1. Round Cut: The Classic Beauty
Round cut diamonds are the most common choice for engagement rings, and for good reason. Rare Carat knows that round cuts provide unmatched brilliance. A round diamond has 58 facets, enabling light to be reflected at many different angles, which is responsible for the incredible sparkle.

2. Princess Cut: Modern and Chic
We at Rare Carat understand that the princess cut is one of the most stylish and modern options for an engagement ring. A princess cut diamond is square in shape and has pointed corners, making it look very bold. Though it has fewer facets than a round cut, it still offers exceptional brilliance. The princess cut is a best alternative if one needs a distinctive and modern look.
Why Choose a Princess Cut?
– Modern and trendy design with pointed edges.
– High level of sparkle attributed to multiple facets.

This diamond possesses the softness of a romantic look, while fusing the brilliance of round cut diamonds with a square shape which makes it softer around the corners. Cushion cuts are popular with vintage inspired engagement rings since they do lack the sparkle of round cuts, but make up for it with their unique charm.
Why choose a cushion cut?

– Smooth and squared edges give a softer touch.
– Best Value for money for vintage style rings.

If you’re on the lookout for a diamond that has the appearance of being bigger than it actually is, you can never go wrong with an oval-cut diamond. The elongation of the oval shape gives a deceptive appearance of a bigger diamond. Like round cuts, this shape also offers brilliance but gives it a more contemporary feel. It is best suited for those who appreciate grace and elegance.
Why Choose an Oval Cut?

– It offers the same brilliance as round cuts.
– Perfect for someone with a modern yet elegant style.

Unlike other shapes, this style pays more attention to clarity than to brilliance making it great for minimalist or vintage engagement rings.
Why choose an emerald cut?

– Ideal for lovers of simplicity; emits less brilliance.
– Could perfectly fit a vintage or minimalist style ring.
