Round, oval, radiant and Asscher-cut diamonds

A round brilliant emphasizes sparkle. An oval has an elongated outline, while a radiant combines a rectangular or square outline with brilliant-style facets. An Asscher cut has a square outline and step-cut facets that create a different pattern of reflections. Compare shape, dimensions, grading report and appearance together rather than choosing by carat weight alone. Our loose diamond guide explains the four Cs.

Compare engagement ring settings

A solitaire highlights the center stone. A halo engagement ring surrounds it with smaller stones. A cathedral setting raises the center setting on arching shoulders, while a split shank divides the band near the center. A bezel surrounds the stone with a metal rim. Tension-style settings require a design suited to the stone and metal; ask about feasibility and availability before choosing one.

For a design built around your preferences, explore our custom engagement ring design service. When you are ready to choose the accompanying ring, compare men's and women's wedding bands for fit, metal and how the two rings sit together.

The Best Engagement Rings in Houston

So, it’s time to buy an engagement ring. Let’s face it, most of us have heard that you should spend two months’ salary on one. What nobody tells you is how many different combinations of settings, diamond quality, and stone cuts there are.

Buying a ring is actually a two-step process. You not only have to pick out a mounting, but you have to choose a diamond as well. Even then there is another factor: Price. Your first decision, even before you look at any rings, is how much you will be spending.

Your diamond ring, however, has lasting value and will always be the enduring symbol of you and your partner’s love, as well as go on to be a family heirloom.

The perfect ring marks the beginning of your life together, and will remain a symbol of your love and commitment to marry for the rest of your lives. And, your diamond ring is something you'll both be proud of... Forever.

Settings

Prong - A setting that uses metal prongs to hold a stone in place while allowing as much light as possible to reflect through the stone.
Bezel - A bezel setting completely hides the edges of the stone to protect it from chips and snags.
Channel - Type of setting often used in mounting many smaller stones of uniform size in a row. Stones are not held by individual prongs but rather continuous strips of metal forming a channel into which are fitted the outer edges of the row of stones.
Pave - A type of setting in which many small stones are set as closely together as possible to appear as an all-diamond surface without any metal showing.

Arrangements

Solitaire - The mounting of a single gemstone. The prong set, round cut solitaire is about the most simple engagement ring style you can get!
Halo - A ring of small diamonds surrounding a center stone, giving it the illusion of greater size and a huge amount of sparkle.
Side-stone - The usage of a few small, often colorful stones as accents for the center stone.
Cluster - An arrangement of several small stones so that they appear as one large center stone.

Cuts

Round - The classic diamond shape, the round cut diamond has been designed to produce as much sparkle as possible.
Fancy - A diamond cut other than round - such as baguette, emerald, marquise, pear, or princess.
Princess - The princess cut has incredible brilliance with its square shape and sharp edges.
Cushion - A square cut with round edges, cushion cut diamonds have great brilliance and a long history that make them perfect for vintage settings.
Baguette - The small, rectangular shaped baguette diamonds are often used to enhance the setting of a larger stone.
Emerald - A rectangular step-cut with cropped corners, the emerald cut diamond has a more subtle sparkle, but shows off its clarity beautifully.
Marquise - An elongated cut with curved sides and pointed ends, the marquise cut slims the finger, and shows great sparkle as well.
Pear - The teardrop shaped pear cut slims fingers and helps a stone to appear larger.
