If what you’re looking to accomplish with your purchase of an engagement ring is uniqueness, then sometimes you need to think outside the box. There are definitely a fixed number of style groups when it comes to engagement rings. You have tapered baguette side stones, pave halo, pave on the shank, solitaire, etc. But aside from these easily categorized style groups, you occasionally have styles that are so unique they defy classification. Today’s ring is once such design.
Today’s selection features a double shank that is slightly split just before it reaches the basket at the top of the ring. Surrounding the basket is a artfully woven strip of gold studded with ideal cut pave stones. This creates a fiery pave style look but with the added beauty of this uniquely artistic design.
You can view the ring on JamesAllen.com here: 18k White Gold Pave Frame Split Shank Engagement Ring.

James Allen also has a great selection of engagement rings to choose from to match with this diamond. If you’d like to match this beautiful center stone with a ring that has a consistent princess cut look with a lot of side stone sparkle, James Allen’s 18k White Gold 3 Stone Channel Set Princess Diamond Engagement Ring. This ring is the perfect way to show of the square beauty of the princess cut while providing tons of brilliance.
As with the other princess cut daily diamond selections, today’s diamond has a truly ideal cut for a princess cut. 70.8% depth and 70% table are right in the middle of the tightest ranges for princess cut parameters. Furthermore, the diamond is a perfect square – something rather rare.

James Allen also has a great selection of engagement rings to choose from to match with this diamond. If you want something that’s delicate and simple, yet still offers some of the extra sparkle that side stones offer, then I suggest going with James Allen’s 18k White Gold 0.30ctw Common Prong Diamond Engagement Ring. The very narrow 1.9mm shank will really make the size of this center stone show strongly, and the ideal cut side stones will add a ton of pop and fire behind the center stone.
This diamond is lucky enough to have almost all of the I1 spread around the girdle (edge) of the diamond. You can strategically place the setting’s prongs to cover much of the cloud formations that you see around the edges. Even without the prong-cover, however, this diamond will be clean to the naked eye. When your eye scans a diamond, rarely does it focus on the outer edge.

James Allen also has a great selection of engagement rings to choose from to match with this diamond. As with our last daily diamond selection, if you really want to make this large diamond look huge on your fiance’s finger, then pair it with an engagement ring that is as simple and delicate as possible. Making sure the shank width is quite narrow (as close to 2mm as possible) will ensure you’ll get this look successfully. Setting this large 2 carat Round diamond on top of a ring such as James Allen’s 18k White Gold 2.2mm Wire Basket Solitaire Ring will really make it stand out.
I’m sure by now you have noticed the large inclusion at about 8 o’clock in the picture of this stone. I can tell you from experience that if you place a prong over the outer edge of this inclusion, it will make it much less noticeable. Again, like a few of the other I1 selections, this stone might not technically be totally eye-clean at 12 inches, but it will definitely be clean at a casual glance. You’ll need to really study the stone to find that inclusion at 8 o’clock unless you already know where it is.
