Round Brilliant Cut Diamond Rings

For generations, couples have chosen Round Brilliant Cut diamonds for their engagement rings. Also called the round solitaire, round diamond engagement ring, or the round solitaire engagement ring, round brilliant cut diamonds are popular because the round cut has perfect proportions giving it the maximum sparkle possible.

The round cut diamond has been around since the 1700s. Still, the modern round brilliant cut we know and love was developed in the early 1900s by Marcel Tolkowsky, a mathematician, who calculated the exact proportions to create the most light-catching diamond possible.

Today the RBC diamond boasts 57 – 58 carefully aligned facets making the round brilliant cut diamond one of the most beautiful stones in the world.

Customising a Round Brilliant Cut Engagement Ring 

If you are looking for a bespoke round brilliant cut (or RBC for short) engagement ring, Bell & Brunt has a lot to offer. From your desired carat size to excellent cut, metal choices and design options, each aspect of your ring is carefully curated to give you the perfect ring.

The size of the diamond impacts the cost and the design of the ring. A carat size of 0.5 to 1 is ideal for a round engagement ring. Choose a more significant piece if you want to make a statement. On the other hand, smaller diamonds represent elegance. The GIA (Gemological Institute of America) grades diamond colour from D to Z, with D being completely colourless and the rarest. Choose a diamond with minimum inclusions for a better quality diamond that doesn’t have black spots or look murky.

Why Choose a Round Diamond

Engagement Ring?

Round diamonds are evergreen. They never go out of style. A round diamond is therefore ideal for engagement rings. Round cut diamonds are versatile as they suit everyone’s hand shapes. When choosing your custom round brilliant cut diamond engagement ring, choose the right setting. Diamonds look best in platinum or white gold because the white tone enhances the diamond’s colour. And if you prefer timeless yellow gold, consider white gold settings to keep your diamond nice and white. 

While the bezel is the most robust setting for diamond engagement rings, a claw setting lets the light enter deep into the stone and reflect brilliantly. Go for a four-prong claw for a modern square look or opt for a six-prong claw for a traditional even look.

How Much does the RBC Solitaire Engagement Ring Cost?     

According to a Q report, on average Australians spend around $12,000 – $14,000 on round brilliant cut solitaire engagement rings. Several factors affect the cost of a round brilliant cut solitaire. The carat size is one. Better quality diamonds are more expensive than lesser quality diamonds. For example, a 0.50-carat RBC engagement ring with the highest grade D colour and VS clarity can cost around $9000. Retail stores produce average colour and clarity round brilliant cut solitaire diamond rings for around $5000. These are much lower colour grading starting at I-J colour which looks yellow-brown in tone and I/P clarity which means visible inclusions. Custom RBC engagement rings are more expensive, but only because you can choose high quality diamonds and metals for a longer lasting engagement ring.
