Choose a Diamond Shape:
Round
Shape is the most important consideration when purchasing a diamond. If you're not sure which one to choose, it may help to know that round diamonds. Three-quarters of all diamond purchases are round brilliants, due to its incredible brilliance, and light performance, which offer maximum sparkle.
Fancy Shapes
Princess diamonds have an angular, modern elegance that looks stunning in traditional and geometric settings. They are the second most popular diamond shape because they have the brilliance of a round brilliant diamond but are less expensive. Diamonds with a rectangular form, like radiants, are a magnificent alternative to princess and cushion diamonds for individuals who desire a vintage-inspired setting. For a sleek and elegant look, step-cut asscher and emerald diamonds are used. While they don't have as much radiance as round diamonds, their transparency makes up for this. Because of their elongated appearance and distinctive shape, the Marquise, Oval, and Pear-shaped diamonds make fingers appear longer and thinner. Diamonds in the shape of hearts convey your feelings with flair and are popular among romantics. Diamonds cut into marquise or pear shapes can give the impression of greater size since more of the stone is visible when viewed from the top (looking down on the diamond).

Select Your Size
The size and quality of your gem are the final two things to take into account. Choose between size and quality, or make a compromise between the two, when it comes to finding the right diamond within your budget. When it comes to diamonds, size is often the first thing people look at. Although a carat is an accurate measurement of weight, it's commonly used as an approximation for diamond size. The measurements of a diamond might be another helpful indicator of the true proportions when viewed face up.

Cut
The cut of a round diamond has a significant impact on the diamond's brilliance, fire, and scintillation. Poor workmanship and cutting results in a dull, lifeless diamond. The cut of round brilliant diamonds is straightforward to judge because they are professionally graded by independent diamond laboratories. Other diamond shapes have a substantially more subjective cut grade. If there are cut grades, they are more arbitrary. We normally recommend very good, perfect, or super ideal cut round brilliant diamonds for engagement rings (also known as hearts and arrows). Diamonds that have a high cut grade are more beautiful for a given carat weight than diamonds that have a lower cut grade.
Color
The color of your diamond is the other important quality to consider. Although people's capacity to perceive color changes varies, most people prefer a colorless or white diamond, or at the very least color that is difficult to detect with the naked eye. The most frequent color grade for the center diamond in engagement rings is F-H color.
Clarity
Clarity is usually the last quality to be determined because it has the least impact on the appearance of a diamond. Some diamonds graded ``SI2`` or ``SI1`` do have obvious inclusions, but if the diamond you choose in Elleroses has an inclusion that we can see with the naked eye, we will contact you. For the center diamond of their engagement ring, many Elleroses consumers choose ``VS2`` or ``SI1`` clarity grades. Only a few clients who value clarity go as high as the ``IF`` or ``VVS`` clarity grades.

Buying a diamond from a respected gemological laboratory with an independent diamond grading certificate is often preferred. To ensure that you are getting exactly what you paid for, an independent evaluation is essential. Keep in mind that the European Gemological Laboratory's (EGL) ratings are far more liberal than those of other laboratories. We advocate establishing a balance between the size (as measured by carat weight) and the quality of a diamond (or its cut, color, and clarity).
