The Best Engagement Ring Shape If You're on a Budget


Engagement ring shopping on a budget can be a bit overwhelming. Options can be limited and compromises will undoubtedly have to be made. But that doesn't mean you have to settle on a less-than-brilliant ring. 

According to the engagement ring experts at The Jewellery Editor, there's one type of ring in particular that's been soaring in popularity as of late for a very distinct reason. Princess-cut diamond rings (you can't beat the name) have become the second most popular cut for engagement rings, after solitaire. Aside from its apparent beauty, it's perhaps the most budget-friendly of diamond cuts. The reason? You get more bang for your buck. Let us explain. Since the corners of the diamond are left intact, it will be bigger than a round diamond of the same width, as less of the rough diamond has to be cut away when forming a square shape. Furthermore, princess diamonds are cut in the shape of a pyramid, and with four slanted sides, the cut has even more sparkle than other square diamonds due to the way the light is dispersed. Makes sense, right? Now that you're in-the-know, keep scrolling to shop a few of our favorite princess-cut engagement rings.
