Should I go with a Round Cut or Princess Cut for an engagement ring? Also, solitaire or with side stones?

I'm looking into purchasing an engagement ring for my girlfriend. She once mentioned she like the round, but since mentioned princess cut... which way do I go??? Is solitaire the way to go or do I get the side stones? Which style? HELP!!!!

This is a tough question to answer, because you're going to get a ton of opinions. Here's mine:

Personally, I say a Brilliant (round) cut in a classic 6-prong Tiffany setting. When you think "engagement ring" - what image comes to mind?

Nothing says "engagement ring" like a beautifully set solitaire. It's a simple, timeless, elegant classic that will never, ever EVER go out of style. Remember how in the 80s marquise cuts were all the rage? Everyone had one. Now, it's princess cuts. But Asscher cuts are making a comeback. The one stone cut that's never waivered is the brilliant.

If you go with a solitaire, I say no side stones on the band. You can always purchase a "jacket" for her with side stones, colored gem stones, etc. to compliment the ring later.

The other real advantage to the brilliant cut is the ability to have the stone set in a 6-prong setting, whereas a princess can only be set in a 4-prong. The 2 extra prongs provide an extra "security blanket" with your stone. If a prong should get bent or broken (it happens!), the odds of losing the stone are greater with only 3 prongs securing it vs. 5 prongs.
