How to choose an engagement ring

The style of the engagement ring is just as important as the choice of the stone it will hold. The ring should reflect the personal style of the person who will wear it. If you're selecting the jewellery for your future bride, observing the pieces she already owns is an excellent way to understand her preferences. Choosing a design that complements her usual style—whether classic and understated, or modern and bold—will help you select a ring that resonates with her tastes.

Brilliant

The round brilliant cut is the most popular and classic, known for maximizing the brilliance of the stone. With its 58 meticulously cut facets, it reflects light exceptionally, creating a luminous intensity that enhances the beauty and value of the diamond. This design not only enhances the stone but also conveys elegance and sophistication. It is the preferred choice for engagement rings and classic jewellery.

Oval

The oval diamond cut offers excellent brilliance and style, with an elongated design that not only enhances the aesthetics of the fingers but also makes the stone appear larger than other shapes of the same carat weight. Positioned between the round and pear cuts, the oval cut is ideal for those seeking the brilliance of the round with a more elongated, modern touch.

Pear

The pear-shaped diamond combines the aesthetic features of both the round brilliant and marquise shapes; it has a rounded end and tapers upwards, resembling a water droplet. Pear-shaped diamonds can have a modern or vintage aesthetic depending on the setting and the wearer's style.

Marquise

The marquise cut diamond is valued for its elegant, elongated shape, with pointed ends that accentuate the visual size of the stone compared to its carat weight. This distinctive design not only elongates the fingers, making them appear more slender, but also offers extraordinary brilliance, reflecting light with sophisticated craftsmanship. Inspired by French nobility, it was King Louis XV who commissioned the court jeweller to create a diamond that would evoke the smile of his charming mistress, Madame de Pompadour. The marquise cut is the ideal choice for those who desire a unique and majestic style, blending tradition and refinement.

Emerald

The emerald cut is distinguished by its rectangular shape with bevelled corners and wide facets, which highlight the purity and clarity of the diamond, revealing the inner beauty of the stone. This sophisticated design, often associated with a vintage and refined aesthetic, is perfect for those seeking a jewel with classic and understated luxury.

Baguette

The baguette cut, with its elongated rectangular shape and straight facets, is appreciated for its clean and minimalist style that emphasizes the symmetry and purity of the diamond. This linear design enhances the transparency of the stone, offering a discreet and refined elegance. Perfect for those seeking a contemporary and essential aesthetic, the baguette cut uniquely combines simplicity and sophistication.

Princess

The princess cut, while sharing the brilliance of the round brilliant cut, stands out with its straight lines and sharp corners, giving it a more contemporary and sophisticated look. This modern design is ideal for those who want a diamond that reflects light exceptionally, while maintaining an elegant and cutting-edge aesthetic. Perfect for those seeking a combination of classic charm and current style, the princess cut uniquely blends brilliance and modernity.

Triangle

The triangular cut, also known as 'trillion' or 'trilliant', is characterized by its bold geometric shape and angular facets that amplify the brilliance of the diamond. This distinctive design captures light dynamically, creating a unique and spectacular play of reflections. With its modern aesthetic, the triangular cut is the perfect expression of contemporary elegance, ideal for those seeking a diamond that stands out with its innovative and sophisticated style.
