When it comes to creating a bedazzling affianced finger, engagement rings with side diamonds are the choice of champions. When it is time for a girl to start showing of the ring, you want one that will attract the maximum amount of attention. Announce your happiness to the world with an appropriately bejewelled ring.

Diamonds have been the gemstone of choice for engagement rings for centuries. The Romans attributed various capabilities to diamonds, maintaining that they can counteract poison, prevent insanity, and alleviate fear. The Italians have long called this the ‘Stone of Reconciliation’, and credit it with keeping peace between married couples. For most people, though, it is the diamond’s resilience that strikes a chord. This is the promise that love, like a diamond, will last forever.

Side diamonds
are used to play up the brilliant characteristics of the main stone. Cut in a variety of shapes, they are used to enhance the shape of the centre gem. For example, the elegance of an emerald cut diamond is intensified by a double baguette side arrangement. Diamonds come in a variety of colours, and side diamonds can be chosen in a different, complementary hue. A pink diamond’s rosy brilliance can be amplified by the addition of two pale citron side diamonds.

The choice of a side diamond bedecked ring over a single stone is made easy when you look at women’s reactions to them. It is pretty obvious when you watch them looking at rings. Next time you are at a jewellery store, observe the way people react when they are browsing. See which types of rings get the biggest response. Diamonds are every girl’s best friend, and every girl needs all the friends she can get.
