Most people when searching for an engagement ring are overwhelmed by the number of choices that they have. Prospective buyers not only have band choices that range from white gold, to gold, to platinum, but they also have a tremendous amount of choices for the diamond. Perhaps the most obvious of these choices is the diamond’s shape. Diamond connoisseurs often talk of a diamond’s brilliance, or in more common terms, how well the diamond sparkles in the light. While the most common cut is most certainly the round brilliant cut, if you’re in the market for engagement rings, we’d strongly suggest that you take a look at radiant cut engagement rings.

A radiant cut is often defined as a cut that tends to have a rectangular shape to it but its cropped corners give it a brilliance level more in line with the traditional round brilliant. It was invented in 1977 by Henry Grossband who was trying to create an emerald cut that still retained the sparkling qualities of a round brilliant. The effect that he created is absolutely outstanding to behold. In fact, out of all the types of cuts available, radiant cut engagement rings are certainly at the top of my recommended list.

Radiant cut engagement rings have an effect that feels both very different and the same. The diamond gemstone shines in ways that just aren’t found with traditional diamond cuts, yet at the same time, its shape is nowhere near as distinctive as some of the more fancy cuts. It’s subtle and quite chic. Although in your engagement ring search you may not have thought about the plethora of rings available, we strongly recommend that you at least see a few radiant cut diamonds. Chances are that you’ll find an impressive quality and allure with this style of diamond cut.

This style of eternity rings are made with a white gold band and usually have a continuous circle of diamonds. The diamonds then form a complete, never-ending circle which symbolizes a love that never tires or ends, but remains with both parties forever and ever. For those looking to add a bit more romance to the ring, it has been suggested that the giver come up with events that each stone on the ring symbolized. For example, one stone might symbolize the first day you met, another might symbolize the wedding, and so forth. If you make each stone represent significant memories and events as a couple, the ring will help you remember the good times, even when the going might get a little tough.

While there’s certainly no law against getting a yellow gold ring or a ring with a different gemstone in it, we tend to find that a white gold diamond eternity ring tends to look the best while, at the same time, not being too pricey. The white gold band is made up of pure elemental gold mixed with some silver and/or palladium. Adding these metals gives the band it’s “white” nature. Most rings are coated with a plate of rhodium for an extra layer of protection. Because of this, many of the white gold rings must be re-plated with rhodium every year or so. Furthermore, as Marilyn Monroe said, “diamond’s are a girl’s best friend”, and in the case of a 14k White Gold Diamond Semi-eternity Ring 1/2ct TDW (G-H, I1), it’s particularly true. The white gold backdrop helps to greatly accentuate the diamonds brilliance and really show off the symbolic aspect of the ring.

Most people looking for an eternity ring will be satisfied with a 14k White Gold Diamond Semi Eternity Ring 1ct TDW(H-I, I1-I2). Not only do they look fantastic but their sentimental value can be incredibly high. In addition, white gold is far more resistant to scratches and other blemishes than regular yellow gold. Naturally, for a ring that symbolizes eternity, it’s important that it last as long as possible. Although eternity rings might seem like a superficial, extravagant purchase, these items can go a long way toward creating the deep, shared experience that is so necessary to a marriage’s survival. For this reason, we recommend purchasing an eternity ring with diamonds and white gold.

The question, of course, for anyone who wishes to purchase these amazing looking rings, is where to find them. Although it might be trivial to say, we strongly suggest looking for these rings at your local jewelery store or a well known online retailer such as Overstock.com. Because of the “uniqueness” of the cut, a lower-end store might not carry these rings. As such, don’t be surprised if you have to pay a pretty penny for these.

You can also find these rings online. A search in your favorite engine for  14k 1 1/4ct TDW White Gold Emerald cut Diamond Engagement Rings (H-I, SI) will bring up many jewelry sites that sell these rings. Due to the lower overheads, many sites can offer name brand rings at less than a local store. Of course, as with anything on the internet, use due discretion before pulling out your wallet and agreeing to pay thousands of dollars for a ring. Ensure that the company is reputable and that you will receive your merchandise. Overstock.com has been around a long time and enjoys an excellent reputation for quality merchandise as well as exceptional customer service.

All in all, finding emerald cut diamond engagement rings isn’t a particularly hard task if you know where to look. As trite as it may seem, going to a local well-known jewelry store or searching some big name merchants online is likely to yield positive results when searching for these rings. These rings, by looking excellent and unique, show a positive outward commitment to what will hopefully be a long, happy, and healthy marriage.
