Hi all,
I am new to the forum so please bear with me if this question is pathetic!
I am looking at engagement rings with my boyfriend, and I like a very simple, clean, modern look. I also like square rings, and have several (steel, silver) ones - square in profile with a round finger hole.
I'd like to get a square platinum ring with rounded corners for comfort, matte finished, with a square or rectangular diamond, set flush to the surface of the ring (gypsy set?) but spanning the entire width of the ring. Which squarish shaped diamond cut would work best?
I understand that the edges of the diamond are covered over by the setting, but on a Radiant or Asscher the corners are cut off. Does that mean the setting has to cover more of the diamond for the edges of the nonexistant corners not to peek out? Does that mean I should get a Princess cut? Is there a rectangular version of a Princess cut? I prefer "more sparkly" (technical term? ) so that appears to rule out Emerald cuts. Right?
Below is a round ring but in the setting style I like.
Hope that works. Thanks!
