Diamond Cuts

The cut of a diamond refers to the shape of the stone once it has been carved and polished. Different cuts are prized for the different ways they can display a diamond's sparkle and the style impact. The shape of a diamond determines the overall effect of a jewelry piece. The most popular diamond for a solitaire engagement ring is the brilliant cut, also known as a round-cut diamond. The many different planes and angles in this cut offer a lot of sparkle with a classic, simple design. Rare Carat diamonds have over a million available diamonds from a range of certified retailers, and over half of the diamonds available are round cut. If you are looking for a wide choice of carats, clarity, and colors, the round cut will offer a wide range of options.

Princess Cut Diamonds

The princess-cut diamond offers a modern and sleek alternative to the traditional round-cut diamond. A princess cut is essentially a square-shaped diamond, with a square flat surface that tapers towards the four corners. The angles and facets achieved by a princess cut generate a beautiful sparkle for those who want something a little different. Rare Carat princess cut diamonds are available as loose stones, or complete engagement rings and make for a show-stopping piece. As a more modern style of diamond, princess-cut diamonds match particularly well with platinum or white gold bands. The simplicity of the princess cut diamond also makes a diamond-shouldered band a stunning option for a little extra luxury and sparkle. The princess-cut diamond can be positioned square within the ring, or at an angle to create an even more distinctive look. On an angle, a ring set with a twist or crossover design can complement the modern shape. A princess-cut engagement ring is also a versatile option for pairing with a wide range of wedding bands.

Things to Consider
