Cushion cut engagement rings are set with beautiful oval shaped diamonds which have tops that resemble a plump pillow or cushion.  This type of diamond cut has been around for over 150 years and is thought to be one of the most romantic looking diamond cuts ever created because of it’s soft, rounded look.  Cushion cut diamonds often look beautiful when placed in art deco ring settings, which often have rounded arcs and fan shapes incorporated into their design.  A high quality diamond is required for a cushion cut stone.  This is because the large facets on it act like windows into the interior of the stone, so inclusions can easily be seen.

Another beautiful vintage engagement ring style you may want to take a look at is Asscher cut engagement rings.  These beautiful rings have stones which resemble an inverted, four-sided pyramid, with steps descending into the stone on all four sides.  The corners are notched out, so Asscher cut diamonds actually have eight sides on them.  They are most often set with four prongs, and look best in a simple setting which does not detract from the unique cut of the stone.  These rings also require a very good quality diamond, because this cut also incorporates large facets into its design.

When it comes time to shop and you have decided that the vintage engagement rings are your style, two great choices to start with are cushion cut engagement rings and Asscher cut engagement rings; one of them is sure to be the perfect engagement ring for you.

However, fashion, trends keep changing and in the last few years people have seen an increased interest in fancy diamonds and different colors; these beautiful stones have found an important place in the imagination of the diamond market, and yellow diamond engagement rings are also becoming very popular. I must say that though colored diamonds look fabulous, the yellow diamond engagement ring has its own unique brilliance.

So, let’s first look at the actual diamond, and then we can move on to talk about the ring setup. Yellow stones come in various shades of yellow; strong color and the color change affects the price of the stone, such as a diamond with very strong yellow color (intense and vivid) will be much more expensive than the pale colored one. Some of them known as yellow canary diamonds will be even more expensive. A yellow stone with shades of brown would be cheaper than the orange-yellow shaded stone, and an orange and yellow one will cost more than a pure yellow diamond. Choose your stone to fit your budget. As mentioned above, any yellow diamond will look fantastic, as soon as it has the right setting. Cubic zirconia rings and cubic zirconia wedding sets are great options.

Now let’s get to the settings. Search around and make a decision on your preferences regarding the installation and the color and type of metal you would prefer, however, take into account that the tiny border of metal, which has direct contact with the diamond should be of yellow gold. This small yellow border around the yellow diamond improves its color and, of course, will definitely make your diamond appear much larger than it actually is.
