			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-356" title="customize_antique_ring" src="http://blog.markbroumand.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/customize_antique_ring.jpg" alt="" width="398" height="306" />Antique jewelry pieces are typically passed down through the family for generations, so it can be a real tragedy if they get broken. It is not uncommon for the settings of diamond pieces to weaken over time, and by the time the antique piece falls into your hands, some of the stones may be missing or damaged.</p>
<p>If the antique piece of jewelry is something worth saving, you should reconsider restoring your ring. If you need to replace a missing center diamond, you can easily fix it with a <a href="http://www.markbroumand.com/loose-diamonds.aspx">loose diamond</a>. Or, if the diamond was damaged or of poor quality, you can replace it with a more beautiful diamond that is more suited to your tastes.</p>
<p>Maybe your antique ring is beautiful, but the diamond isn&#8217;t large enough for your engagement ring. You can alter the setting to allow a bigger, more beautiful diamond to be placed into the antique ring.</p>
<p>Replacing the diamond is as easy as filling out a form with the requirements as far as size and shape go, to give you the specifications needed to get a diamond that is perfect for your antique diamond ring.</p>
<p>Loose <a href="http://www.markbroumand.com/">round brilliant cuts</a>, <a href="http://www.markbroumand.com/quote-ring-setting.aspx">radiant cuts</a>, marquise cuts, and cushion cuts are just a few of the choices of cuts that you can consider when looking for a replacement stone for your antique ring. Replacing the cut on the ring can transform the ring from something that is dated and overly traditional, to something that is perfect for you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The best diamond cut is whatever cut reflects you and your partner and what you will want to wear on your hand for years to come. At MarkBroumand.com, we offer several different styles and cuts for you to choose from. You’ll browse through our selection with ease as you turn through the pages of our large selection of diamond engagement rings.</p>
<p>Round Brilliant Cuts are a very popular choice because they incorporate a combination of clarity, color, cut, and carat weight. They became very popular through the century due to the fact that diamond cutters were always trying to make the perfect round diamond. Over years of perfection, the round brilliant cut came to be.</p>
<p>Another very popular choice of cut is the Princess Cut Diamond. The Princess Cut has sharp, uncut, bold corners which allows the shine and sparkle to reflect from the diamond brilliantly. At MarkBroumand.com, our Princess Cut Engagement Rings come in modern, antique, and solitaire styles which will make choosing the best one very easy.</p>
<p>Oval Cut Diamonds are based “upon the configurations of the round brilliant diamond.” The surface area of the oval diamond is much larger than the round brilliant cut with the same carat weight. This allows customers to choose between bigger sizes with the same price. The oval shape also elongates the appearance of the hand due to the length of the oval.</p>
<p>We also carry several other cuts, including: emerald diamond cuts, heart shaped diamonds, asscher cuts, marquise, pear, and cushion cuts. All are beautiful, unique, and competitively priced and ready for you to take home.</p>
