For today’s ring recommendation, I wanted to go back to a style that’s universally popular nowadays. Additionally, I wanted to find a setting that highlighted the unique beauty of a princess cut.
If I had to guess what is the most popular engagement ring style these days aside from a plain solitaire, I would have to say it’s a simple shank with channel set round or princess cut pave diamonds.
So I figured the perfect ring to showcase today would be James Allen’s 18k White Gold Channel Set Princess Cut Diamond Engagement Ring. This ring has a width that is perfect for most women (2.5mm). It has channel set ideal cut princess cut pave diamonds along the shank which will match very nicely with an ideal cut princess center diamond.
In White Gold, after the TADJ10 discount, this setting costs $1080. In Platinum, it is $1597.50 after discount.

Sometimes, you want something very unique. Of course, in regular engagement ring styles, you have varying degrees of uniqueness. There are various styles of engagement rings with side stones, some with out, some with filigree, etc. But if you really want to be different, sometimes you need to make a bold choice. And the boldest of choices is to add a splash of color to your engagement ring setting.
James Allen offers a number of settings with colored precious gemstones set as side stones. My personal favorite are blue sapphires. I feel that these highlight the whiteness of the diamond quite beautifully.
Of all of the selections James Allen offers for engagement ring settings with colored gemstone accent stones, I prefer their Platinum 3-Stone Pear Shape Blue Sapphire Engagement Ring over the rest..

Now this stone is probably not technically eye clean. If you study it for any amount of time, you will probably be able to make out the inclusions. But, at a casual glance, the stone is definitely clean to the naked eye. Marquise cuts are great at masking inclusions. Notice how the inclusions blend into the overall look of the stone.
James Allen also has a great selection of engagement rings to choose from to match with this diamond. As I mentioned yesterday, with a small diamond, I don’t recommend buying a setting with too much “bling” in the background – it’s better to let the center stone stand on its own. But with a monster like today’s, diamond, I think it definitely adds to the beauty of the ring without taking anything away from the center stone. Today’s stone is 13.70mm long! That’s enormous. This stone would look amazing with James Allen’s Platinum Round Brilliant Diamond Engagement Ring with 4 round brilliant side stones weighing a total of 0.70 ct.

Given that today’s pick is clearly superior to yesterday’s more expensive pick, I hereby renounce yesterday’s pick and enthusiastically endorse today’s stone instead. Today’s diamond is truly a bargain. Bear in mind that although the culet in the picture looks off-center, this is simply because the diamond was not laying flat in its holder during the picture. I know this is the case, since the diamond received an Excellent Symmetry grade from GIA.
