Diamonds; celebrated as a girl’s best friend, are the most popular choice for an engagement ring. However, choosing the perfect shape and setting as well as the choice of gold colour (from rose, white, yellow gold and plated gold to platinum) to match your beloved’s taste can be daunting. Rest assured, during your consultations with DINIDU, their team of GIA-certified gemmologists will carefully guide you through every step of the process. Here’s a showcase of the most popular diamond shapes, expertly incorporated into engagement rings by DINIDU.
The Round Brilliant Diamond: A Timeless Classic
Like a first love, the round brilliant diamond is an enduring classic. With 57 to 58 meticulously crafted facets, it maximises the flow of light, creating the most breathtaking display of brilliance. From classic solitaires, and centre diamonds with diamond halos to three-stone settings, the round brilliant diamond is the perfect choice for the traditionalist at heart.
The Princess Shape: A Modern Marvel
The princess shaped diamond offers a contemporary edge for the modern and discerning couple. Its square form, with sharp, pointed corners, embodies a sense of strength and individuality. This geometric cut is beautifully seen in the Lavinia Diamonds and Platinum Ring by DINIDU, reflecting the flow of light to create a dazzling spectacle that perfectly complements your bold and confident love story.
The Cushion Shape: A Vintage Romance
If your love story is steeped in the whispered romance of bygone eras, the cushion shaped diamond is your ideal choice. With its softly rounded corners, reminiscent of a pillow, this vintage-inspired cut exudes an uncommon grandiose, like the Versailles Diamonds and White Gold Ring by DINIDU. Its unique blend of brilliance and scintillation creates a captivating display, reminiscent of the love stories of the kings and queens of old.
The Emerald Shape: A Hall of Mirrors
For the couple who appreciates understated elegance and a touch of mystery, the emerald cut is an exquisite choice as seen in the Colette Emerald Diamond Yellow Gold Ring by DINIDU. Its fine rectangular shape, with step cuts that create a mesmerising ‘hall of mirrors’ effect, reflects light in a way that highlights the diamond’s inherent beauty.
The Oval Shape: Elongated Elegance
The oval shaped diamond with its extended round outline offers a flattering and feminine silhouette radiating an exceptional brilliance. This elegant shape as seen in the Julianne Oval Diamond Yellow Gold Ring by DINIDU symbolises a love that is both unique and captivating, much like the bond you share with your Valentine.
The Pear Shape: A Teardrop of Joy
The pear shaped diamond, with its delicate teardrop form, is a symbol of tears of joy and love that flow evermore. Combining the brilliance of a round diamond with the elegance of a marquise, this unique shape offers a soft and romantic appeal like the Artemis Diamonds and Halo Platinum Ring by DINIDU.
Embracing Coloured Gemstone Engagement Rings
Beyond the classic diamond, coloured gemstones are increasingly gracing engagement rings, offering a vibrant and personalised touch. While diamonds remain a timeless classic, many couples are now seeking engagement rings that reflect their unique bond and deviate from traditional norms. Coloured gemstones offer a vibrant spectrum of hues, allowing couples to choose a gem that resonates with their personal story. Beyond aesthetics, coloured gemstones often carry symbolic weight, representing qualities such as loyalty and fidelity (blue sapphires), hope and new beginnings (green emeralds), and passion and love (red rubies). With engagement rings now expanding their canvas for personal storytelling, DINIDU is your definite choice to craft a bespoke ring that possesses life-long value and is destined to become a heirloom that forever preserves your love story.
