5 CARAT ENGAGEMENT RINGS

The worth of a 5-carat diamond ring will range depending on the diamond shape, diamond grade, and the ring setting. While carat weight greatly impacts a diamond’s value and price, higher quality diamonds and more popular diamond shapes can be worth considerably more. 

A 5-carat diamond ring is big, but not too big for an engagement ring. A diamond of this size will attract considerable attention and is perfect for diamond lovers.

A Round Brilliant cut diamond is one of the most popular shape for an engagement ring and will look true to size at 5 carats. If you prefer size over all else, then elongated diamond shapes like an Oval or Marquise cut would be best for you, as they maximize their carat weight. The setting you choose should protect any sharp points or corners for a diamond of this size. This means that a Pear or Princess cut diamond may limit your setting selection.

The diamond shape and ring setting will determine how big a 5-carat diamond ring looks. Certain diamond shapes appear larger than they are, while other shapes appear smaller face-up. Select ring settings will make your 5-carat diamond appear even larger, such as a Halo, Hidden Halo, or Bezel setting. You can view how big each 5-carat VRAI created diamond ring will look online.

The best setting for a 5-carat diamond ring is the one that best enhances and protects the diamond. All VRAI engagement ring settings are designed for any carat weight. But, depending on your lifestyle, we may recommend choosing a setting that offers enhanced protection. Bezel settings are considered the most secure setting as they cover the entire diamond, including its points, corners, and edges. A 6 or 8 Prong setting, as well as a Halo setting, will also offer additional protection for your 5-carat diamond.
