Engagement Rings
Diamonds come in all shapes and sizes, but finding the perfect stone for the bride-to-be can be overwhelming. There are so many beautiful characteristics about each and every stone that make it unique and we love sharing them with you. When you let Croghan's be your Fifth C, we will help guide you to the perfect diamond starting with the shape.
Round Brilliant

ROUND BRILLIANT

Round Brilliant cut diamonds are the most popular choice for the classic bride. Elegant and romantic, they are said to signify an eternal love, for a circle has no end.

EMERALD CUT

Iconic, like Grace Kelly, an emerald cut diamond is a statement of beauty, refined elegance, and unequivocally beautiful.

OVAL

Taking a close second to round brilliant in popularity, the oval has become very popular with modern brides. Known for their ability to elongate the hands and their illusion of size, these diamonds rival the beauty of round brilliant cuts and have a unique bowtie effect across the center. 

CUSHION

Derived from Old Mine cut diamonds, the cushion cut diamond dates back to the 1700s. Sometimes referred to as crushed ice, this diamond was born to shine. Catching the light of anything in sight, they are pillow-like in shape, timeless with soft edges and have between 58 and 64 facets. 

PEAR

Cut like a round brilliant with 58 facets but with the tip of a marquise diamond, this stone, like an oval, has an elongating effect on the hand and is perceived much bigger than its carat weight. A pear is perfect for the bride who wants something striking, but romantic.
