After wearing this into engagement rings, your finger will appear slimmer and longer.
3. Pear Shaped Diamonds

Pear shaped diamond engagement rings come in variety of slim to wide cuts. Ideally they have an excellent symmetry.
4. Trilliant Diamonds
Trilliant cut diamonds are often used as focal stones. At the same time they make a lovely addition when set on each side of a centre diamond. The diamond in the ring looks like it weighs more than its true carat weight.
5. Fancy Colour Radiant Cut Diamonds
Radiant cut diamond is a passionate, fancy coloured yellow stone. This radiant cut diamond is squarer shaped than rectangular and is another illustration of the differences often seen in diamond proportions. Triangular diamonds are used on either side to highlight the focal diamond.
Before making the final decision, take some time and shop around. Look for variety of options available in diamonds. If you are selecting the ring after your proposal, your better-half will have fun trying different types of rings and decide which looks perfect on her little fingers and suits her personality the best.
