gold | $1,190 |
| 14k white gold | $1,190 |
| 14k rose gold | $1,190 |
| 18k yellow gold | $1,390 |
| 18k white gold | $1,390 |
| Platinum | $1,590 |
| All solitaire listings | $1,390 |
The colour of 14k gold doesn't move the median at all: white, yellow and rose landed on the same figure. Both 18k medians match the overall median of $1,390. Platinum was the largest metal group in the sample and also the priciest. Half the platinum listings were at or below $1,590, and that matters further down, because all three platinum rings in this roundup are priced above it.
Torn between the two white metals? The trade-off is general rather than specific to Brilliant Earth. White gold is usually rhodium plated and needs replating over the years to stay bright white; platinum is naturally white and denser. Our platinum vs white gold comparison goes further into wear and upkeep.
How do the ten settings compare side by side?
| Ring | Metal | Listed price (13 Oct 2026) | Band width | What the listing highlights |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Aimee | 14k yellow gold | $790 | 1.4mm | Four bead-tipped prongs, open gallery |
| Reverie | 14k rose gold | $1,090 | 2mm | Split shank, open basket |
| Aire | 14k yellow gold | $1,190 | 2mm | Claw prongs, high-polish finish |
| Reverie | 18k white gold | $1,290 | 2mm | Same listing text as the rose gold Reverie |
| Manon | 18k yellow gold | $1,390 | 2mm | Claw prongs, no accent stones |
| Alice | 14k rose gold | $1,450 | 2mm | Mentions center stone shape options |
| Fleur | 18k white gold | $1,550 | 1.8mm | Bead-tipped, nature-inspired prongs |
| Peyton | Platinum | $1,690 | 3mm | Gallery wire support, rounded interior edge |
| Verdure | Platinum | $2,090 | 2.5mm | Accent diamonds on engraved band, resizing not available |
| Frame | Platinum | $3,290 | 4mm | Split strands, comfort fit, separate center stone |
Most of these sit on a 2mm band with claw prongs and a low profile, so the real decisions happen at the edges. The Aimee and Fleur go finer, the Peyton and Frame go wider, and the Verdure is the only one with diamonds set into the band.
Which solitaires come in below the median?
At $790, the Aimee in 14k yellow gold is the lowest-priced ring in the sample and the most minimal of the ten. Brilliant Earth lists a 1.4mm band, four bead-tipped prongs, an open gallery beneath the stone, and what it calls added band depth to help protect the setting. That 1.4mm is the narrowest band here. As a general rule, a band that slim tends to show wear and can bend sooner than a 2mm one, so if you're hard on your hands, look one step up.

Want some shape in the band without adding stones? Go to the Reverie. Brilliant Earth describes an open basket and a split shank that "tapers toward the center stone", on a 2mm band with claw prongs and a low-profile fit. It appears twice in the sample with word-for-word identical listings: $1,090 in 14k rose gold and $1,290 in 18k white gold. If rose gold suits you, the 14k version is the cheaper way into the same design.

For a textbook plain solitaire in gold, this is where we'd start. The Aire in 14k yellow gold lists at $1,190, exactly the 14k yellow gold median. Its listing is all restraint: a 2mm band, claw prongs that keep metal around the stone to a minimum, a low-profile setting, a high-polish finish, and simple lines that Brilliant Earth says pair easily with wedding bands.

What do you get between the median and platinum?
The 18k yellow gold Manon sits right on the overall sample median at $1,390. On paper it reads a lot like the Aire: 2mm band, claw prongs, low profile, open sides that let light reach the stone. What's listed as different is the metal, 18k rather than 14k, and Brilliant Earth's note that the setting is kept free of accent stones and pairs with a range of wedding bands for everyday stacking.
- metal:
- 18k Yellow Gold

The Alice's listing leads with shape flexibility: Brilliant Earth says it holds a center stone in your preferred shape, "from round to emerald and beyond". Otherwise it's a 2mm high-polish band with claw prongs and a low profile the listing calls snag-free. Price is the catch. At $1,450 in 14k rose gold it sits above the 14k rose gold median of $1,190 and above the rose gold Reverie, and nothing in the listing explains the gap.
Only the Alice and the Frame mention choosing a stone shape. That doesn't mean the others are limited to round; their pages simply don't say. If you're leaning toward a step cut, read our emerald cut solitaire guide before you settle on prongs.

Pick the Fleur if a perfectly plain setting feels too severe. In 18k white gold at $1,550, Brilliant Earth lists a 1.8mm band, four bead-tipped prongs it describes as nature-inspired, a low profile and added band depth. That puts it slimmer than the 2mm group but not as fine as the Aimee.

Are the platinum solitaires worth the step up?
Only if you want what they add. All three are priced above the platinum median of $1,590, so none of them is the cheap way into platinum in this sample. Their listings describe wider bands than the 2mm gold group, gallery wire support on the Peyton and Verdure, and on the Verdure, 14 accent diamonds along an engraved band. The listings don't say how much of the price comes from any of that.
The Peyton, at $1,690, is the sturdy plain option: a 3mm band, claw prongs, gallery wire support beneath the center stone, a rounded interior edge and a polished finish. Brilliant Earth says it's designed to sit with a range of wedding bands. If you want platinum and a plain band with more presence than 2mm, this is the one of the three we'd lean toward.

Go carefully with the Verdure at $2,090. Its listing describes 14 prong-set round diamonds tracing vine and leaf engraving along three-quarters of a 2.5mm band, so this is a solitaire center on an accented band, not a plain one. The same listing also says: "resizing is not available for this ring." If you're planning a surprise proposal and the size is an estimate, that one sentence should take it off your list.
- metal:
- Platinum
- setting:
- prong
The Frame carries the highest price in the sample, $3,290, and the widest band here at 4mm. Brilliant Earth describes two strands that curve apart at the shoulder and rejoin into one band below the stone, four claw prongs, and a low-dome comfort-fit profile. The listing says it takes a separately selected center stone in your choice of shape, so that figure covers the setting alone. Choose it if you want the setting itself to be noticed. If you'd rather the metal disappear behind the diamond, the Aire or Manon is the better call.

What should you confirm with Brilliant Earth before paying?
- What the price covers. Check on the product page whether a center stone is included and what the total comes to once you pick one. The Frame listing says the stone is chosen separately; the others don't say either way.
- Resizing. The Verdure listing says it can't be resized. The other nine don't mention resizing, so ask before ordering if the size is a guess.
- Returns and other policies. Our data doesn't cover the return window or warranty terms, so read the current terms at checkout.
- Metal options. The Reverie appears in two metals at two prices, and other designs may too. The listed price changes with the metal you select.
- Wedding band fit. The Aire, Manon, Peyton and Verdure listings mention pairing with a wedding band. If you'll wear the two together, check which bands Brilliant Earth suggests for that setting.
