Why Choose a Round Brilliant Cut Engagement Ring?

In the eternal debate between cushion and round cut diamonds, the modern round brilliant cut diamond steals the spotlight with its 57 or 58 facets (including the bottom cutlet). Cushion cut diamonds, while featuring the same number of facets, have a slightly larger cut, providing a distinct appearance that, although not as sparkly, can appear larger for the same carat weight as a round cut. Both cuts exude their unique charm, making them fantastic choices for any engagement ring.
