Celebrate Your One-of-a-Kind Love with Unique Engagement Rings

Before you begin your search for the perfect engagement ring that symbolizes your lifetime commitment, learn some background information about cuts, metals, clarity, and colors of different rings. Knowing a few basics about engagement rings will help you make the right choice.

CUTS - AN IMPORTANT FACTOR TO CONSIDER

One of the toughest decisions when it comes to buying unique engagement rings is getting the right cut. There is no such thing as the best cut. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages.

If you aren't sure which cut she would prefer, don't panic. You can narrow down your choices to the ones that suit her personality as long as you know the differences between various types of cuts.

Round

Round stones are very traditional and popular among brides from all over the world. Many people argue that the round cut is the best shape to show off a beautiful diamond because the round shape gives the stone more dimension and depth.

Princess

The princess cut has become increasingly popular in recent year, especially with younger brides who want a classic engagement ring with a small twist. Princess-cut diamonds are square, which makes the stone appear larger than diamonds that have other shapes.

Asscher

Asscher-cut diamonds are also square but wide-cut corners and concentric square patterns make them stand out more than princess-cut or emerald-cut diamonds. The Asscher cut is quickly becoming a favorite among women who like square diamonds but want a rarer alternative to the popular princess cut.

Emerald

Emerald-cut diamonds are rectangular. Because they are similar in shape to a natural diamond, emerald cuts are usually less expensive than other shapes. While emerald-cut diamonds are not as bright as others, they are very elegant and sophisticated. Popular throughout history, emerald engagement rings are perfect for brides who like classic jewelry.

Marquis

Marquis diamonds are cut the same way as round diamonds, but their shape is much more elongated. Brides who are interested in unusual engagement rings love the marquis cut because it's very noticeable due to its unusual shape.

Pear

Pear-cut diamonds have a teardrop shape with the tip thinner on top of the diamond and a wide bottom. While historically not as popular as square or rectangular cuts, the pear cut is well-liked among celebrities and women who want a non-traditional engagement ring.

Gold and silver are both traditional metals, and most women prefer one or the other. It's a good idea to look at your girlfriend's jewelry to find out what kind of metal she likes.

PAY ATTENTION TO THE CLARITY

The clarity of the stone plays a very large role in how an engagement ring looks. Clarity is determined by external blemishes and internal flaws known as inclusions.

Although internal, these flaws can have an impact on the value of the diamond, the way it looks and its durability. Top-grade diamonds are very rare an expensive. A diamond can have a few tiny flaws and still be just as beautiful and long-lasting.

COLOR or COLORLESS

Unique engagement rings are available in a wide variety of colors. Colorless diamonds are the most expensive and also the most traditional choice.

Colored diamonds are not as conventional, but they are becoming more popular as brides all over the world are expressing interest in non-traditional weddings.

The hue of the diamond and its color saturation have a significant impact on its price. Blue diamonds are the top choice among women who prefer attention-grabbing, unique engagement rings.

An engagement ring is a permanent symbol of your love and commitment. Diamond solitaire engagement rings are also much in-vogue nowadays. Remember to consider the cut, clarity, and colors of the diamond as well as the metal used in the ring's band.
