Round Diamond Engagement Rings

What setting is best for a round diamond ring?

Rounds are the most brilliant diamond shape. Additionally, they tend to look bigger than fancy shapes of the same carat weight because of their symmetry. Because of all this, we recommend keeping it simple with their setting and opting for a solitaire or pave setting.

Is a 4- or 6-prong setting better for a round diamond?

There are two factors to consider when deciding between four or six prongs: aesthetic and carat weight. If you don’t like the appearance of prongs and want something more classic, opt for four prongs. However, if you have a larger round diamond, a six prong setting will always be more secure than a four prong setting.

How many facets does a round brilliant lab-grown diamond have?

The anatomy of a round brilliant lab diamond is the same as that of its natural counterpart and will have 57 or 58 facets that contribute to how it reflects and refracts light. These facets then cause light to bounce from the bottom of the diamond back through the top, giving it an unbelievable brilliance.

What is the ideal carat of a round solitaire engagement ring?

There is no one carat weight that fits every hand. Round brilliants tend to look bigger than fancy shapes of the same carat weight due to their symmetry making it easier to achieve maximum finger coverage at a lower carat weight. Due to this, the “ideal” carat weight for a round solitaire engagement ring is one that sits comfortably on the wearer’s hand.

Can you put a round diamond in a cushion halo?

Yes! Because cushions have soft rounded edges, it makes it easier to fit round diamonds inside. This will effectively make the round diamond look even bigger.
