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.
Bands can also be different shapes, although many engagement rings feature a relatively simple flat or round band. Other options can include curved bands, bands that interlock with the wedding ring or bands that are uniquely shaped as a combination engagement and wedding style set.
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 very popular and beautiful option is the use of princess cut diamonds in the ring setting. Princess cut is square when viewed from the top but it is triangular in shape from the side. This allows lots of facets for light reflection within the ring, adding flash and color to the ring.
For women that have longer fingers engagement rings that flow with the length of the hand is very flattering. A marquis cut diamond does just that as it is a very elongated oval with two pointed ends. This is an outstanding shape to make a smaller diamond look larger or to add an original look to a more traditional ring band.
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.
Before shopping for engagement rings it is important to look at the options you have. Comparing engagement rings with regards to diamond shape, bands and appearance will help you select the perfect ring.
