Diamond Engagement Rings
An engagement ring, that small, precious thing many will wear every day for the rest of their lives, carries a lot of emotional weight. It symbolizes a couple’s love and commitment to the world. It shares their history, and their hopes and dreams. And then there’s the cost: according to The Knot 2016 Real Weddings Study, consumers in the market for diamond engagement rings spent an average of $6163.00 in 2016.
It’s no wonder that you may view the task of buying an engagement ring with apprehension. Luckily, if you’re the one buying the ring, you don’t have to make this purchase alone!

Diamond Cuts
Round cut diamonds exhibit the brilliance of a stone by reflecting the most light. Perhaps this is why round cut is among the most popular classic styles for engagement rings. They are also incredibly versatile: this shape will fit into nearly every type of setting. In fact, if you have an old family ring it’s diamond is probably round cut.
Marquise cut is a unique style that rose in popularity in the 1980s, and is seeing a comeback. Marquise cut diamonds are almond-shaped, and can be set either vertically or horizontally. They can be placed in a variety of settings, and look beautiful with jewels set on either side.
Princess cut diamonds are square-cut and can look either classic or modern. They can sit alone or in a setting with other stones.
