Shape
Cushion cut diamonds are one of the best-selling diamond shapes at Ritani. Often, customers who want to maximize sparkle will choose a higher quality cut, in lieu of a larger carat size.
If you would like to make your cushion cut diamond appear larger, try putting it in a halo setting. The tiny diamonds surrounding your cushion cut will give the illusion of a larger stone as well as add extra sparkle. Or let your cushion cut diamond stand out with a sophisticated solitaire setting.
If you would like a classic square shaped cushion cut diamond, choose a diamond with a length to width ratio of 1.00 to 1.05. An elongated cushion cut diamond will have a length to width ratio of 1.06 to 1.10.
Cushion cut diamonds are a great choice for custom jewelry, such as stud earrings and solitaire pendants.
Ring Style
Derived from vintage rings, halo engagement rings are one of the most popular setting styles at Ritani. One of the most famous halo engagement rings of all time is Kate Middleton's engagement ring, a blue oval-shaped sapphire with a diamond halo. Currently, oval halo engagement rings are trending. Halo engagement ring settings are a great way to add more sparkle to your emerald-cut or Asscher-cut diamond. These diamond shapes don't sparkle much, so a diamond halo will add extra radiance. For extra sparkle, choose a double halo engagement ring.
Metal
Yellow Gold is a very popular choice for engagement rings. It works particularly well with fancy yellow diamonds or diamonds with a low color grade. The yellow metal will complement a yellow diamond very nicely and will mask the sometimes undesirable hue of a low color diamond.
Although yellow gold looks yellow like the color of gold, it is usually mixed with other alloys such as copper and silver, since pure gold is very soft and easily bent or scratched. The purity of gold is measured in karats. 24K (karat) yellow gold is 100% gold, while 18K yellow gold is only 75% gold.
