“This article is published in partnership with Mediabuzzer”

Choosing an engagement ring must rank among the toughest challenges a person can face, and in this blog, we will take a look at centre stone options, which forms the very basis of the ring design, and let’s be honest, it simply has to be a diamond (of which there are many choices).

♦ Coloured diamonds are in vogue. By searching online for jewellers in Brisbane, for example, you can be viewing stunning pink Argyle diamonds, or stones of any colour. If she has a favourite colour, let that be your guide, and the great thing about the online jeweller is he has access to a greater selection of rings and indeed, loose stones, should you wish to design the ring from scratch.

♦ The Princess Cut – The angles and lines of the Princess Cut are designed to get maximum sparkle. With a large centre stone and the right setting, the ring will always have that alluring bling. Some people mistakenly think that a custom diamond engagement ring is out of their reach; there are many custom jewellers who can work to your budget and having a unique, one-of-a-kind ring has special appeal.

♦ Black is Beautiful – If you want a ring that is the centre of attention wherever she goes, a black diamond is an ideal choice. With a raised base and a Princess Cut, a black diamond has a unique appeal that never fails to impress, and with the online jeweller, sourcing one is never an issue.

♦ Use Google Image – If you would like to see many examples of engagement rings with centre stones, Google image is your best friend. If you see one that fits the bill, save the image and show it to a custom jeweller. We often lack inspiration when it comes to design, and by looking at some examples, we might get lucky and find the perfect ring design which the expert jeweller can replicate.

♦ Consider your Own Design – If you talk to a custom jeweller with a view to designing something with a central diamond such as those beautiful diamond engagement rings Brisbane women are wearing, they would have many fine image examples to show you. When you see something that catches your attention, you can hone a design to perfectly match your needs. Most custom jewellers use complex software to create a 3D image of any ring design, which enables the client to actually see how the ring looks, and should you have any special requests, the jeweller would do his best to accommodate.

♦ Yellow Surrounded by Clear Stones – This is an irresistible combination, with a yellow central diamond and a layer of tiny, clear stones surrounding it. There are online jewelers that would have ready-made rings of this type, or you could design your own.

With regard to ring settings, there are many options, but with a central diamond, you do want something that slightly elevates the stone which enables the light to hit every angle. By talking to an established custom jeweler, you can have the benefit of an expert’s opinion. Exploring colours is recommended, and there’s no reason why you can’t mix colours, which would really make for an eye-catching ring.
