There are tons of standard cuts and even some eccentric, unnamed cuts. The band of the ring is another place you can really show your style and fashion sense. Rather than a simple band made from high-quality metal, you can choose a more intricate band. These bands may feature twisted and worked metal or even feature smaller diamonds that encircle the band of the ring. 

Simple Bands

Single-stone diamond rings that feature simple bands are the most classic version of the diamond solitaire ring. The focal point of this piece of jewlery is the diamond so many choose bands that accentuate and don’t draw attention away from the diamond.

The cut of the diamond is incredibly important for a solitaire ring that has a simple band. You want to make sure that you choose a quality stone.

Be sure you have a basic understanding of the different cuts of diamonds so you can be sure that you are happy with what you choose. 

Detailed Bands

Not everyone wants a simple band. Some of us have a flashier style or simply want something with a bit more detail an intricacy. A single-stone diamond ring also looks great with a more complex band. Some bands will feature different types of metals, to give the ring a two- or three-tone appearance. You may also see bands that feature twisted or feature other metalwork to create a unique band.

Some people like a bit of extra flash. You can pair a single-stone diamond ring with a band that features small, pave-style diamonds for a truly stunning piece. Smaller diamonds accent the ring and give it an extra sparkle.

Different Cuts for Single-Stone Diamond Rings

The diamond, as one of the hardest stones on earth, can be cut into a wide range of shapes and cuts. Each cut will give the finished diamond a different look and feel. The cut of a diamond has an effect on the amount of light refraction a diamond will have. This provides the difference in the amount of light the stone will throw.

While there are far more cuts of diamonds than we can review in a short piece, let’s take a brief look at some of the most popular cuts available.

Round Brilliant Cut

This is the most popular cut of diamond available. Jewelers would use this cut just as often hundreds of years ago as it is today. There are different variations on this cut that give each stone its own level of shine and brilliance.

Given the name of the cut, it is easy to see that this is one of the more sparkly cuts you can select. There is a lot of flexibility with this cut. Due to the nature of this cut, you want to be sure you choose the highest grades of diamonds as flaws will more easily stand out.

Princess-Cut Diamonds

This cut of diamond is also very popular. Most often, this stone will be either square or rectangular. Like the round-cut stone, the princess-cut stone refracts a large amount of light, giving the stone a good sparkle.

Most cuts of diamonds display the most color at the center of the stone. Part of what makes this cut so unique is that the color is also apparent at the edges of the stone. This gives this cut a unique way of emitting color.

Marquise-Cut Diamonds

For those who like larger diamonds, this is a great choice of cut. The marquise-cut diamond is a great shape for those who want to have the diamond as the true center and focal piece of the ring. If you want a solitaire diamond ring that is classic and simple in style, this is an excellent choice.

This cut of diamond looks great with a simple band made from platinum or any color of gold. People also like this shape because of the slimming effect it has on the finger. It makes our fingers appear longer and more slender.

The diamond can have a variety of dimension rations. It can be longer and thinner or shorter and fatter. The different dimensions will lead to unique pieces.

Cushion-Cut Diamond

This is a great cut for a single-stone diamond ring and is also a very popular cut. This cut may also come under the name of pillow-cut. It is a timeless cut of diamond. The ring will have a level of class and elegance that is hard to match. 

This cut features round corners and a lot of large facets. This adds to its light refraction qualities. This style of ring has a sparkle and shine most similar to round-cut brilliant diamonds. Like the princess-cut diamond, the cushion-cut diamond may have a round or rectangular shape, depending on your preferences.

Emerald-Cut Diamonds

This is one of the more unique diamond shapes. It features rectangular facets in a step-cut. This brings out the natural clarity of the stone. For this reason, only the finest and highest-grade diamonds will get this cut.

This cut will show flaws in the stone, so you want to make sure that the stone you choose is as flawless as possible. It features a rectangular table and inclusions and inner color will be brought out by the cut.

Radiant-Cut Diamonds

This style of diamond features elements of an emerald-cut diamond and a round brilliant diamond. Similar to the emerald cut, the corners of the ring have the same type of edge and trim. The brilliance of light refraction of the stone has a shine and glint like a round-cut brilliant diamond.

This is a versatile cut that looks amazing on its own or you can pair it with a more complex band that features diamonds around the band.

Pear-Cut Diamonds

This is a cut that isn’t as well known as some of the others we look at here. This is a combination of round and marquise cut diamonds. It has one side that ends in a point and the other side is round. And it gives the diamond the slimming effect of a marquise diamond.

However, it also gives the finished ring a more delicate and dainty appearance. They are brilliant-cut so they also have a lot of sparkle and shine.

Oval Diamonds

This is a more modern cut for a diamond. It is growing in popularity. This is popular in engagement rings. This stone has many of the elements of a round-cut brilliant diamond. However, it will be longer and not totally round.
