Are you searching for the perfect engagement ring but feeling overwhelmed by endless online options?
You’re not alone! Choosing from hundreds of proposals can seem impossible, but with our comprehensive guide, you’ll transform this challenge into an exciting experience.
The secret to choosing the ideal engagement ring? Finding the perfect balance between the diamond’s shape, the setting, and the unique characteristics of the hand that will wear it.
After all, it’s a piece of jewelry to be worn for a lifetime!
Before diving into personalised details, here are the most sought-after diamond shapes for engagement rings:
-Round Brilliant– The timeless classic
– Emerald – Contemporary Art Deco elegance
– Cushion – Romantic and sophisticated
– Oval – The trend of the moment
– Princess – Modern and geometric
– Radiant – Brilliance without compromise
– Asscher – Vintage with character
– Marquise – Regal and elegant
– Pear – Feminine and unique
– Heart – Romance for excellence
The round brilliant diamond remains the universal choice that flatters any type of hand, but let’s discover together which shape will best enhance the beauty of the wearer.
Perfect engagement rings for small hands or short fingers
Small hands have a delicate charm that deserves to be enhanced with the right choice:
– Pear-shaped diamond, visually lengthens fingers creating an elegant elongating effect,
– Marquise diamond, the elongated shape creates the illusion of longer and more tapered fingers,
– Oval diamond, the absolute trend of 2025, combines classic elegance and modernity.
These three shapes greatly enhance hands, as they create the illusion of longer and slimmer fingers. These diamonds also have a greater surface area compared to other diamond shapes, so they appear larger than diamonds with the same carat weight.
Why are these lab-grown diamonds perfect for small hands? They have a greater surface area compared to other shapes of the same carat weight, so they appear larger and more luminous.
Avoid square-shaped diamonds, such as Princess or Asscher cut diamonds, or wide bands.
Recommended Settings:
– Slim and delicate bands that don’t weigh down the hand,
– Minimalist settings that highlight the diamond,
– Fairmined 18k gold by Fàbera for an ethical and refined touch.
Diamond shapes and engagement rings for wide finger
Wide fingers offer a perfect canvas for important rings and elaborate designs! You have more space to create spectacular compositions.
In this case, you can try these diamond shapes:
– pear, marquise and oval diamonds create a beautiful elongating effect,
– radiant diamond, intense brilliance in a sophisticated rectangular shape,
– emerald-cut diamond, linear elegance that enhances important fingers.
Each of these can create the illusion of a longer and slimmer hand.
You could also consider a diamond with a higher carat weight and, fortunately, Fàbera’s lab-grown diamonds allow you to have superior carats without compromising your budget, achieving the visual impact you deserve.
Recommended Settings:
– trilogy: Three diamonds for a symbol of eternal love,
– toi et moi: Two diamonds of different shapes that embrace each other,
– side diamond pavé for extra brilliance,
– medium-wide bands for perfect proportions.
