Antique styles and cuts are making a resurgence in this year's nostalgia boom. The Victorian three-stone ring has enjoyed a renaissance in recent years. The three stones represent your past, present and future.
An increasing number of brides are adding a splash of color to their engagement ring — either through colored gem side stones or an alternative gem to a diamond as the center stone. Choose your favorite and don't forget about two-tone looks.
"Let's talk about the perfect diamond. Experts believe that the cut is the most critical of the 4Cs. The highest rating for cut is Ideal, followed by Very Good, Good, Fair and Poor. A diamond with a Poor cut, even if it has perfect clarity and color, will still appear dull, while an Ideal cut, regardless of shape, offers the greatest brilliance."
