To make it easier for you, we’ve come up with some tips that will help you choose from all the different shapes available for you! \u003C/p>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">There are three things you need to consider before making your choice: the finger shape and size, your style, and the ring setting you’re going for. \u003C/p>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">\u003Cstrong>The Finger Shape and Size\u003C/strong>\u003C/p>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">\u003Cstrong>\u003Cimg src=\"https://uploadmediastorage.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/friendlydiamonds/blogstaticimg/usa/best-diamond-shape-for-engagement-ring/Frame%2019.png\" alt=\"ENGAGEMENT RINGS\" width=\"1152\" height=\"1000\">\u003C/strong>\u003C/p>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">\u003Cstrong>\u003Ca style=\"display: inline-block; font-size: 14px; padding: 8px 18px; color: #000; border: 1px solid #000; text-transform: uppercase; font-weight: 600; width: 100%; text-align: center;\" title=\"ENGAGEMENT RINGS\" href=\"https://friendlydiamonds.com/ring-settings\">SHOP ENGAGEMENT RINGS\u003C/a>\u003C/strong>\u003C/p>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">An engagement ring will add to the radiance of your partner, so you must make your choice based on the \u003Ca href=\"https://friendlydiamonds.com/blog/engagement-ring-finger\">finger size\u003C/a> and shape. Elongated cuts like oval, marquise, or pear look best on short or small fingers. These cuts create the illusion of slender fingers and balance out the length. \u003C/p>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">If you’re buying an engagement ring for someone with long fingers, then it is a good idea to go for bigger shapes like round, emerald, and princess cut. These shapes will add more proportional symmetry to the fingers while enhancing their beauty. \u003C/p>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">Large and full fingers need diamond shapes like marquise and pear so the engagement ring doesn’t add extra width. These shapes can help add length to the fingers, creating an elegant effect.\u003C/p>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">\u003Cstrong>Personal Style\u003C/strong>\u003C/p>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">Forget everything you’ve ever heard about choosing the perfect diamond shape for your engagement ring. If you love the classic beauty of princess cut shaped diamonds, then there’s no one stopping you from choosing this cut! An engagement ring will become your forever sparkle and if it has the beauty of your favorite diamond cut, it becomes even more special. You should choose the shape your partner already loves to make that ‘Yes!’ even happier! \u003C/p>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">Just like how there’s a unique diamond shape for you, selecting the right setting for your diamond cut is also important. While the solitaire setting brings out the beauty of an emerald cut diamond perfectly, it can easily be said that a round cut diamond looks extremely beautiful in a \u003Ca href=\"https://friendlydiamonds.com/ring-settings/halo-engagement-rings\">halo setting\u003C/a>.
