Round cut diamonds, tend to look bigger as it is physically bigger than other diamond cuts. In a round cut you will be able to see more crown and therefore it is said to look about 10 percent bigger than famous princess cut. Carat is the weight of a diamond and has nothing to do with the size and shape of the diamonds. For example, if we compare the mm sizes of 1.5-carat diamonds, the diameter of a round cut will be 7.4mm, which is the biggest of all cuts. Same for 3 carat diamonds diameter of the round cut is 9.5 mm. Similarly, marquise, pear and oval cuts also tend to make the diamond look bigger. Round cut diamond is the most popular diamond shape in the world. However, certain characteristics, especially that of the size to weight ratio of emerald cut is similar to round cuts and that is why we get to see many people opting for emerald cut engagement rings.

The size and brilliance of a diamond are influenced greatly by the diamond cut and therefore it is important to ensure that we pick the diamonds cut well suited for the type of jewelry you intend to buy. For example, antique engagement rings are becoming popular in recent years and the preferred diamond cut for such engagement rings is the round cut.

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.
