When looking at the different styles of engagement rings it may seem almost an unlimited number of rings include the same typical cuts for diamonds. There may seem to be many different settings but the diamonds in the engagement rings all tend to be the same in appearance, other than carat size. There are, in reality, several different and less common cuts for diamond engagement rings that may be just what you are looking for.
Besides just the shape and cut of the diamond, engagement rings that feature different types of metals in the band can also make a ring look unique and different. Palladium, platinum and titanium offer a different appearance from standard yellow gold or white gold. Pink or rose gold as well as silver can be a unique band for any engagement ring.
Shapes of the band can also make a ring look very unique. Traditional flatter or rounded narrow bands can be replaced with curving or interlocking bands that draw the eye and add to the overall visual effect of engagement rings.
Heart, oval or round shaped diamonds can be used on an original type of band to make engagement rings less traditional, however changing the shape of the diamond can really make an impact.
One shape of diamond that is becoming very much in demand is found with princess cut diamonds. This cut provides a square shaped cut that is very tapered on the underside. The diamond has many facets on all sides that reflect light back into the center. The detail gives this particular cut a vibrant sparkle that makes even a smaller stone look impressive.
Marquis cut diamonds are not new but are rapidly overtaking some of the more traditional cuts in solitaire styles. The longer, oval shape ending in tapered points can make a smaller diamond look much longer. It is a perfect shape for those with longer, delicate fingers since it conforms to the shape of the hand.
Ascher, princess cut diamonds and Marquis cut diamonds can be stand-alone stones in solitaire engagement rings but they can also be used in three stone engagement rings. The natural shape of both these cuts lends to being bordered on either side with smaller baguette style gems or diamonds. Other shapes that do well in three stone bands and rings include round cut, oval and princess cut diamonds.
Making the choice of between traditional and more unique styles of engagement rings is really a personal preference. Since this is such an important decision looking at a variety of engagement rings before deciding is important now as well as in the future.
