3. What diamond shape do I want?
The diamond shape is a crucial element that influences the overall style and look of the engagement ring. We offer a dazzling array of classic diamond shapes such as round, oval, or emerald-cut, as well as more unique shapes like marquise, princess, or cushion-cut. Each shape exudes a distinct personality, allowing you to select a ring that perfectly complements your style.
While round-cut diamonds have rightfully earned their reputation as a classic and timeless choice for engagement rings, at Buchroeders Jewelers, we believe in the importance of finding the perfect fit for your individual preferences and the overall look you wish to achieve. Each diamond shape possesses its unique look and personality, and the best way to determine which one suits you best is to try them on in person. While you may be drawn to the brilliance and elegance of a round-cut diamond, you might find that other shapes, such as the elongated elegance of an oval or the striking facets of an emerald-cut, resonate with your personal style and fit your hand better. Visit our store to experience trying on every diamond shape and discovering the one that speaks to you.
4. Which center stone choice is right for me?

Whether you're considering a natural diamond, lab-grown diamond, moissanite, or colored gemstones, we have the perfect center stone for you. Natural diamonds are renowned for their timeless beauty and enduring value, while lab-grown diamonds offer a more budget conscious alternative while still being considered a diamond. Moissanite is a stunning and budget-friendly option with exceptional brilliance, closely resembling diamonds. If you desire a unique and personalized touch, colored gemstones add a pop of color and individuality to your engagement ring.
Our knowledgeable staff will walk you through the characteristics and benefits of each center stone, helping you make an informed decision that aligns with your values and style preferences. Whatever your choice may be, we guarantee it will make a beautiful center stone to your engagement ring.
