Engagement Rings, Gem Shape Selection

The demand for engagement wedding rings is something that rarely dips. An engagement ring is purchased, worn or gifted for it's meaning and symbolism. A lot of discussion, debate and thinking goes into the selection of an engagement ring. One of the frequent questions received by the Kaisilver custom jewelry support team relates to the gem shape for an engagement ring. Before we move ahead we would like say that, there is no best or ideal gem shape suitable for your gold or 925 silver engagement ring. However a few suggestions and tips will guide you on the right track.

Gem Type: All gems are not priced the same and certain gemstone types in fancy shapes like heart, can carry premium price tags. This becomes relevant of your heart engagement ring is to have a ruby, sapphire, emerald or even tanzanite gem. With such gems mostly being cut in the regular oval, round or pear shape - custom cutting is required for a heart shaped gem stone. So if you are very particular about getting a ruby, emerald or sapphire engagement ring try to stay within the regular, round, oval, pear or probably octogonal gem shapes.

Gem Shape: If you already have a particular gemstone shape in mind for your engagement ring, a few things need to be kept in mind. Square shaped gems for expensive gems like ruby, sapphire, emerald and tanzanite will show a sharp increase in price in gem sizes beyond 7mm. This will also apply to heart shaped gems for these gem types. A good example would be to compare the price points for a 9x7mm oval ruby or sapphire with an 8mm round or 8mm heart shaped ruby or sapphire. The oval gem would be more readily found and more attractively priced.

Design Concept: If you like heavy and bold engagement rings, keep an eye on the gem type and gem size that you would need. A blue topaz engagement ring with a 12mm gem size might fit your budget but, go beyond 9mm for a ruby, sapphire or emerald gem and rest assured that you will need a hefty budget to match the gem size. On the other hand, if your priority is for gem type look for affordable price tags for that, particular gem and do not stick to a particular gem size requirement.

Pear Shape: Engagement rings with pear or drop shaped gems were quite common around a decade ago, but things have changed now. While there rarely is any logical backing for changes in trends and fashion, we did hear about the belief that the pear or drop shape gem represents a tear drop! No one wants sorrow in their dream relationship - this probably ended interest in pear shaped engagement rings.
