			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Baguette engagement rings usually have another cut of diamond as the main stone. The baguette diamond stones are usually on the band to help the sparkle and brilliance of the ring to come forward. There are Baguette engagement rings <span id="more-535"></span>where several baguette stones are cut and placed together to make the center stone, but this is an exception instead of the rule. This is possible because of the geometric cut. When placed side by side, there will be no gaps seen unless looked at closely.</p>
<p>The baguette stones that line the ring can be of any shape but are usually elongated rectangles that run down the sides of the rings. When an engagement ring is presented and baguette diamonds are present, the presenter can boast of more carats which at times can be impressive. This is lower in cost than one big diamond.</p>
<p>This stone cut first became popular in the early 20th century with the Art Deco and Art Nouveau movements. The geometric design of the stones gave its straight clean cut a symmetric appearance that was very fashionable. Most of the stones that are set in the baguette engagement rings are less than one carat in weight. Because of this small size most are characterized by size instead of weight. The most popular size has a length to width ratio of 1.5 to 1.0.</p>

<p>The baguette cut is considered a step size cut. This cut only has 14 facets on it. Because of the fewer facets, the quality and clarity of the diamond should be good or it will be noticeable.</p>
<p>Baguette engagement rings can be less expensive than other cuts available but it is more common to use this cut in the rings band itself to accent another type of cut for the center piece.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><em>The Lure and Meaning of Emerald Engagement Rings</em></strong></p>
<p>If your<img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-221" title="emerald and diamond engagement rings" src="http://www.thediamondalternative.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/emerald-and-diamond-engagement-rings.jpg" alt="emerald and diamond engagement rings" width="372" height="350" /> ring is going to be different, don’t just let it be strange, let it mean something. You have to choose a ring that actually says something without saying anything. You should be able to get down on one knee, open that box, and see her nodding her head before you even get the words out. Her quick reply won’t be because she’s in love with the jewelry, but because she’s in love with a person who knows her enough to get a ring that is absolutely perfect.</p>
<p>You can’t send that message any better than you can with the enviable green majesty of an emerald engagement ring. Known for being the sacred stone of the Greek goddess Venus, emeralds have also been long associated with bringing reason and wisdom to those who wear it.</p>
<p>Beautiful by itself or accented by diamonds, an emerald will complement any skin tone. It does look especially nice though, against caramel skin or for anyone with olive colored undertones. Extremely refractive, emeralds will shine in any light, and it’s guaranteed to be a beauty she’ll be proud to show off to her friends. The only difference between an emerald and an aquamarine is that the emerald has less air bubbles in the stone itself, which produces the much darker green color.</p>
<p>You can find emerald engagement rings at almost any of your local jewelers. If you are hunting for something more than extraordinary, you may need to go online or search in your phone book for jewelers that do custom emerald engagement rings. That way, you can choose every facet of the most important ring she’ll ever wear.</p>
<p>At www.israeldiamonds.com, you can design your own emerald engagement ring right online. They have selections for bands, settings, metal, and type of gemstone. You can select the color, cut, and clarity of the stone as well. Good luck in your search for the emerald that matches her eyes.</p>
