Choosing an engagement ring can be overwhelming if you go shopping unprepared, because there are so many decisions to make before you find the "best" engagement ring for your tastes and lifestyle.

You'll see the term ideal cut when you shop for an engagement ring. The term means that the diamond has been cut in a way that makes the best use of its characteristics even though more of the rough stone has to be removed to do it.

Round Diamonds

Round is the most popular diamond shape for engagement rings. Of all the rounds, the round brilliant cut ranks number one.
