For those looking for something a little more contemporary, mixed diamond cut engagement rings are a great choice. As their name implies, these rings feature a mixture of cuts in a single ring. Although they are similar to cluster rings in some ways, what makes these rings unique is the way that they balance cuts. Straighter shapes are placed alongside rounder shapes, smaller stones are placed next to larger stones, and diamonds are arranged to create a truly unique ring. Whether you go for more subtle designs or something bolder, we’ve put together a few examples for you to see whether mixed diamond cuts are a good choice for your custom engagement ring.
Gorgeous Mixed Diamond Cut Engagement Rings
Here are just a few ideas on how you could incorporate mixed diamond cuts in engagement rings.
Floral Detail

Nature-inspired and floral rings are perfect for anyone wanting a feminine ring. There are many ways to bring in floral elements. Petals placed as side stones result in a pretty yet simple ring. In this design, added detail such as milgrain further enhances the delicate look of the ring. The oval stone is gently rounded, while the petals are filled with tiny round diamonds. Another option could be to add tiny marquise side stones instead. This ring works well in any metal – rose gold adds a touch of romance, though.
Split Shank

At first glance, this ring looks like it has a very large centre diamond. Take a closer look and you will see that it features a number of different diamonds in various cuts and sizes. Baguette diamonds are positioned from the centre to the edges of the ring, while round diamonds sit on the top and bottom alongside smaller stones. A halo, pave-encrusted split shank further adds to the design.
Gold Heart

For something simple, pretty, and romantic, this ring shows that mixed cut rings don’t have to be overly bold. A heart-shaped diamond sits in the centre of the ring, with a series of round diamonds positioned on each side in clusters. A delicate gold band adds the final touch.
Rose Tutu

Ballerina or tutu rings are known for their design, which features a series of stones that surround the centre diamond in the shape of a tutu. Baguette stones are typically used for the tutu. In this ring, round stones are included as well, adding more detail. The pave band, rose gold, and prong settings make this ring bold and beautiful.
Pear Cluster

Perfect for stacking, this type of ring is simple, elegant, and just unique enough to catch the eye. Rather than taking a bold approach, this cluster ring keeps it subtle. A series of stones in different shapes and sizes are positioned on a simple band, ensuring lots of sparkle. This is a great choice if you want an alternative to a large single-stone ring.
Three Stone

Who says three-stone rings have to be traditional? This ring gives a contemporary twist to the trinity style. Rather than a conventional placement, stones are placed at angles. A marquise stone takes centre stage to represent your present, a baguette stone sits to the right to represent your future and a round stone sits just below to represent your past. A pave-encrusted band adds the finishing touch to this stunning run.
