Engagement Rings FAQ

What makes a round brilliant cut diamond engagement ring unique?

The round brilliant diamond is a diamond cut that’s been developed over many decades of trial and error, making it unique in the dedication that has gone into ensuring the perfect angles to achieve the maximum brightness in a diamond. The modern brilliant cut diamond with 57 facets (58 with a culet) that we know today came to fruition in 1919, with changes taking place as technology continued to develop in the first half of the 1900s. A round brilliant cut diamond is a testament to the time and expertise that goes into designing a diamond with the perfect amount of sparkle- no other cut can compete.

Does a round brilliant diamond look bigger than other shaped diamonds of the same carat?

The depth of a round brilliant cut diamond really denotes whether it has a large ‘spread’ (i.e., its perceived size for its carat weight when viewed from the top). A shallower diamond may have a bigger spread, but light return may be poor, as the angles might not be correct to bounce light back to the eye. The same goes for a deep stone, although it will have a smaller spread than a perfectly cut stone of the same carat weight. Round brilliant cut diamonds will look bigger for their size when compared to princess and emerald cuts, but smaller against elongated shapes such as marquise or pear diamond cuts.

How do I choose the right carat size for a round brilliant cut engagement ring?

There’s no right or wrong when picking a carat size for a round brilliant cut diamond ring. It really comes down to what size stone you like on your finger, what design you’d like to go for, and how much you wish to spend. The best way to work out your preferred size is to book an appointment to see us in person – we have a range of stones ready to select from.

How to maximise the sparkle of a round brilliant cut engagement ring?

Light is the key component in any diamond’s sparkle. Maximising the amount of light entering the stone is the key to ensuring the diamond displays the best brilliance. An open setting, such as a 6 or 4 claw solitaire with a cathedral style band, is one of the most popular and aesthetically pleasing ways to make sure there’s light coming into the diamond from all angles.

Are round brilliant diamonds more expensive than other cuts?

Diamond cut prices generally vary depending on how much of the diamond crystal is wasted during the cutting process. A princess cut diamond is normally priced lower than a round brilliant cut diamond, as there’s very little diamond lost, and the crystal structure is an octagon, so it has a square cross-section. A round brilliant cut diamond does have more wastage as you’re cutting a circle from an octahedral profile, but not as much wastage as other cuts, such as a pear or a marquise, so it tends to sit in the middle of the range for pricing, although demand can also make prices rise.

Should I choose a cushion or a round cut diamond for my engagement ring?

A round brilliant cut diamond is a classic, symmetrical shape that produces the maximum brilliance from the stone and suits both modern and traditional designs. Cushion cut diamonds are a more traditional cut, more suited to vintage and antique styles, although they still look fantastic in modern solitaire settings. They’re normally not as symmetrical as a round brilliant cut diamond, and tend to be rectangular, if only slightly. They do still have a fantastic sparkle. Your choice of ring style will denote whether a round brilliant cut diamond or a cushion cut diamond will look best.

How can I pair a custom round brilliant diamond engagement ring with a wedding band?

The design of your engagement ring will denote the best style for your wedding ring. It’s important to ensure your engagement ring setting is sitting off the band if you wish to fit a straight wedding band flush against your ring in future. Some clients opt to have their engagement ring setting right on the finger so it’s less likely to get caught, and a fitted wedding ring can be designed to flow around the contours of the engagement ring. The key is to have your wedding ring design complement your engagement ring, not compete with it.

What metal types pair best with a round brilliant diamond?

Round brilliant cut diamonds look great in all precious metal types. It’s important to choose a colour that you love, but also one that complements the diamond’s colour. You may wish to put a more yellow diamond (lower colour grade) into a yellow gold setting, as it will help disguise the colour. Likewise, you may wish to set a higher colour grade diamond in a white metal to enhance the stone further, as the yellow gold reflecting through it may give it a yellow tinge. Coloured diamonds are normally paired with a metal colour that will make the colour appear more saturated; a yellow diamond in bright 18ct yellow gold, or a pink diamond in rose gold.

Are all round diamonds round brilliant diamonds?

A round brilliant cut diamond is a round diamond with a brilliant faceting pattern. Other round diamonds have a different number of facets or overall profile, which affects the light return, size and colour of the diamond. A good example is a round rose-cut diamond. They’re a beautiful round shape, but only have facets on the top of the stone with a flat bottom. This means that it is easier to see directly through the stone as light passes through the stone differently. Round rose-cut diamonds suit vintage designs with closed backs, but wouldn’t suit an open solitaire setting like a round brilliant cut would.

What is the best colour rating to choose for a round brilliant cut diamond?

The colour of a round brilliant cut diamond is often rated using the GIA colour scale, which ranges from D (colourless) to Z. Most diamonds seen in engagement rings range from D to J, with J stones having a more yellow or brown tinge. Metal colour, your preferences, and your budget will come into play when selecting a diamond colour. Anything G and above generally appears colourless to the eye.

What is the best cut rating to choose for a round brilliant cut diamond?

Round brilliant cut diamonds are the cut that GIA and other diamond grading laboratories base their grading systems on. A perfectly cut round brilliant cut diamond would achieve an ‘ideal’ rating. This means that the cut symmetry, polish and cut proportions are all excellent. This is the best option to pick for optimum light return, but diamonds with a combination of excellent and very good ratings can still be beautiful stones. It’s always important to consider other characteristics for your custom round round brilliant cut engagement ring, such as colour, fluorescence and inclusions. Our expert sales team can guide you through this process with ease. [blog post link? What are the 4cs of diamonds?]

Amazing craftsmanship. We now have a small 9 carat ring enlarged, enhanced and recreated as a beautiful 18 carat comfort fit ring using some jewellery passed down from parents thus always having a family connection. Amazing customer service, brilliant work and the end product is out of this world. Thank you

If we could give more than 5 stars we would! The team at Diamondport are fantastic, from Ash being very helpful, going above and beyond to bring everything together and to Karis being able to create our dream ring in just over 24hours is incredible. The after proposal service is brilliant and again due to time constraints Karis managed to resize the ring within a few hours. Cant thank the team enough and would always recommend Diamondport over any other jeweller!

Amazing experience and exceptional service. The whole process was really easy and enjoyable, from booking the appointment, to receiving my ring back, with a quick turnaround. It can often be difficult to entrust such a precious and valuable item to someone, but Ash and Rhianna at Diamondport were brilliant and made me feel reassured. They provided great advice and my engagement ring was cleaned and serviced to look as good as new. Would definitely recommend them and will be back again in the future.

I want to say a huge thank you to Ashley and the team at Diamondport Jewellers for working behind the scenes with my partner and best friend to design a ring I thought I would only ever dream of! Not only was the ring beyond amazing, Ashley was so attentive when we attended Diamondport after the proposal to help with the care and resizing of the ring. He was knowledgeable, kind and just as excited as we were. They created a customised ring perfectly matched to my style and taste. The ring is an 18ct white gold, 6 claw engagement ring with tapered high shoulders set with a 2.6 carat round brilliant cut diamond – safe to say I still haven’t stopped staring at my hand even months later! Thank you to the team at Diamondport for all of your planning and assistance in creating this stunning engagement ring.

I purchased an engagement ring for my Fiancée here as well as helping a friend do the same. We checked the vast majority of jewellers in Brisbane and found that Diamondport has what I think is not only the best service and product, but also (unbelievably) the best pricing. You need only consider/visit them when shopping around for an engagement ring, their superb offering will prove itself. Keep up the brilliant work team, with a special thank you to Mike, Ash, Karis and Ruthie.

This is the first time I've ever reviewed anything, but for the first time I feel I must share my absolute delight with my experience with Ash from Diamondport in Brisbane. I would say that I wasn't your ordinary guy with no idea about diamonds and about rings. I had knowledge of retailers, wholesalers, designers, diamonds etc. Through my homework, let's just say I knew what I was after. I went everywhere, from wholesalers in Melbourne, to Tiffany stores on the Gold Coast. I knew the design I was after and felt I had found it with 'another jeweller' in Brisbane. About to almost get things going with them a good friend of mine referred me to go see Ash at Diamondport before I went ahead with the other place... I contacted Ash and was very transparent with what I was after and what I was about to do, he assured me seeing him was not going to disappoint, and my god it didn't!! It was meant to be. The moment I met Ash and began dealing with him, it was evident his passion for diamonds and customer service was more genuine than anywhere I had previously been. (Including Tiffany) but what I was after was not something off the shelf. I was very particular in how i wanted the diamond, including its size, cut colour clarity it's setting, and a few other small but important details. I don't know anyone else that would have gone to as much effort as Ash did to get the engagement ring as perfect as I pictured it. But what was most impressive was the trust I immediately gave Ash in sourcing the diamond. The time he put in to find what I was after was well worth it, and because of the trust he earnt from me, I purchased the diamond without seeing it. This was based purely on his word that it would be perfect for me. I went ahead and a few days later the diamond arrived. An exceptional 1.56ct round brilliant cut masterpiece. I was overwhelmed in how the diamond looked, and to be honest it was better than expected. From here I had already received multiple 'design drawings' from Ash in how it would look when made. (Oh yes, I forgot to mention this ring was a full custom design) I went back and forth a couple times in making minor changes, and everytime I did Ash was more than accomodating as he too wanted to get it perfect. My final drawing came through and there it was - perfection. I gave Ash the go ahead and the making of the ring commenced. A diamond I hadn't seen, a ring and setting I only saw via a computer drawing, that was the trust I gave Ash. So you could say the next week or so while it was being made, I was very anxious in how it was going to look. Would it look as good as the drawings..? Well.... I got the call from Ash. It was ready. I went in to pick up the ring and was so nervous with butterflies, I almost couldn't open the box. Ash opened it for me and I was absolutely blown away. Lost for words I was actually rather emotional about how it looked. It was amazing. Far far exceeded my expectations and to see it in real life was beyond any of the drawings of it. The engagement ring was the most beautiful I had seen (and I'm the guy!!) I was simply delighted and could not wait to propose to my girlfriend. I won't go into the details of my proposal other than it was perfect. She was so overwhelmed and emotional on how beautiful her engagement ring is. In her words too - it is perfection. And she said she could not have dreamed a more beautiful and perfect ring. We have been engaged for 2 weeks now and everywhere we go, people comment on her engagement ring, she loves it, and i do too. The service Ash provided from the moment I first met him, to after my proposal is second to none. I would recommend Ash and Diamondport to anyone, and I sincerely thank him for the experience and the end result in the ring. Cheers, and thanks for reading. 💎💍
