Diamond is the most popular choice for engagement rings. It sparkles, lasts forever and is a girl’s best friend. Since ladies tend to wear their Diamond Rings for the rest of their lives, it is important to ensure that the design reflects her tastes and flatters her fingers. There are different designs for diamond engagement rings available today. Some of the things to consider when choosing a design include:

     *     The lady’s design preferences. It is often possible to know what your future fiancee likes by going through her jewelry box. You can even take a picture of her favorite pieces of jewelry and show it to the jeweler. This way, they are able to guide you into making a more informed choice.

     *    The size of the diamond. Some engagement ring designs help to make the diamond more prominent and visible than others. Just because the diamond is small, it does not have to appear so. Instead, it can be showcased in a design such as the solitaire, which sets the diamond high.

     *    Her fingers. A diamond engagement ring can be designed in such a way that it flatters your lady’s fingers and presents them in the best way possible. For instance, if her fingers are short, the princess cut is much more suitable than the round cut because it makes the fingers appear more elongated while the round cut would not have the same effect.

Examples of Designs for Diamond Engagement Rings

1. Cathedral

This is where the diamond is set firmly between the bands extending from either side. The bands are designed to angle up, consequently drawing attention to the diamond. This design is best suited for ladies who lead very active lives as the design provides great protection for the diamond.

2. Colored Stone

For this design of Diamond Rings, other gems are often included so as to add color. Examples of such colored gems include rubies and sapphires. The diamond is usually set in the center with the colored stones complementing it. This design is ideal for ladies who like colorful things and have a unique sense of style.
