What does your diamond ring cut say about you?
Do you have a signature style that’s reflective of your personality? Is your diamond ring an accurate reflection of that style? Whether you’re anticipating an engagement, preparing to celebrate your diamond anniversary or somewhere in between, it bears considering how well your most significant gemstone reflects your unique identity. Here’s an overview of popular diamond cuts and the personalities best suited to each.
Round cut
The traditional round-cut diamond is the most popular choice for engagement rings. Sometimes referred to as “round brilliant,” this classic cut is evocative of timeless beauty and eternal sparkle. If you enjoy down-to-earth yet sophisticated beauty, your round-cut diamond is an accurate reflection of your character as it is also a valuable investment piece. For a 104 facets stunning round-cut engagement ring that’ll never lose its lustre, try on this Blossom solitaire in 14-karat white gold.
Oval cut
A subtle twist on the classic round shape, the oval diamond can give the illusion of a larger stone. If you’re working within budget constraints, the oval-cut diamond can give more shine at a more affordable price than the round-cut. An elegant cut with a modern twist chosen by many celebrities if you are drawn to that cut, you are probably a stylish fashionista. If you enjoy flair but want to make an ethical investment, this lab-grown oval solitaire in white gold combines affordability with sustainability.
Emerald cut
This confident cut evokes images of period dramas and old Hollywood glamour with a very high shine due to 58 facets cut in the diamond. The thinner more elongated version of this cut called a “baguette” is evocative of vintage rings from the art deco movement. Do you appreciate the character and personality of antiques and know the story behind each of your treasured collectibles? Wearing an ornate piece like this Diamond Revelations 14K White Gold 0.70CTW Halo Emerald Bridal Ring will give you a sense of connection with the past.
Princess cut
Expressive of an aspirational elegance, this regally understated diamond offers the traditional appeal of round-cut pieces but with a modern edge. If you’re considered the hopeless romantic of your friend group, you’ll likely gravitate toward a princess-cut diamond engagement ring. For a sense of home-grown royalty, try this 14-karat white gold princess-cut solitaire from Glacier Fire featuring a lovely Canadian-mined diamond.
