It’s hard to beat 5 carat diamond rings for the sheer brilliance, the stunning amount of space they occupy on your finger, and their affordable price tag. If you’re shopping for a 5 carat diamond ring, remember the 4 C’s, but bear in mind that these considerations are even more critical when the stone is that large. It’s also worth noting that 5 carat diamond rings are usually an improvement over the original engagement ring that was given to the woman. A 5 carat diamond ring is a meaningful symbol of your everlasting love, and your partner’s input should be considered when making this important decision.

The most popular shapes of 5 carat diamonds are discussed below, as well as advice on how to go about purchasing each shape of 5 carat diamond you come across.. The size, sparkle, and shape of these 5 carat diamond engagement rings are unmatched, making them ideal for any special person in your life.

5 carat oval cut diamonds are no exception to this trend, which has been going on for a few years now. The elongated shape of oval-cut diamonds complements the majority of engagement ring settings. More space will be needed on the hand when wearing an oval cut diamond ring weighing 5 carats. The carat weight of a diamond is the most important consideration when looking for a 5 carat oval cut diamond ring. Because of the large size of the oval cut diamond, the warmth of a lower color diamond will be more apparent. If you’re looking to buy a 5 carat oval diamond, we recommend going with a color grade of H or higher.

In recent years, Emerald Cut Diamonds have overtaken oval cut diamonds as the most popular shape. The flash of sparkle from a 5 carat diamond ring with an emerald cut diamond is sure to draw attention. Because emerald cut diamonds do not retain their color, they are less desirable than oval-cut diamonds. Your 5 carat emerald cut diamond should have clarity as your second priority after carat weight because you will be able to see any inclusion in a diamond that large. Although 5 carat emerald cut diamonds look stunning in solitaire, three-stone, and micropave engagement ring settings, most settings will work well with your diamond. A 5 carat diamond ring with an emerald cut diamond is another shape that can be worn on any hand. The elongated shape will look elegant and take up more room on the hand if you choose an Emerald cut diamond with a length to width ratio of 1.35 or higher.

Cushion cut diamonds are next on our list! With their square pillowy shape and large sparkle, 5 carat cushion cut diamonds are popular. One of the most versatile shapes of 5 carat diamonds, they look stunning in any style of engagement ring. Similar to their oval diamond counterpart 5 carat cushion-cut stones will retain color. For a 5 carat cushion cut diamond, we suggest focusing on color rather than carat weight first, and aiming for a color grade of H or higher. For a 5 carat diamond ring, we also recommend an elongated cushion cut diamond. Longer cushion cuts have a width-to-length ratio of 1.15 or higher. This will allow for a more slender looking 5 carat diamond ring that will fit the hand well.

A 5 carat pear-shaped diamond is an excellent alternative. Diamonds in the shape of a 5 carat pear are a popular choice for those who want a vintage fancy shape with all the sparkle. The color of pear shapes tends to cling to them, so we recommend putting it in second place. An eye-clean diamond is recommended because of the faceting on a pear shape diamond. Pear-shaped diamonds take up the most space on the hand compared to other diamond shapes when you buy a 5 carat diamond ring with this shape. 5 carat pear-shaped diamonds look stunning in halo, three-stone, or micropave settings.

The classic 5 carat round cut diamond is last but not least on our list. In the 5 carat range, round-cut diamonds will last a lifetime. Color and imperfections in a round-cut diamond are more easily concealed because of the diamond’s intricate faceting, but due to the large size of these diamonds, we recommend keeping color and clarity in the mid-range. Diamonds with a carat weight of five carats or more have the most brilliance and can be used in any style of engagement ring setting. Most people’s hands and personal styles look good wearing 5 carat diamond rings with a round cut center diamond. They can either be bold and outspoken, or subtle and delicate, depending on the setting.

As a whole, 5 carat diamond rings stand out from the crowd due to their opulent size and brilliant radiance. For a wide range of occasions, they are an excellent choice and can be worn by anyone with any hand shape or style. 5 carat diamond rings are ideal for engagement rings, anniversary rings, and milestone celebrations. If you want to get the most out of your 5 carat diamond ring, keep these guidelines in mind as you shop for it.

Bought a beautiful stone here for an engagement ring. I was a little apprehensive since you’re buying something unseen. But Cid made it easy. In fact, Nissan, the owner also gave a call to make me more comfortable. They sent me the stone to take to a local jeweler with only my Amex in case I bailed on them.
