People prefer bigger
diamonds, and these days, technology allows us to cherry
pick from millions of
designs and themes to find the one perfect
ring for an
engagement proposal. Whatever else has changed in the form of trends with
diamond rings, the fact still remains that the
center stone of a
1 carat diamond gold ring is preferably kept large.
This does not have to do with just vanity. It has actually been proven that the proportions of a
diamond ring will look better as you bring up its
size.
Which Shape Looks the Biggest?
The three classic
shapes that people tend to choose from when they are not decided on what to buy, are the
oval, the
round brilliant, and the
cushion. Among these, the oval looks biggest from the top, with the
carat size being equal among all the
shapes.
Ovals are found to be very
color sensitive, and if you get a
stone of
color J or under, you will notice a slight
color on the widest edges. The problem with
oval is that it does not have uniform
color, and the difference in
color from the
center to the edge is very visible. If you want a white looking
diamond, you should consider getting I or higher.
