There’s one engagement ring style that never seems to go out of style. It’s just as much an antique as it is a totally modern look. And when I say this, I don’t even mean it in the way you might view something like an antique filigree style setting. In those cases, they were in style a long time ago, and have recently come back into style.

Today’s selection, however, has never gone out of style. To women in the 30′s, it looked modern and classic, and to women in the 2010′s it looks modern and classic. The style to which I am referring of course is the classic design with a center solitaire stone flanked by two tapered baguettes on either side down the shank.

James Allen has a beautiful version of this classic look with their 18k White Gold Tapered Baguette Diamond Engagement Ring.

The high color on the baguettes along with the white gold will match beautifully with today’s high color (E Color) diamond. If you want a very white and bright and fiery look, today’s combination can’t be beat.

James Allen also has a large variety of engagement rings to choose from to pair with today’s daily diamond selection. If you love the pave styles that have a great flashy “bling” look, then look no further than James Allen’s 18k White Gold .66ct Pave Set Rounded Diamond Engagement Ring. This ring, with its three rows of pave diamonds almost all the way around the shank, has unsurpassed sparkle and fire. The total weight of all the pave stones is an incredible 0.66cts!

As always with our Daily Diamond selections, today’s stone is completely clean to the naked eye. Today’s stone is quite unique in that it’s significantly larger than most other 2 carat cushion cut diamonds. This is due to its truly ideal depth percentage of only 60.5%. This gives the stone a depth that’s usually fitting only a round brilliant diamond. So for the price of a fancy shape, you get the spread of a round. It’s really a special find.

James Allen also has a great selection of engagement rings to choose from to match with this diamond. If you like the look of a thin shank set with princess cut side stones, then James Allen’s 18k White Gold Channel-Set Diamond Engagement Ring might be the perfect ring for you. Even though the picture to the right features a round brilliant diamond, this setting can be made just as easily with a princess cut diamond.

Today’s diamond, like the previous two princess cuts in this series is a truly special cut. The 68.8% depth ensures this diamond has a massive spread for a 2.20 carat diamond. It will look as large as most very nicely made 2.50 carat diamonds.
