While size will influence cost, and your bank account will influence that, take some time to really think about the different kinds of diamond cuts, and what message you want your ring to send. Are you a classic cut kind of person? Or more of someone who likes a little flair? Figuring out which cut works best for the occasion will help alleviate some of the stress that comes along with choosing a diamond, and make the choice so much more personal and special.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row margin_bottom=&#8221;100px&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p class=\"outline2\" style=\"margin-bottom: 25px;\">You Might Find These Interesting<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a title=\"Marquise Diamonds\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomingring.com\/marquise-diamonds\/\">Marquise Diamonds<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"Cushion Cut Engagement Rings\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomingring.com\/blog\/cushion-cut-engagement-rings\/\">Cushion Cut Engagement Rings<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"Choose the right diamond shape for your finger\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomingring.com\/article-topics\/choosing-the-right-diamond-shape-for-your-finger\/\">Choosing the Right Diamond Shape for your Finger<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text][sc:bottomofarticle][\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Guide to the top 3 diamond cuts as well as references and guides to other diamond shapes and cuts to help you find the perfect diamond for your perfect ring.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":8784,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[249,193],"tags":[254,255,252,253,251,250],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bloomingbeautyring.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8764"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bloomingbeautyring.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bloomingbeautyring.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bloomingbeautyring.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bloomingbeautyring.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8764"}],"version-history":[{"count":21,"href":"https:\/\/bloomingbeautyring.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8764\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9017,"href":"https:\/\/bloomingbeautyring.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8764\/revisions\/9017"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bloomingbeautyring.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8784"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bloomingbeautyring.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8764"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bloomingbeautyring.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8764"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bloomingbeautyring.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8764"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
