Buying Guide
Round is the shape people search for as round cut, round shape and circle engagement rings, and it earns the position. Its facet pattern scatters light in every direction, which hides small inclusions better than any other outline and makes clarity less visible than carat weight. It has no points or corners to protect, and it sits flush against a straight wedding band, which removes the contour question entirely.
The cost of all that is price per carat. Cutting a round brilliant discards more than half the original rough crystal to reach the proportions that produce its light return, and that waste is priced in — round is the most expensive shape per carat we cut, and it reads smaller on the finger than an elongated stone of the same weight. If size at a fixed budget is the priority, oval or marquise is the honest alternative. Every stone is IGI-certified in D–F colour, VVS–VS clarity and Excellent cut.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a round diamond the safest choice for an engagement ring?
It is the most forgiving. A round brilliant pairs flush with a straight wedding band, has no points to protect, and its facet pattern hides small inclusions better than any other shape. We stock 837 round pieces across the range, more than any other shape. If the recipient’s taste is unknown, round is the least likely to be wrong.
Why is a round brilliant the most expensive shape per carat?
Because it wastes the most rough. Cutting a round brilliant typically discards more than half the original crystal to reach the 57-facet proportions that produce its light return. Every other shape uses the rough more efficiently, which is why the same budget buys more visible carat weight in an oval or an emerald cut.
Which lab grown diamond shape is most popular right now?
Round is still the most requested — 837 of our pieces across the range are round — followed by princess at 204 and emerald at 169. Oval has grown fastest over the last few seasons and now sits at 165 pieces. We would not choose on popularity alone; shape is the one decision on a ring that is purely about taste.
Does the diamond shape affect which wedding band fits?
Yes, more than most people expect. Round and princess solitaires usually sit flush against a straight band. Pear, marquise and low-set ovals often need a contoured or notched band to sit without a gap. We recommend deciding the ring first and matching the band to it, and our team can advise on contour before you order.
What is a good size for an engagement ring?
There is no single right carat weight, but there is a reliable way to choose one: pick the shape first. An elongated cut spreads its weight along the finger, so a 1-carat oval reads close to a 1.2-carat round at the same spend. After that, judge against the hand rather than a number — a narrow finger takes length well and width poorly. Our complete one-carat solitaires start around $1,049.
