Why Round Diamond Engagement Rings Are Perfect for Saying ‘I Do’

Love is endless, much like the perfect circle of a round diamond engagement ring, with its timeless sparkle symbolizing eternal joy. When it comes to choosing an engagement ring for your proposal, diamonds almost always outshine other gemstones. After all, they are rare, formed over billions of years, and breathtakingly beautiful! 

Remember the way your heart skips a beat when your partner walks into a room? That’s the effect diamonds have too. So, what is it about round diamond engagement rings that makes them even more special? Here’s why you should buy a round diamond engagement ring for this memorable moment that marks the start of your new life together.

The Star of Engagement Rings

If you are dreaming of rewriting the stars with an engagement ring, round diamond engagement rings should be your go-to choice. Among all the other diamond shapes like marquise, oval, pear, and princess cut, round diamonds sit at the top of the throne for good reason. 

The round diamond shape carries a deeply symbolic meaning that sets it apart from other diamond cuts. A circle with no beginning or end, represents eternity. This makes the round diamond the perfect symbol for everlasting love. What other shape could better convey a promise of unwavering devotion?

The round brilliant cut features 58 facets, each expertly cut to reflect the maximum amount of light. No other diamond cut offers the same level of brilliance that a round diamond does.

The brilliance of a round diamond is not only about its cut. Most diamond shapes with larger surface areas only create an illusion of brilliance whereas a round diamond shines with its true brilliance, no matter how large or small the carat weight is. This is why the round diamond engagement ring can be rightfully considered the ‘star’ of engagement rings.

The Stories Behind the Sparkle

Every round diamond engagement ring carries its own unique story, but its shape also connects it to a legacy of romance. Historically, the round brilliant cut became popular in the early 20th century when Marcel Tolkowsky mathematically perfected the angles for maximum light reflection. Marcel’s journey into the art of diamond cutting began at just ten years old with his grandfather, Abraham Tolkowsky. 

Whether you come from royal lineage, the glitz of Hollywood, or the heart of New York, the round diamond engagement ring is the classic choice that ladies come to admire as they watch brides get engaged in movies or dream of that special moment themselves. Its timeless beauty and brilliance have made it the ultimate symbol of love and commitment, no matter where you’re from.

Are Round Diamond Engagement Rings a Practical Choice?

One of the best things about round diamond engagement rings is their versatility. They pair beautifully with any setting or metal. This means that you can customize a round diamond engagement ring with any setting or metal. All metal tones, including white gold, yellow gold, rose gold, platinum, and silver, complement round diamonds very well. You can also choose settings such as:

• Halo: Surround the diamond with smaller stones.
• Three-Stone: A great way to symbolize the past, present, and future together as a couple.
• Bezel: A modern-looking frame that protects the diamond.

Beyond this versatility, round diamonds are a great choice for an engagement ring due to their durability. As a result of their symmetrical shape, the chances of chipping are incredibly low.
