There’s a reason the round brilliant is the most popular diamond cut – it’s fabulous. We love round diamond rings, not only because they’re classics, but because they’re so versatile. A round enhances any setting it’s in and can be dropped into virtually any mounting to complete a stunning engagement ring. Bonus points if the diamond in question is GIA certified. A few of today’s sparkling goodies have that distinction, but they all share one trait besides their shape – their beauty!
1.57ct Round Diamond Halo Engagement Ring with Pear Accents
Our first ring is a perfect example of how a round brilliant can anchor an intricate ring without overpowering it or succumbing to all the details. A large 1.57ct round is surrounded by 2.36ctw of pave set in filigreed white gold. The center stone is laser drilled to enhance its appearance, lowering the price of this ring. Even with the pear shaped accent diamonds, it’s still only $10,000.
GIA Platinum 1.76 Carat Round Diamond Engagement Ring
Another take on the round brilliant is simplicity. Moreover, when something is this stunning, just let it shine. A fabulous 1.76ct E colored, VVS1 GIA certified round brilliant sparkles wonderfully in a platinum setting styled after Tiffany’s Lucida setting.
Tacori Platinum 2.22Ctw Diamond Engagement Ring
Of course, why go for designer inspired when you can skip straight to the designer goods? This Tacori engagement ring is so stunning, the picture can’t do it justice. The rainbow fire of the 2.04ct center stone is just gorgeous, and the pave band is the perfect complement.
Vintage Style 1.21 Carat Solitaire Diamond Engagement Ring
For a similar, but more vintage look (and a more budget friendly option) a slightly smaller center stone is just as beautiful. 1.21 carats, this diamond is actually a better color grade, and is just as lovely in a platinum setting.
