As far as we’ve touched the topic of diamond cuts starting with the noble emerald one, it would be right to focus on most popular shape that is, by the way, the #1 choice for diamond engagement rings. This is the round cut.

The reason why round cut is so appealing is that due to numerous facets it’s able to give most sparkle you won’t find in other shapes. What is more, ‘the larger the better’ is not the rule with round cut. The thing is the smaller gems are more sparkling, that is why even ¾ and ½ carat diamond engagement rings look extremely brilliant. Have a look at some:

Now it’s clear why ladies love to be proposed with diamond rings, it’s simply hard to reject such a beauty.

However, with a wide range of merits there is one minus concerning this cut – the price. Round brilliant diamonds are mostly of higher price than any other as far as they need a larger raw stone to be cut in a proper way. So you should be ready to spend more for it. But the price tag is not a problem with man made diamonds, which are known to be less expensive. It especially concerns colored diamond rings. Here is the proof:

14K yellow gold, 14K white gold, 3/4 carat, $1965

14K white gold, 1/2 carat, $2930

14K white gold, 1/2 carat, $1265
