- What are the best diamond cuts for engagement rings?
The 'best' cut is subjective, but here are some popular options:
- Round Brilliant: Classic, timeless, and maximizes sparkle.
- Princess: Modern, square shape with excellent brilliance.
- Cushion: Vintage charm with softly rounded corners.
- Oval: Elongated shape that flatters the hand.
- Emerald & Asscher: Step cuts emphasizing clarity and an art deco feel.
- Should I buy an engagement ring before I propose, or after?
Many people buy the ring beforehand as part of the traditional surprise proposal. Others prefer to pick the ring together afterward to ensure the design and fit are perfect. It really depends on your personal preference and vision. If you're unsure, our consultants at Peter Norman can help you decide the best approach based on your unique situation.

Whether you’re personalizing one of our existing designs or creating a bespoke piece from scratch, we'll help you choose the right diamond or gemstone, metal, and setting style. Reach out to us for a personalized consultation, and we’ll bring your engagement ring vision to life.
- What size diamond should an engagement ring have?
There’s no one-size-fits-all answer—it depends on personal style, budget, and the significance you want the ring to hold. The average diamond in the U.S. is around 1 carat, but this varies widely. Some people prefer a smaller yet higher-quality diamond, while others prioritize carat weight. At Peter Norman, we help you balance the '4Cs' (carat, cut, clarity, color) within your budget to find the perfect diamond size for you.
- Should I choose a lab-grown or mined diamond?
Lab-Grown Diamonds
- Ethical & Eco-Friendly: Typically have a smaller environmental footprint and more transparent sourcing.
- Value: Often more affordable, allowing you to get a larger or higher-quality stone for the same budget.
Mined Diamonds
- Tradition & Rarity: Have the romantic appeal of forming naturally over millions of years.
- Resale & Investment: Historically, they tend to retain value more consistently.
- What styles are most popular in 2025 for engagement rings?
Current trends combine modern simplicity with timeless design. Popular choices include:
- Modern Solitaires: Sleek bands and a single focal diamond.
- Vintage-Inspired Details: Milgrain, filigree, and art deco elements.
- Elongated Cuts: Oval, emerald, or elongated cushion for a flattering look.
- Subtle Gem Accents: Sapphires or fancy-colored diamonds for a hint of color.
- Hidden Halos or Unique Settings: Extra sparkle beneath the center stone or along the band.
