3 Carat Engagement Rings
Big engagement rings are becoming more and more common these days. Americans have a tendency to think bigger is better (i.e. mcmansions, SUVs,, etc.) and engagement rings are no different.
If you want the look of a large diamond but can’t quite afford the price, here are a few tips:
Avoid buying round diamonds. While they are the most brilliant of all the shapes, they also tend to look the smallest. Oval and marquise shapes tend to look larger then their round shaped diamond equals as they are longer, creating an illusion of greater size.
A bezel setting is a good choice for making a diamond look larger. A bezel setting is where the diamond has precious metal wrapped around it, emphasizing the circumference.
Also, tiny accent side-stones that surround a center stone, can accentuate the center diamond.
Consider a 3 stone engagement ring versus a solitaire. A 3 stone engagement ring can add up to the weight of a solitaire, look just as large and in charge, but cost much less. This is because larger diamonds are more rare and therefore cost more than smaller diamonds which add up to the same carat weight.

In truth, despite the beautiful 10 carats, his proposal was a bit of, excuse the pun here, a washout. Apparently, they both had streaming head colds and the proposal was made between great bouts of nose running and nose blowing. How romantic! There are some things that money just can’t buy!
one of Catherine’s favourite possessions is her 10 carat antique diamond vintage engagement ring and it reminds us of the time when Liz Taylor caused her buzz with her vintage engagement ring, now affectionately known as the Taylor-Burton diamond.
One of the hottest trends with a vintage engagement ring now is antique cut diamonds, such as the cushion-cut. Also known as the “pillow cut,” it’s the kind of engagement diamond worn famously by singer Leann Rimes. Very popular last century, cushion-cut diamonds have rounded corners and larger facets to increase their brilliance under candlelight.
A beautiful thing about vintage styles is that they match perfectly with not only antique diamond cuts, but also the round brilliant cut (the most popular of all diamond cuts), and fancy cuts, such as the heart.
