Illuminate Your Engagement with Round Brilliant Cut Diamond Engagement Rings

Round brilliant cut diamond engagement rings are the very first designs that existed for engagement rings with the roundness symbolising commitment and eternity. However the round cut engagement ring designs have changed, making them still unique in terms of design chosen that is different from the centre setting of the diamond. This diversity has made these round brilliant cut diamond engagement rings still relevant today. Its relevance is related to the cone shape with a rounded top that enhances its fire and brilliance maximizing all its qualities

This design is said to account about seventy five percent of all round brilliant cut rings worldwide. It is a design that is quite loved by its brilliance in revealing the diamond fire. This ring was created by Marcel Tolkowsky who applied his extensive mathematical knowledge to make a shape and cut with the aim of maximizing brilliance and fire of the diamond to its top most limits.

Later on with technological advancements and developments, laser technology and advances in computer modelling developed today’s more round and brilliant cut diamond engagement rings. The ring depicts the preeminent amount of fascinating fire, vividness and light distribution that no other cut can reveal. Inclusive is its 58 dazzling facets with its nature of preserving the original weight of rough diamond. The versatility of this style could explain the prolonged popularity of the round brilliant cut diamond engagement ring.

The round designs are also versatile; you can opt for a large carat design, a small one, a couple of additions wrappings around the band or even as a two or three stone ring. The 4 prong setting is the best as it securely holds the centre stone with the open setting maximizing on the amount of light that can come in the stone. For rings that are over 2 carats, they may need 6 prongs setting; however the 4 prong setting is fitting for most brilliant cut engagement diamonds. We also have the bezel setting that wraps the entire stone around; a common modern style however this blocks a bit of light hence reducing the fire by a certain amount.

The round brilliant cut diamond engagement rings are also perfect for an every day wear as it has no sharp corners that may clip on something. Moreover the centre stone is placed in such a way that it is unlikely to get caught by the hair or even clothes hence reduced chances of breaking or chipping.
