What Are Newest Designs For Diamond Engagement Rings?
Brought to you by radiant cut diamond solitaire rings.
Thousands of designs are possible for engagement rings, but only a few cuts are used frequently.
An engagement ring must look appropriate and be sturdy, so it is often a simply set stone or up to three stones embellished with pave chips. Our setting are completely secure, regardless of how simple or ornate of a setting you wish for your dream design. Rest assured, even in a simple setting we have safely secured your stone to safeguard against accidents.
The most common stone of all is the round cut. Just what it sounds like, the round cut is considered by many jewelers the brightest cut with the very best fire, taking full advantage of every facet of the stone. An engagement ring, in the classic idea, is a single round stone in a “Tiffany setting”. “Tiffany settings” consist of raised prongs that are set a bit higher than the ring band. This floating stone allows the stone to receive the maximum amount of light. A nice round stone would appear wonderful in a Tiffany setting. There are few places to hide a small, muddy, stone.
Another very popular cut is the emerald cut, so named for the stone which is often cut into long, faceted rectangles as well. Less flashy than the round cut, but with great dignity and plenty of room to show off a large stone, an emerald cut provides an unusual and exceptionally stately option. A square cut stone, the Princess cut, is also able to securely give a stable, cube, look with fair fire. If mounted correctly these linear cuts can be very safe because of prongs on the corners and protecting the side.
Cushion cut diamonds have the shine and beauty of round cut diamonds but also the grace of linear cuts, making them very diverse. A cushion cut stone is a rounded off square or modest rectangle with the corners softened and the sides slightly curved.
Pear cut, or tear drop diamonds are too beautiful, but the uneven balance of the form is more difficult to utilize in a stable and ordinary setting. A solitary stone unless placed in a very carefully designed setting can look lopsided and out of balance — and many of the design choices that can make a pear cut diamond a delight do not mesh well with the hoped for eventual wedding ring. You can keep these stones for earrings, necklaces or rings of a special nature and not for the wedding band.
One cut, known as the Marquise is typically cut in an oval shape, however, unlike a typical oval, the Marquise is sharply pointed on the ends. The Marquise is often used in rings with multiple stones. Choosing a central Marquise flanked by triangular trillion cut stones produces a stunning, more elaborate design.
There are other stones, but these are the most beloved and standard stones of the industry, found in many beautiful combinations in many stunning settings. With a sense of these diamond cuts you have a foundation of a most classical design of your ring.
