Can't figure out which diamond shape is your favorite...?
Make sure you check out our newest video, where we show you an on hand side by side comparison!
Hi Everyone! Welcome back to my channel, this is Bonnie with By Bonnie Jewelry, where I
talk about all things diamonds! You might have noticed...before I even put it in front of the camera...
So today I'm actually gonna be doing an episode on different diamond shapes...okay!
I know I do a lot of oval...rounds but also today wanted to show you like elongated cushion and
pear shape, which I think is gonna be the shape of 2022! I don't know yet but I think this is gonna be it...
The next trend after oval...okay! So let's break it down for you really quick...so here we have a
round diamond 2.3ct set on 6 prong, which is our Signature By Bonnie...just a classic solitaire!
it's just a little close up there...I love this ring because it's got a little bit of profile
like a little bit of height but it's not too much where really like...when you wear it it really pops
on your hand...one of my favorites! Here we have a 1.6ct elongated cushion cut set on our
dainty yellow gold...this has really been trending this look...the dainty yellow gold with a basket
and I absolutely love the look of it...it's just if you love elongated cushion...elongated cushion how
is it different from princess cut? A princess cut is completely square...so I definitely have
videos of princess cut, that you can watch right over there...make sure you go check it out and for
round...I also have this in the 2ct version in the two-tone platinum and rose gold...so make
sure you check that out over here as well if you want to see the close-up video...Okay so down
to here I have a 2.4ct pear shape diamond and this actually has a hidden halo...so let me
do a close-up....okay! I love the hidden halo! I love the hidden halo on this and the pear
notice how delicate the prongs are on each... each prong, okay...this is extremely difficult to do
extremely difficult to make sure that the craftsmanship of those prongs are as secure
but as invisible as possible...so here we have an oval...this is a 2.1-2.2ct roughly and
it also is set on a yellow gold band, thin yellow gold and this is also done very low profile but
able to wear a flush wedding band...okay, so this is it! I do have a ton of videos on oval
specifically, if you browse under my playlist you'll find a ton of oval diamond ring but
this one has the north south prongs, which makes it a little bit more unique but it is also...
you know personal preference and as far as like..."What shape will look better on your hands?"
So in general...I would say...you know go try things on...I feel like that's the only way that you
can really see what...what feels the best to you but if you're like..."hey they all look good...I really
don't have a preference..." I would think of something that...try to stick with something that's the most
classic right, think about the long term like in 5 to 10 years...Do you see yourself wearing that same shape?
And I feel like that's really gonna help you ultimately decide and as far as the band goes
you know...as you can see all of these rings even the yellow band...I did all in platinum basket and
that's really to enhance the whiteness of the diamond right....because I do a lot of colorless or
near colorless rings and they all you know...the platinum...the metal underneath really will reflect
on the center stone...so you want to make sure that not only the color is right but you want to make sure
the craftsmanship is there...! A lot of times a lot of jewelers or you know...online retailers
might send you rings with you know...the inside not as polished...that way you like you really
don't like...it really masks the sparkle of your perfect diamond...! So that's definitely one pointer
I have for you...if you're thinking about you know buying a ring and just make sure that you know...
you go to someone that has years and years of experience of making rings...and also what
I do enjoy...this is part of our Signature design...is that even though the bands are thin you are able
to wear a flush wedding band...because they're all designed low profile but still a space for flush
wedding band...and I feel like that's missing in a lot of design, that I see like...you'll see
a beautiful you know, simple ring and then bam the band is like super far away...I feel like...
maybe you love that look...to see the gap but I would say most of my clients don't love the gap...
so I think it's definitely personal preference but do your own research! Make sure whichever ring
you're gonna end up buying...you think about what kind of bands you're gonna be wearing...Those type
of low profile, thin yellow gold band or you know platinum band...oftentimes you'll find that
it's a little bit harder to wear a really thick wedding band...so like for example I have a really
thick wedding band...like if you put you know a really thin band next to next to my band like...
you'll see that it...it kind of touches it and it pushes it out because of the height of the
of the band...right! So you don't really want to damage it too much...I mean...yeah I can push it but
there's you know gonna be...a little bit of gapping there...you know and as long as you're okay with that!
So if you're thinking about doing a thicker band..I would just you know...plan ahead if you're
gonna do a thicker band..most likely the engagement ring will have to be designed a little bit thicker
this way...higher...so that it could accommodate a thicker band...okay! All righty, thank you so much
