Do marquise diamonds look bigger than round diamonds?

Yes. The marquise has the largest face-up area of any diamond shape, making a 1ct marquise appear 15–20% larger than a 1ct round. If visual size is your priority, the marquise delivers the most dramatic impact per carat.

Does yellow gold make a diamond look yellow?

A yellow gold setting can reflect warm tones into the stone, which is why pairing yellow gold with G colour or above is recommended for a bright appearance. Alternatively, some choose yellow gold intentionally to complement a warmer stone for a cohesive, vintage look.

What is the difference between side stone and halo engagement rings?

Side stone rings have small diamonds along the band but not surrounding the centre stone. Halo rings have a complete frame of diamonds around the centre. Side stone designs offer extra sparkle with a cleaner, more streamlined look.

What size diamond can I get for under £1,500?

With a lab-grown diamond, you can expect a 0.7ct–1ct centre stone in this price range, depending on the setting style and metal choice. Solitaire settings in white gold offer the most stone for your budget.
