Are you looking to buy the perfect ring? When searching for a ring, whether it is for a special gift or a marriage proposal, there are a few things you must pay attention to in order to ensure that your ring is flawless. One of the most important elements when purchasing a ring is what cut and shape to choose. The cut of a stone affects the way the ring feels, the way it shines, and of course, how effective it will be at taking her breath away. So, how does one select the right cut? If you're not interested in going the direct route and asking your mate to pick their rock, look to these tips for a little direction in your search.

Any style of diamond cutting other than the round brilliant is called a fancy cut or fancy shape. The top three cuts for diamonds and gemstones are the Asscher cut, Princess cut and Cushion cut.

Resembling an octagon, the Asscher cuts hit its peak in popularity in the early 1920's and disappeared only to make its comeback in 2001 when significant amounts of research showcased additional facets and new specifications for a more enticing luster. Asscher is a very modern and chic cut that will look beautiful on longer fingers.

The Princess cut is equally breath taking, but hugely different. Because of the square shape, a ring with a princess cut stone will have maximum sparkle. Beautiful to look at, the princess cut is a little fragile because its sharp corners make it more likely to chip. If it's going to be this beauty, you just have to make sure that the setting is prepared to protect all four corners of the stone.

The cushion cut resembles the Old Mine cut with larger facets that similar to those from the late 19th and early 20th century cuts married with today's oval cut. Cushions can vary a little in their shape. Some may be a longer rectangular, have squarer corners with varying sized tables.

what should i look for when trying to select the perfect cushion cut diamond? should i concentrate more on finding a square cushion as opposed to a rectangular cushion?

if the dimentions of the diamond are not as close to a perfect square, will the cushion diamond loose some of its sparkle?
