Choosing the Perfect Engagement Ring
Whether you’re shopping for the perfect engagement ring to give your soon-to-be fiance or considering your options together, many factors go into choosing the ideal option.
Cut
The cut of the diamond is perhaps the single most important thing to think about. As you can see from the selections above, diamond shapes, brilliance, and style can vary greatly. However, it goes beyond physical beauty and inner fire. A marquise cut stone is one of the most beautiful, but it can also help slenderize your hand. An Asscher-cut diamond evokes the Art Deco movement and offers clean, modern lines while speaking volumes about your personal sense of style.
Metal
The metal you choose also makes a difference. Yellow gold is classic and warm. White gold is elegant and cool. Rose gold is warm and unique, while two-tone yellow or rose gold adds visual contrast and stands out from the crowd.
Setting
Should you go with a classic and simple solitaire? Would a halo or double halo be better? The setting you choose should flatter the hand first and accent the main stone second. Sometimes, less is more, such as in the case of a classic solitaire setting, but sometimes a halo or bezel can add an extra touch of beauty.
