When shopping for a diamond engagement ring, the vast selection of diamond shapes can be overwhelming and, frankly, confusing. How can you make a center stone selection without first knowing how the diamond shape compares to similar diamond shapes? Or, what makes each diamond shape unique and covetable?
Along with other 80’s fashion trends such as high waisted jeans, embellished dresses, and neon leggings – marquise diamonds are currently making their comeback. Although the thought of a marquise engagement ring may seem a bit old school, our modern, sleek designs bring an elegant appeal to these antique shaped stones.
Cushion cut diamonds are perhaps the most intricate of all diamond shapes. There are so many variations of cutting style and finding the right cut is crucial when it comes to picking the perfect diamond for your ring! Like all fancy shapes (non-round cut diamonds), the GIA grading report will not specify the actual cut grade of the diamond, so this makes choosing the right one for your engagement ring that much harder. The cut will make all the difference in the appearance of your diamond.
In case you missed our recent snap story we thought it would be cool to recap our cushion cut halo engagement ring comparison post. Imagine this: a 3 carat cushion cut diamond set in a seamless custom halo. Would you believe us if we told you that two 3 carat cushion halo engagement rings can look completely different from a bird’s eye view. It is true! So many factors contribute to the look of a particular ring and just because two rings are 3 carats with cushion halos does not instantaneously mean that they will appear similar.
