The 5 Best Engagement Ring Diamond Shapes

Round brilliant diamonds are the most popular and expensive diamond shape. The round brilliant cut is a good choice for engagement rings, as they reflect light well and look great on all fingers. They also make a great choice for solitaire rings, especially in small sizes, where their brilliance can really shine!

Whether you're looking for the perfect engagement ring or just want to upgrade your old one, knowing the different diamond shapes is a great place to start. Engagement rings are expensive and you don't want to make a mistake on something that will last you a lifetime. Choosing the right diamond shape for your unique situation will help ensure that your investment is used wisely. This guide will give you everything you need to know about these five top diamond shapes: round brilliant, princess cut, cushion cut, radiant cut and emerald cut diamonds!

Round Brilliant Diamonds

Round brilliant diamonds are the most popular choice when it comes to diamond engagement rings. They're also the most expensive and come in a range of price points depending on their size and quality. Round brilliant diamonds are a great choice for an engagement ring because they have a classic, timeless look that makes them ideal for anyone looking for an engagement ring with a little sparkle.

Round brilliant diamonds are also good choices for solitaire rings because they shine more than other shapes, which makes them more eye-catching and visible from far away.

Princess Cut Diamonds

Princess cut diamonds are the most popular diamond shape for engagement rings. They are square in shape with rounded corners, and they have a high light return. This means they sparkle more than other shapes, making them highly sought after by brides looking to make their wedding day extra special. If you're looking for a large diamond that will shine brightly on your finger, this is the shape for you!

Cushion Cut Diamonds

The cushion cut diamond is one of the most classic and versatile diamond shapes. Cushion cut diamonds have their name because their faceting pattern resembles a pillow with perfect symmetry and smooth lines. These qualities make them easy to wear, as there are no sharp edges or corners to catch on clothing when you're wearing your ring!

Cushion cut diamonds can be found in a variety of sizes, from 0.25 carat all the way up to 1 carat or more; if you want a very small cushion-shaped diamond for an engagement ring, then go for something smaller than 0.25 carat (though this will affect how much it costs). For those looking for larger cushion-shaped diamonds, keep in mind that larger ones will cost more per carat than smaller ones—but there are also better deals available when buying large stones because they are less common than small ones.*

Radiant Cut Diamonds

When it comes to diamond cuts, the radiant cut is one of the most popular and best-known. It features a large table that displays an abundance of fire and brilliance. The cut also has 56 facets (the most commonly used number) that create a beautiful pattern on its surface.

Radiant cuts are available in many sizes, from small to large. This means you can choose a more affordable option for an engagement ring or opt for something larger if you have plenty of money to spend on your special lady!

Emerald Cut Diamonds

Emerald cut diamonds are also known as emerald brilliant cut diamonds. A square shape with a square girdle, this diamond shape has rounded corners and cuts at an angle of about 57 degrees. The most popular choices for an emerald cut diamond are the “ideal” length to width ratio that makes the stone look the most balanced and appealing overall, but you can go longer or shorter if you want to change things up a bit.

This is a great shape for those who want the most bang for their buck, and it’s also perfect for anyone who wants an eye-catching yet understated engagement ring.

Finale

There are so many diamond shapes to choose from when it comes to engagement rings, but the five listed above are some of the most popular. They have a beautiful shape that works well with many different types of styles and aesthetics. If you’re looking for an engagement ring that will last a lifetime then I highly recommend these shapes because they will stand out no matter what type of setting it’s in (platinum, white gold or yellow gold).
