A round brilliant diamond solitaire engagement ring is truly a remarkable thing to behold. Just have a look at all the wonderful rings above. I am sure you will agree that you can’t find a better cut for an engagement ring than the round brilliant

.Moreover, you can find round brilliant diamond rings at a variety of different prices reflecting the 4 Cs: carat, cut, clarity and color. The more expensive rings not only tend to be bigger (meaning a larger carat weight) but also generally have a higher color and clarity rating as well. Due to the popularity of the the round brilliant cut, you generally have a large selection to choose from, which means a larger range of prices.

Generally speaking you will not be able to get a true round brilliant diamond solitaire engagement ring for much less than $500. Anything costing much less than that, will most likely have significant defects in any or several of the 4 Cs. With diamond jewelry, as with most things in life, you get what you pay for.

Conversely, if your budget allows it, you can end up spending into the millions for a perfect round brilliant cut diamond.

As for the rest of us we have to be a little bit more realistic in what we choose. One thing to be aware of though with round brilliant diamond is that you should always opt for quality over quantity. Your diamond engagement ring is not a buffet, but more like a fine dinning experience that you will want to enjoy for decades to come.

This means, no matter what your budget, that you should opt for smaller stones with higher clarity and color ratings rather than larger ones at the same price point. There is no point in buying a diamond if it is just going to look dull or muddy. A brilliant cut will show off your diamonds brilliancy, as long as you choose a quality stone.

One other thing to be conscious of that many people forget is type of metal used for the setting and actual ring portion of your engagement ring. The most common choices these days are either gold or platinum. Again it comes down to taste, but in my opinion I would always spend up to what I could afford and what makes sense given the diamond you are buying.

For example, it makes no sense to buy a 10K gold ring for a million dollar diamond. For most people I would recommend 18K gold, especially for a round brilliant diamond solitaire engagement ring because it will help show off the brilliance of the ring itself. Better yet, if you can afford platinum go with that because it is even better but it is a fair bit pricier.

So now that you are a bit better educated please feel free to browse our large selection of rings above.
