Engagement Ring Diamond Size Comparisons for All Shapes: Oval, Round, Princess, Cushion & More 

When we decided to get married, my now husband couldn't afford an engagement ring as we ploughed all our money into buying a little house. We both turned 60 last year and my husband bought me a beautiful round diamond (with halo) platinum engagement ring. Honestly the most romantic experience of my entire life!

In case people still don’t know: James Allen own by Signet, who also own Jared who own Kay and Zales. So ultimately you are buying from one company. You are welcome:)

That 2.5 ct. Oval was breathtaking!

If anyone pays $15,000 for a 1 carat D VVS theyre sadly uneducated

I was given a 1 ct round diamond for our engagement. Its the most beautiful diamond ive ever seen. From up close and from afar

me single with no options watching this. "She's gonna get the best ring ever"

I love the marquis shape, until I got it. Two pointed ends made it difficult not to scratch yourself, and others. Try putting on a pair of nylon hose! I was lucky not to ruin them before I got the hose into place. I had a 2ct marquis, along with a double halo band… I think I would opt for an oval shape stone at present. The rounded edges would be far easier on the hand.

The 4 ct Oval is stunning. I'd say yes immediately. Also love the 2.5 Pear but would prefer a 3.5 or 4 ct. Think those shapes look stunning on small hands with slim, long fingers.

I love the fancy cuts!! Marquise & emerald are my favorites 😙😍

I love the pear shape and the marquise shape and the emerald shape all beautiful.

Diamonds are still a girls best friend. I have been wearing mine for thirty years. Compare that to how many cars you will own. Diamond still a bargain. Gives you joy every time you wear and it can always be handed it down. Sinerely, retired diamond sales NYC

Emerald and radiant 🙋🏾‍♀️

I love emerald cut but you’re right is not as shiny as the other forms. I will leave emerald for other stones and for diamonds definitely radiant!

What is the model's finger size, please ?

Round and marquise 😍

I’d love to see this on a smaller finger. As a size 4 even some 1ct stones look ridiculous on me 😇😂

Really love diamond ring 💍

Loved the 3.8 CT Emerald but with a better stone - the one featured here looks slightly yellow (I hate round stones). Also loved 2.5 CT Radiant.

I thought I wanted a oval but now aim leaning to a round. I have a very lovely diamond wedding band with three rows of round and rectangular diamonds. I’m thinking a 2 carat round would look better with it.

Give me that 4 carat cushion cut masterpiece!!!!

Best Diamond comparison 💎💍💎💍💎

Yes diamond is precious ❤️

Cushion Cut 😍✂️💍

Gonna have to bite the bullet and get 2+ round, it just looks so amazing!

I'm not a fan of the round cause they're too expensive and not my style but, I need that sparkle! So I've been doing my research and making ring styles but am still torn on what to get. What would shape would come next after round for most sparkle? From most to least. PLEASE HELP!!!

Or, you could just get a colored stone, which are much more beautiful and rare. Be different.

I am looking to get a garnet stone to set in ring that I already have. I’m trying to decide what cut of garnet to order. I was thinking of the checkerboard cut but the jeweler said the diamond cut has a really nice cut. I don’t know which to choose from the cuts. I just want it to look nice. The setting is a 6 prong gold skinny band with diamonds surrounding the mounting.

why the heck i didnt know your page ...i payed a lot for the ring for my girl ... maybe just 2 carat but its pure

Rick, I appreciate - as a woman - your comments about a diamond ring representing the woman's worth. However your history is a little skewed. The American custom of engagement rings really goes back to the custom of Anglo-Saxons (early Middle Ages) and "bride price". This was a sum of goods or silver given to a bride by the groom. It was not a dowery - which is something given to her family as payment for her. This was something that went either directly to the bride upon the wedding, or was given to a close male relative who then passed it to her. This was something valuable so that in the event the man deserted her (and children), abused her badly, or died, she would have some property with which to help herself. It was a sort of insurance against a bad marriage or irresponsible husband, or his death (although his brothers would also be responsible for her in that case, if he had any). The value of the bride price reflected her social status (and his) but also his willingness to see that she be taken care of no matter what. Today this law - and it was Anglo-Saxon law as well as custom - is remembered in the form of a ring. In the event the husband dies or marriage is dissolved, the ring can be sold and the "price" used to help the woman's financial well-being. This custom of the engagement ring that grew in the UK and America eventually spread to continental Europe and the rest of the world. (Interestingly, the Anglo-Saxon groom also gave the bride a "morning gift" - more valuable goods or silver, upon consummation of the marriage.)

What is the models ring size? That is important when looking at karat sizes

Love ovals. They look bigger, have a good sparkle and makes the finger look longer. Plus they aren't as common as rounds. Just beware of the bowtie effect

Haha idk why I'm watching atm just that I like diamonds, I love the round ones!!Feel like it looks the best on my hand

Which is more expensive round or emerald 1 carat, ( looks bigger and sparkle) in your opinion and price to SI both diamonds, regards.

Emerald is my fav, then asscher. Xxx

Cushion 2 carat looks noice

where are you located Rick? thanks for the information.

The oval cuts are shallow compared to the round and you can see the band through the stones

I like the princess or oval in white gold. Do they come in half sizes because I wear a 6.5 ?

Hello, I'm currently looking at a .62 ct marquise shape. I noticed that size is rarely show cased in most videos I've watched like these. Any particular reason, like rarity or maybe not so great in quality? Just wondering. Thanks for any help!

I don’t know who to believe. I was ready to purchase our rings online after reviewing your content; even though we found something at a brick and mortar store. Only to further research and the jeweler was saying don’t buy from the link you provided or Blue Nile; now I’m confused and don’t know who to believe.

I'm torn between round and princess cut

Really interested in a heart diamond. What is your suggestion???

Radiant and Brillianr-Round cuts please

I want a 3 ct diamond shaped in 18 kt gold

4:50 the problem with the cow analogy is that the cows have resale value. they provide meat and milk and new cows. that’s why newlyweds got cows. diamonds sit there and lose 40% of their value when they leave the store.

Too bad I can’t afford 2.5 ct diamonds 😂😂😂

Where do you recommend buying a diamond ring in the UK please

Sen a diamond for jlo mandas rings of crown diamonds for mandao

I inherited a diamond ring. The ring is a hundred years old. Can I show it to you in private. Thank you.

I had no idea jewelry stores ripped you off like that.... that’s criminal!!

All you could see was moving hand, nails & no diamond detail. Great info tho!!

I do not see the link to the website you are talking about, also how can I get your input in what I find?🙏🏻😊

Thank you so much now I know I should go for Radiant 😍 instead of emerald

Beautiful!😇

How is it possible for online stores to sell them for so much cheaper? I understand you’re paying for the brand in big stores but what else is it?

Normally how much is the oval brilliant cut clarity K 2ct with equality I1?

can u recomend a best shop online for canadians to buy diamond pendent

This video helped me so much

I want a 3Ct heart cut diamond with a rosegold band.

Question, what store do you recommend to get an accurate appraisal? I just bout a 3/5 carat Cushion online and I want verify it's the quality I was sold.

Heart shape !! Only heart shape in my ❤

Is there any website you recommend to pay for what you’re actually getting?

Bardzo chętnie przyjmę to cudo na moje urodziny

This was very helpful thank you!

What size is the finger?

Should have mentioned the hand size, though. I'm guessing it's six or five? 1 carat looks really big on that hand.

Regular gold ring. From Tiffanys

Problem with round cut is that its too common😂😂😂

What’s the mm of the setting?

My sister's is a 1 carat princess cut

I actually love a flawed diamond

why do you present 2 prices for the same diamond??

What is the ring finger size??

Would Emerald or Radiant Be Stupid To Put On A Chanel Setting?

I think the ratio of the diamonds that u show here is a bit off

I’d be really happy with the 4 CT cushion cut or radiant cut. The princess cut would be my third pick. Hate round cuts.

What would you choose between marquise and asscher cut diamond?

where is the Instagram link for Oval diamonds?

Hi, was wanting to know what one can look for in terms instead if “cut” for an oval diamond/What is the next criteria closely related to the “cut” for the oval shape. Thanks

Obsessed with asschers! Though, I prefer lab created. Just a personal preference, but it seems to me that the "value" and "rarity" of mined diamonds its fabricated by the diamond industry.

Do you recommend any lab grown diamond companies?

Hi ! It's a nice to meet you It's a beautiful,may God blessing all of you there.

A diamonds beauty is the sparkle, not the shape.

Your the guy from body language understanding.

Have a question about the emerald cut. What should I expect to get on spending between $5-7000?

What is your Indian price

my ring size is a size 4

Gratidão

Where can we buy diamond rings from you

Sale may diamond ring

SIGNET owns both kay jewelers and james allen, as well as bluenile, diamonds direct, jared, zales, etc all owned by SIGNET jewelers... an identical stone can be 15 different prices at 15 different stores, all owned by the same company... they're going to put themselves out of business lol

Oval 😍😍😍😍😍

Mariage

If a diamond with a poor cut grade looks the same size as one with an excellent cut grade but the bigger one is a lot cheaper than the one with the good cut grade than why not get the bigger one? (assuming you don't care about the sparkle) I mean you can't really say that someones getting ripped off if you don't know the numbers.

Wow
