Those who are searching for the perfect engagement ring know that there is an abundance of designs on the market. Our team comes to your aid with a rundown of the 6 most popular designs of diamond engagement rings.
There are numerous criteria for distinguishing between engagement rings, and in this case we will take into account the shape of the central diamond. The value of an engagement ring lies in the love story behind the piece. Your story is the impulse and the spark of inspiration in choosing your engagement and wedding jewellery. Both the engagement ring and the pair of wedding rings come to complete your love story and speak of your own way of expressing your love.
Engagement ring with a Round central diamond
A Round central diamond tells a story all of its own about the woman who wears that engagement ring. This piece of jewellery is probably the most common and most elegant choice. The simplicity and refinement of the central piece allow a row of diamonds or precious stones to be added all around the central diamond.
Chosen with small supporting diamonds alongside the round central diamond, the ring allows creativity in its design and can describe the wearer's personality according to the colours of the precious stones selected. Yet, chosen in its simple form, the ring with a Round central stone speaks of simplicity, elegance, refinement and class. The ring is a symbol of love, yet it does not draw attention away from the true jewel: the beloved woman who wears the ring.
The Princess-cut diamond – a bold choice
A valuable and impressive piece is the engagement ring with a central Princess-cut diamond. A diamond cut in this shape is a bold choice and is ideal for young women who shine through their personality. This type of ring design has a central stone with a unique cut, in straight lines and a square shape. Unlike Cushion-cut diamonds, the Princess-cut diamond has no rounded corners, allows the piece to sparkle powerfully and looks larger on the wearer's finger.
Alongside the Princess-cut stone we can place smaller diamonds or precious stones. Depending on the size we want for the engagement ring, we have the option of choosing one or even two rows of small diamonds to support and beautify the central piece.
An international institution specialising in precious stones can serve as a guide and inspiration when you choose the precious stones surrounding the central diamond of the engagement ring. We recommend that you visit the GIA website for extensive information about precious stones.
Engagement ring with an Oval central diamond
This type of diamond, oval in shape, adds a touch of elegance to an engagement ring. The result is a superb engagement ring, fine, delicate and of great quality. The stone is beautifully highlighted by the chosen setting method: either a 4-prong setting or one with 6 triangular prongs. The Oval diamond can be supported by other precious stones around it or on the band of the engagement ring.
The Pear-shaped diamond
The cut of this diamond can be likened to the shape of a teardrop. The natural diamonds and the refined design make this type of ring cherished by the young women who wear it. This is truly a remarkable piece of jewellery! The Pear-shaped central diamond is often chosen by Hollywood celebrities.
The Pear-shaped diamond can be worn on a ring made of 18kt white gold or yellow gold. You can read more about choosing the type of gold used for an engagement ring in our article dedicated to this subject by clicking here: The engagement ring – white gold or yellow gold?.
The Heart-shaped central piece – a romantic declaration
The heart is the most popular symbol of love. We come across little hearts as a decorative motif on every object imaginable. So a heart-shaped diamond is only natural. Those who choose classic romance can play it safe with a heart-shaped central diamond for the engagement ring.
It is also worth mentioning that a diamond in this shape has a powerful impact and does not require smaller diamonds to be added along the band of the ring. The heart-shaped diamond is in itself a declaration of love; it conveys thoughtfulness, tenderness and sincerity.
Engagement ring with a Cushion-cut diamond
The engagement ring with a Cushion-shaped central diamond is greatly admired these days. This engagement ring design grew in popularity after the engagement of Prince Harry to Meghan Markle. Princess Meghan wears an engagement ring with a Pear-shaped central diamond and smaller diamonds supporting the central piece on either side. The diamond's shape and the ring's design were carefully chosen by Prince Harry to declare his eternal love for his chosen one.
