The price of a diamond increases exponentially with its carat weight. A one-carat diamond costs much more than 10 10-point diamonds. And a two-carat diamond costs more than twice as much as a one-carat diamond (given equal quality in other areas).
One way to enhance the beauty of a ring is with embellishments such as baguettes or trillions. A baguette is a small emerald-shaped diamond that can be placed on either side of the main stones. A trillion is a triangle-shaped diamond that also is a good enhancement to the center stone.
Now only can you choose a special cut for your love, but you can also add smaller diamonds to create a truly memorable diamond ring.
