Thousands of designs are possible for engagement rings, but only a few cuts are used frequently.
An engagement ring is often a simple stone or trio of stones, as it must be safely set, stable when under working conditions, and appropriate looking under many circumstances. 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 round cut is the most common of all stones. 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. Round cuts in what are often called “Tiffany settings” or raised prong settings, are the classic idea of an engagement ring: a single stone floating just above the band of the ring, with maximum exposure of the stone to light. A nice round stone would appear wonderful in a Tiffany setting. A muddy and small stone has nowhere to hide, you know.
The long rectangle often called an emerald cut, as it is very popular for those lush green stones, is another well-loved cut. An emerald cut, though not as flashy as a round cut, has plenty of room to show off a large stone and 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. Prongs will safeguard the corners will solidifying the sides if these linear cuts is correctly mounted.
From a design perspective the cushion cut diamond is extremely flexible, merging well with other stones and balancing the shine and glitter of its round cut with the same dignity and grace of the linear cuts. The stone can be rounded off square or a modest rectangle by softening the corners and curving the sides.
The uneven balance of the form is difficult to use in a stable and simple setting,but a pear cut, or tear drop diamonds are much beautiful. It is difficult to set a solitaire diamond, especially a pear cut stone, setting it wrong can make it look lopsided or off kilter, and the stone can, not match the final wedding ring design. These beautiful gems might be more appropriate for necklaces, earrings, or rings that are designed to work alone rather that together with a wedding ring.
The Marquise, a long eye-shaped cut roughly oval but sharply pointed at each end, is often used in multi-stone rings. A particularly beautiful setting is a central marquise cut diamond or stone surrounded by triangular trillion cut stones.
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. The foundations of most classical engagement ring design can be acquired with a sense of these few cuts.
