'Do you want a standout solo stone? Are you intrigued by antique styles? Or maybe into a design that feels a bit more unique? Once you've nailed the general vibe of your ideal wedding ring, that can help you narrow in on what appeals to you specifically', Stone and Strand jewellery store founder Nadine Kahane tells Refinery29. Vintage cuts Vintage heirloom and cushion cuts scream nostalgia and elegance, giving a chic one-of-a-kind feel to them.

While oval diamonds are typically set in a vertical direction like Ayanda's, stars like actor Zendaya have experimented with the rare horizontal setting, enhancing the natural beauty of the stone.
