The diamonds found in jewelry stores around Houston come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, colors, and – most importantly – quality. So where do you start and what should you look for?

For basic diamonds, Houston stores start with a variety of different cuts. These cuts can make the difference between fairly inexpensive rings and very expensive engagement rings.

The round diamond is the most popular of all the diamond cuts. Its simple shape and elegant sparkle attract the eye, and they are one of the more affordable cuts of diamond. Houston stores everywhere will carry plenty of round diamond engagement rings, as this is the best-selling cut of diamonds.

Princess diamond cuts are another popular variation. Houston retailers will also carry an inventory of princess-cut diamonds. Its unique cut is a crowd-pleaser, and it shines brilliantly. Here the diamond is cut into more of a square shape, and the final shape is tailored for as much light reflection as possible.

Heart diamonds are not as easy to find in local Houston jewelry retailers. The cut is just as it sounds: a diamond cut in the shape of a sparkling heart. If you feel this romantic setting is for you, you can always build your own engagement ring and incorporate the heart diamond. They may be hard to find elsewhere, but Intercontinental Jewelers would love to help make this dream a reality for you.

Other great cuts of diamonds include the oval diamond, the emerald diamond, and the cushion diamond. With so many different choices to make, how can one choose the cut of diamond to suit your personal style? Choosing among all these complicated choices usually involves a conversation with your future fiancé, a mother/sister, or best friend to see what she likes. Many women are very particular as to what kinds of diamond cuts they prefer to have. Because you want the wedding proposal to be perfect, it’s important to know what your future fiance likes seeing as you are presenting her with something she will wear for the rest of her life.
