Top 100 Popular engagement rings!
Princess cut diamond engagement rings are all the rage these days. And why not? This cut is preferred by those individuals who absolutely love the brilliance and sparkle of the traditional round shaped diamond such as the Brilliant Cut Diamond, but love the look of a square shaped diamonds to reflect those same or similar properties. Even though, until recently the solitaire (round brilliant) was the most popular style for engagement rings, the princess cut diamond proposal rings are fast gaining on them.
Many people are breaking free of the traditional trend of presenting their fiancée with the solitaire and are opting for diamond cuts such as Princess Cut Diamonds, Asscher Cut Diamonds, Emerald Cut Diamonds and many of the other non-traditional cuts. This shape is absolutely exquisite as a solitaire (single stone) or, it can be teamed up with other stones to look absolutely stunning. This shape looks brilliant on any metal – gold, white gold, platinum and even silver, though most people don’t consider silver when buying diamond engagement rings.
The primary reason the price of these jewels are lower is that they contain about eighty percent of the rough diamond, whereas the round brilliant has only about fifty percent of the rough diamond. Since it has a greater weight of the original crystal, diamond cutters also prefer this shape. Additionally, the mixed nature of the design of this jewel makes for a better opportunity to camouflage any imperfections of the mother stone. So that could be another reason why these gemstones come a bit cheaper than the round sparkly cut. In addition, if you set the diamonds along fixed channels, further minor imperfections can be camouflaged. So, you can get a gorgeous ring at a much lower price!
And don’t forget the precious metal and the setting; you can accentuate the beauty of these rings by choosing a solitaire, pave or one of the many other fabulous settings and precious metals. The unique and elegant shape of Princess cut diamond engagement rings makes for a perfect engagement ring, whether it contains a single stone or several others! The best way to showcase the beauty of a Princess Cut Diamond Engagement Ring is by setting it on white gold. Traditionally, gemstones have been combined with silver, sterling silver, platinum or the said lighter color gold because the combination of diamonds on silver metals is breathtaking. The engagement rings yellow gold which we are so used to seeing on so many fingers will always be in vogue. However, because of the popularity of Platinum, the lighter gold is making some strong waves in the jewelry trade.
Combine that with the fact that a Princess Cut Diamond Engagement Ring is going to cost less than a Brilliant Cut, Asscher Cut and less than most of the other diamond shapes but still brings the beauty, and again, you have a winner indeed! Princess cut diamonds are very popular because they are unique in shape and a pretty recent invention of the jewelry engagement rings.
