Round Cut: The Value
Higher popularity also means round engagement rings will retain their value better over time. While the popularity of certain diamond cuts tend to ebb and flow with fashion fads and celebrity whims, the round brilliant holds constant appeal. The round brilliant elicits classic elegance and has endured for generations, making it the go-to shape for investment grade diamond purchases.
Not only will the stone hold value, but as trends change, the versatility will allow you to change up the initial ring without buying a new center diamond. Many couples choose to re-do their engagement ring design or add to the existing ring. A round stone adapts to all setting styles and all cuts and colors of side stones. Any change that might be made to a round engagement ring in celebration of an anniversary can be made around the look and timeless appeal of the original round brilliant stone.
