Long Lines, Lasting Love: The Beauty of Elongated Engagement Rings

 It comes as no surprise that rings featuring elongated gemstone shapes are rising in popularity with our clients. Bold, elegant, timeless, the elongated engagement ring is all these things and so much more. 

The process of selecting an engagement ring is a daunting process whether you are custom designing or buying directly from a store or website. If you’re leaning toward an alternative look, the elongated diamond may be the perfect match for you. Here’s a list of benefits to consider:

Flattering Effect: Every time you look at your engagement ring you should love what you see. An elongated stone is visually flattering, lengthening the finger and accentuating the overall appearance of the hand.

Versatile Design: An elongated cut works beautifully with various settings and metals and can be complimented by smaller stones on the side or lining the band.

Unique Style: Offering a noticeable look compared to the round or square diamond, an elongated cut caters to any style from contemporary to romantic to vintage.

Looks Bigger: Because most elongated cuts cover more surface area than a round diamond of the same carat, they give the illusion of looking bigger.

A gemstone’s shape, or cut, is its most distinctive characteristic and understanding the different elongated options will help you find the best one for your engagement ring.

Oval: A modern twist on the round brilliant cut, the oval shaped diamond is admired for its dazzling sparkle and timeless elegance.

Marquise: A remarkable shape that features a curved center with pointed ends, the marquise cut glistens with romantic allure while giving the illusion of a larger gemstone size.

Elongated Cushion: A perfect blend of vintage style and modern sophistication, the elongated cushion stands out from the traditional cushion cut with its lengthened silhouette.

Pear: Marked by a droplet shape, the pear cut diamond catches the eye with its radiant brilliance and delicate beauty.

Emerald: Featuring a sleek, linear shape, the emerald cut diamond is favored for its bold, contemporary appearance. 

Moval: A hybrid shape blending characteristics of the marquis cut and oval cut, creating an elegant, elongated silhouette with rounded ends.
