From princess to cushion cut, here's everything you need to know about a girl's best friend, featuring Forevermark's diamond engagement rings
Diamonds are forever, so when it comes to engagement rings, choosing a ring that suits your style and personality is of utmost importance (since you're already sharing that 'Engagement Ring Designs' Pinterest board with your boyfriend anyway). While we've seen a rise of unconventional designs—rose gold rings, architectural shapes and the use of multi-coloured gemstones, classic designs remain a classic for a reason.


There's just something inherently alluring about a sparkling diamond set in pristine white gold, perhaps surrounded by a diamond halo that makes our heart skip a beat—and Forevermark aims to ignite that exact feeling. To make your promise of everlasting commitment that bit more special, here's something else you need to know—invisible to the naked eye, each Forevermark diamond is inscribed with the brand's logo and a unique identification number, symbolising its promise: that each diamond is beautiful, rare and responsibly sourced, and only one per cent of these stones in the world are eligible for that inscription.
Here, we highlight five timeless shapes, and delve into what makes them a classic:

ALL OVAL YOU
Did you know that oval shaped diamonds generally appear larger compared to round diamonds even though they are of the same carat weight? Its larger surface gives off an illusion of a bigger stone, not to mention it is one of the cuts which has maximum brilliance. But what we love most, is how the oval shape flatters almost every finger size—especially for those who want the illusion of a more slender finger.

HEART TO HEART
Wear your heart on your sleeve, and on your finger—there's no better way to express one's affection than with the ultimate symbol of love. Possibly the most intricate shape of them all, the diamond has to be cut with the best proportions to create its unique shape. The halo of pavé diamonds help to enhance its brilliance.

GOOD THINGS COME IN PEARS
If you prefer something more traditional, the pear shaped diamond is made for you. Created in the 15th century, this cut has survived the test of time for good reason. A combination of both round and marquise shapes to form a beautiful teardrop, we love that this cut is bold yet versatile. Wear the ring with its tip pointing upwards or downwards, it's your call.

FIT FOR A PRINCESS
Want something with a modern twist? The princess shape will fit the bill. One of the most preferred cuts after round diamond, this diamond shape is cut with four pointed corners to showcase its sparkle—it's your best pick if you'd like a contemporary design with the added sparkle.

PILLOW TALK
Essentially a square diamond with rounded edges for a softer appeal, the cushion cut got its name from its pillow-like appearance, and remains a popular choice till this day. A closer look at the diamond shows the hearts and arrows pattern, reflecting its perfect symmetry. Result? It radiates elegance and femininity like no other.
