A custom-made Fergus James diamond solitaire engagement ring is a timeless gesture of love that will last forever.
These rings can be crafted with any diamond size or shape, though the centre diamond should typically be 0.3 carats or greater to truly command attention. The first step in creating your solitaire diamond ring is selecting the diamond shape. Discovering your partner's preferred shape is essential. While the round cut remains the most popular for solitaire rings, other shapes are also gaining traction.
Celebrities like Mariah Carey and Kim Kardashian have chosen the elegant emerald cut, while Blake Lively and Jessica Alba have opted for the brilliant oval and elongated cushion shapes, respectively. Remember, personal tastes vary, so there’s no "right" answer when it comes to shape selection.
When determining carat weight, aim for a balance between your partner’s expectations and your budget. A 1-carat diamond is achievable for most, while larger budgets can accommodate 2-carat diamonds and beyond.
