Round Cut Engagement Rings

Choosing A Round Engagement Ring

Of every diamond shape, the round brilliant is cut to return the most light, which is why it remains the most chosen center stone. Its symmetry suits every setting style, making a round the safest choice if you are not sure which look she prefers. A solitaire shows the round outline most clearly, a halo or double halo adds size, and a hidden halo adds sparkle from the side. The question of whether a round diamond looks smaller than other shapes has a simple answer. Per carat, a round shows slightly less surface than elongated shapes such as an oval or marquise, and it makes up for that in sparkle, often looking brighter because it returns more light. Choosing a wedding band for a round is equally easy. Nearly every wedding band is designed around round centers, so almost any band will pair beautifully, and matching one later is simple. That flexibility is part of the round's lasting appeal: it works with her style today and leaves every option open for the future. Every Amorati center is lab-grown, E-F color and VS+ clarity, from 1 to 3 carats, so the round you choose arrives with the brightness this shape is known for.
