Shape
Princess cut diamonds are truly distinctive due to their 90-degree angles and sparkling facets. A modified brilliant cut with a square shape, the emphasis with the princess shape is on bold, modern lines, and lots of brilliance. Princess cut diamonds are a beautiful choice for engagement rings, earrings, and pendants.
Although it was only invented in the 1980s, this diamond cut is one of the most popular choices for engagement rings. For a perfectly square princess cut diamond, choose a diamond with a length to width ratio of 1.00 - 1.05.
The sharp corners of princess cut diamonds are prone to chipping, so choose a setting that will protect the diamond’s corners. To make your princess cut diamond appear larger, choose a halo setting, or let it stand out on its own in a solitaire setting.
Ring Style
Why have one diamond when you can have three? In a three-stone engagement ring, the stones represent your past, present, and future together as a couple. This style is also sometimes referred to as a trilogy engagement ring. The most popular three-stone engagement ring styles are rings with baguette side stones flanking the center diamond or round diamond side stones. Some famous three-stone engagement rings include Meghan Markle's engagement ring, a cushion-cut diamond ring with two round-cut diamonds, and Amal Clooney's engagement ring, an emerald-cut diamond ring with two baguette-cut diamonds.
Metal
White Gold is the most popular choice for engagement rings. It is made by mixing gold with other alloys such as nickel, palladium or silver to give it it's white color. It is available in varying proportions of gold which is measured in karats. 18K white gold is composed of 75% gold and 25% alloy, while 14K white gold has only about 58% gold and is therefore cheaper.
Although white gold is called white, it has a slight yellowish or off white color. Therefore it is coated with rhodium which has a reflective bright white color. Additionally, rhodium is much harder than white gold and will therefore make your ring more scratch resistant. If your white gold ring starts looking slightly yellow, it may be a sign that the rhodium plating is wearing off. But fear not, at Ritani we've got you covered. Just send us in your ring and we'll do the plating free of charge.
