Couples Diamond

by Alisa Haeften on July 16, 2010

The smart groom-to-be does his research ahead of buying his fiance a diamond ring! You will discover additional styles and cuts to select from than ever ahead of. It is not enough to be educated about the four Cs of diamonds - cut, color, clarity and carats. Now you'll find all kinds of diamond cuts and settings to pick from.

The most popular style is still the round brilliant. It's 1 of the earliest cuts ever developed and now relies on precise mathematical equations to produce a stone with fire and brilliance that the earliest Gem cutters could only have dreamed of.

But quite a few brides want something totally distinctive. You will discover a lot of traditional cuts to decide on from. A pear-shaped is just that - wider at 1 end than the other. Or she can choose an oval, Emerald or heart-shaped diamond. You will find other cuts with unique faceting, for instance the square princess-cut diamond.

Some cuts are patented, like the elongated Ashoka diamond or the Asprey & Garrard Eternal cut diamond. Other branded and patented cuts include:

Elara - a square-cut diamond with rounded corners Asscher - a square diamond with rounded facets that gives an unusual complexity to the diamond Couples diamond - this diamond is faceted to reveal either a circle of hearts or arrows inside. It is a truly unusual diamond that requires precise cutting for the image to appear properly.

The price of a diamond increases exponentially with its carat weight. A one-carat diamond costs much much more than 10 10-point diamonds and a two-carat diamond costs a lot more than twice as much as a one-carat diamond (given equal quality in other areas).

A single way to enhance a ring is with embellishments for example baguettes or trillions. A baguette is a small emerald-shaped diamond that can be placed on either side of the main stones and a trillion is a triangle-shaped diamond that also is a good enhancement to the center stone.
