What Your Engagement Ring Shape Says About You

by Niki McGloster

Like any other wedding-obsessed 20-something, I watch "Say Yes To The Dress" religiously.

But if we're being honest, fussing over a gown I'll only wear once seems more ridiculous than Jay Z's demands on tour.

Peony arrangements and Vera Wang embroidery have piqued women's interests since the days of Barbie dolls and hopscotch. However, choosing the right engagement ring is more important than any other wedding decision you'll make, no matter the grandeur or simplicity of the proposal.

The cut outweighs the couture.

A diamond's shape shows whether you're more of a Mila Kunis or a Solange. The multi-carat diamond is a litmus test for how well your beau knows you.

Bottom line: The ring you'll wear every day is much mightier than the dress.
