  WEDDING GUIDE

Solitaire Ring Settings
Solitaire settings are the most popular and classic choice for an engagement ring. Solitaire settings focus the viewer's attention on the center diamond and lift a diamond into the light for unequaled brilliance. Brilliance uses platinum prongs in every solitaire setting in order to safely secure your center diamond. Shop Solitaire Ring Settings.

Metals
Brilliance engagement and wedding rings are available in the finest quality 18k gold and platinum. Deciding on the right metal type is an important step in choosing the right engagement and wedding ring.
Finest Gold & Platinum Metal
18K Gold
Every engagement ring at Brilliance is available in 18k white and yellow gold. 18k gold (75% pure gold 25% other alloys) is used for its durability, quality, and beautiful finish. Gold will never tarnish, or corrode during normal wear and is less expensive than Platinum while having a very similar look and finish.
Platinum
Platinum is the strongest metal used in fine jewelry and is much more rare than gold. Platinum is comprised of 90-95% pure metal. Compared to gold, platinum is more resistant to damage and wear and is more costly. Platinum has an extremely white appearance and is slightly duller than polished gold.
Certified Diamonds
Choosing a certified diamond for an engagement ring is often a difficult decision. However, with the right information you can focus on the attributes and qualities that matter most to you. Shop Certified Diamonds.

Shape
An important first step in choosing a certified diamond is finding the diamond shape that both of you love. While the Round cut diamond is the most popular shape, other diamond shapes such as Princess cut, Pear cut, Oval cut, and Emerald cut can be equally appealing. Learn More.

Carat Size
The greater the carat weight, the rarer - and thus more expensive - the diamond. Diamond value increases exponentially and a one-carat diamond can cost four to six times more than a half-carat diamond. Learn More.

Clarity
Diamond clarity is determined by the internal and external characteristics visible under 10x magnification. Type, position, and size of inclusions are crucial to determining clarity.

Certification
A diamond certificate is a document that describes the key characteristics of a diamond. Understanding the different laboratories and their grading procedures can help determine which is perfect for you.

Color
The majority of diamonds used in engagement rings show very little to no color to the untrained eye. Diamond color is graded on a D (colorless) to Z (light yellow) scale.

Cut
Diamond cut is often considered the most important characteristic of a diamond. A well-cut diamond will reflect brilliance and fire back to the viewer.
