Diamond Rings- Get Acquainted With Their Various Shapes And Styles

A number of factors are taken in to consideration while determining the style of Diamond Rings. The band, setting and gemstone are the three main factors which are looked upon to determine the style of a diamond. The cut of the gemstone also has a major role to play on the aesthetic appeal of a ring. Better knowledge of the factors will certainly help you to get the best out of a ring and make your partner happy. 

You can look for different types of rings like the eternity rings, solitaire, cluster rings, 3 stoned etc. But when choosing any of these rings, buyers must take all the mentioned factors into account to avail the best deal.

The band of Diamond Rings is the circular part that sits round on your finger. Bands are generally made of three major metals; they are silver, gold and platinum. Alloys are put in use especially with gold since it is not that strong when it stands alone. You can buy silver, gold, white gold or platinum engagement rings deciding on the metallic properties of the band. Band is a vital factor that determines and shapes the style of a ring; hence it is very important to choose a band carefully.

Setting is the process of placing the diamond or gemstone on a band. It can be either pronged or invisible. Different metal or alloy can be used while setting over a band. It is one of the most popular styles and it brings out the contrast and makes the gemstone even more prominent. The number of gemstones to be placed on the band is decided by the setting of the band. For instance, if the setting is large then it is used to place three stone diamond engagement or eternity rings.  

 

 
When we talk about the style of the gemstone, we must firstly understand that this is most importantly determined by its cut and not by its shape.  We can’t refer the cut of a diamond as its shape rather it is the symmetry polish and proportionality. The term symmetry refers to the alignment of the facets of a diamond. If the facets are aligned poorly then they are likely to misdirect light entering and exiting a diamond, thus this will give a less than luminous look to the engagement diamond rings. The smoothness refers to the polished facets of a diamond. Polished properly will reduce the need of cleaning the diamond all the time.

The shape of the diamond is always very important since it echoes with the style and what looks better on the wearer. The round brilliant cut diamond is the most common and classic shape opted extensively by the couples. This shape with properly aligned facets means it sparkles and shines brilliantly than any other style.  Other shapes of diamond that deserve mention are emerald, asker and cushion. Diamond eternity rings with these cuts are very popular in London, UK and worldwide.
