According to Wikipedia, an engagement ring is a ring indicating that the person wearing it is engaged to be married, especially in Western cultures. Obviously, this has extended to other parts of the world too.
Here are 8 engagement ring cuts that will make your Queen elated.
1. Heart Cut
A heart-shaped diamond resembles its name, so the diamond is in the shape of a literal heart. This particular cut speaks volumes as it is an impeccable symbol of love.
2. Emerald Cut
An emerald cut (originally developed for the gem of the same name) is rectangular with cropped corners and long, stair-step-like facets. It exudes elegance and refinement.
3. Marquise Cut
The marquise is an oval with pointed ends. This also depicts elegance.
4. Asscher Cut
An asscher is similar to an emerald cut, but square, so it looks octagonal (the radiant is a popular variation of these but with facets that give it even greater sparkle). If your girl has a thing for antiques then the asscher cut is just for her.
5. Round Cut
One of the most popular cuts for an engagement ring, the round cut is also a classic diamond shape. A round stone with 58 facets, it has the most sparkle.
6. Oval Cut
The oval shape, which first began appearing in the Sixties, visually elongates the fingers and is completely unique.
7. Pear Cut
A pear-cut diamond also resembles its name. An added bonus to the pear shape is that if you wear it with the point facing away from your body, it makes your finger look long and slender.
8. Cushion Cut
The cushion cut is a cross between a rectangle and an oval; it has a pillow shape, and it is also called an “antique cut.
Any of these rings are sure to give your significant other instant goose bumps!
