You might have noticed during my current daily diamond series of the best Hearts & Arrows Ideal Cut round diamonds for various budgets that I’ve also tried to highlight a different style concept in engagement rings each day. Today I will try to continue this pattern.
Another style that I love is where the shank of the engagement ring is studded with small side stones that are larger than typical pave diamonds. Most pave diamonds are about 0.01 carat. The side diamonds of today’s ring are 0.05 carat each. 0.05 carat diamonds are usually about 2.4mm across while 0.01 carat diamonds are approximately 1.35mm across. The difference is quite significant and truly changes the look of the ring. In the industry, pave-size diamonds are referred to as “stars” while diamonds between 0.02ct and 0.07ct are referred to as “full cuts.”
James Allen has several rings with side diamonds of this size. My personal favorite among their selection is their 18k White Gold Common Prong Ten Briliiant Diamond Engagement Ring.
