| Art Deco Engagement Rings: |
The architectural and decorative style from which Art Deco Engagement Rings adopted their look was known as Art Deco and derived its name from .L'Exposition Internationale des Arts D�ratifs et Industriels Modernes, or The Exposition of Decorative Arts and Modern Manufactures. held in Paris in 1925. Characterized by its highly stylized geometric shapes and the strong use of symmetry.
Art deco engagement rings were born in Paris in the early 20th century, a eclectic artistic design style which has been very influential in many facets of decorative arts in the early part of the 20th century. At its height it was seen as something at its height of elegance, glamour and modern style. Art deco was originally in vogue during the 1920s and 30s, but since then it has still seen many resurgence's in popularity and that is why such things like these have never really gone out of fashion. These engagement rings have benefited from an explosion of influences, from king tut to the Paris exposition which have all contributed to make the art deco style what it is.
Today art deco bridal rings, like other old fashioned designs such as asscher cut engagement rings, Edwardian and other antique engagement rings are often made by jewelers catering to the particular taste of a couple and their needs. New rings can still purvey the art deco style, but at the same time also incorporating modern cuts and diamond shapes. Stones which were not included in original art deco wedding bands can now be included in the modern ones, bringing a sense of modernity as well as keeping a sense of tradition in the wedding band, for example: tanzanite and aquamarine.
MDC Diamonds NY offers modern reproduction of Art deco engagement rings.

| Baguette Engagement Rings: |
These are the most common side stones used in engagement rings. Some might argue that a ring with tapered baguettes should not be called a three stone ring; it should be called a solitaire. This is because baguettes are really not an extension of the center stone. They are set on the "Cathedral' part of the shank.

Gemstone Color:
The color scale is used to describe the color present within a gemstone. For gemstones, color is described in terms of tone and hue.
Gemstone Clarity:
Because gemstones form under unique circumstances, each individual gemstone is comprised of a combination of trace minerals, which create a unique set of identifying marks or inclusions.
Flawlessness in colored gemstones is not as sought after as it is in diamonds. Some varieties of colored gemstones, such as aquamarine, blue topaz, and citrine, have naturally fewer inclusions while other gemstones, such as emerald and ruby, tend to have a higher rate of acceptable inclusions.
Gemstone Size:
A gemstone's size is represented by the its diameter, length, or width (in millimeters).
Though gemstones can also be measured by carat weight , the varying densities of different gemstones makes this an inaccurate way to judge size.

| Half Moon Diamond Engagement Rings: |
The Half Moon diamonds are used mainly for side stones and have the shape of half a round or half an oval diamond. They have a straight edge on one side and curved side on the other.
Half moon diamonds look great as side stones with square or rectangular center stones such as Princess, Radiant or Emerald because they have one straight side. Because of the rounded edge, half moon diamonds complement well oval shaped stones. Half moons are now a popular choice for side stones in cushion cut diamond rings.
The early diamond cutters shaped half moons diamonds from broken rounds and ovals. The challenge for the diamond cutter was not only cutting the stones to the same proportions but also from finding broken stones with the same color. Today the big demand for half moon shaped diamonds requires that cutters cut large numbers of half moon diamonds in various shapes, colors, and sizes. Then sorters find matched pairs that are kept together to be sold as side stones.
A well cut half moon shaped diamond will show brightness and sparkle from end to end.
Demilune is another name for diamonds shaped like the half or crescent phase of the moon.
Hundreds of mounting styles look great with half moon cut diamonds

| Pave Engagement Rings: |
From the French word for pavement, these stones are set low and very close, so that the surface appears to be paved with gemstones. Pav� settings most commonly feature diamonds, but any gemstone may be used.
Pave settings for an engagement ring can be absolutely breathtaking.
A pave diamond ring is one that is encrusted with very small diamonds
all along the band to give the appearance of a solid diamond surface,
rather than a metal band. Because pave-set diamonds use only tiny
beads or prongs to hold them in place, very little of the metal band
shows through and the diamonds all appear to be free-standing.
Settings like this can either go around the whole band (full pave) or
stop halfway around (half pave). Most people find a full pave
setting visually impressive, but prefer the comfort of a half pave
setting, as the tiny diamonds are less likely to rub against the other
fingers. Also, a full pave ring can almost be too much brilliance,
drawing attention away from the center diamond.
Typically, Round brilliant or Princess cut diamonds are used as center
stones in pave engagement rings, since the brilliance and fire of the
setting itself doesn't require a fancy center gem. Most center stones
are prong-set, basket-set or bezel-set, as these styles separate the
focal diamond apart from the setting.
Micro pave rings are even more delicate and intricate than regular
pave settings. The individual stones are so small that they appear to
blend together and create extraordinary fire. Also, because the
diamonds are smaller than in a traditional pave setting, the surface
is much smoother and less likely to rub against the other fingers.

| Trapezoids Engagement Rings: |
Step cut trapezoids or "traps", as they are commonly called, are a clever modification of a straight baguette. Trapezoid diamonds are tapered on both ends to form a trapeze. This perspective view of straight baguettes allows for a graceful transition from a large center stone to a narrow shank of the ring.
They work great with other step cut stones such as an emerald cut or Asscher cut. They are also a nice fit as part of a traps/bullet combination, which is popular in five stone rings. Trapezoid stones work best next to elongated stones with a straighter side. These stones are not preferable next to round or oval stones.

| White Gold Engagement Rings: |
Because 18k white gold is 75% gold, and 14k white gold is 58.3% gold, jewelry made from these metals has a slight yellow color. To enhance the whiteness, almost all white gold is plated with rhodium, a shiny, white metal which is extremely hard. Depending on the amount of wear to a piece of jewelry, over time this rhodium plating may wear off, revealing the original metal color. Re-plating is a simple process that can be done to restore your jewelry's whiteness if needed.
