Choosing the perfect engagement ring is one of the most important decisions when planning a proposal. We spoke with Andy and Emanuel Altundag, founders and owners of Midas Jewellery. They showed us the countless ring styles and diamond shapes on offer at their Sydney boutiques providing newly engaged couples with plenty of options to pick out their perfect ring.
Among their extensive selection of designs, the brothers walked us through the styles that have remained timeless favorites due to their elegance and versatility. In this blog, we will go through Andy and Emanuel’s top three engagement ring recommendations.
1. Round Solitaire Engagement Ring
Andy and Emanuel revealed to us that their round solitaire engagement rings remain their most popular engagement ring sale over their business’ 40 years of operation.
This design features a single round solitaire on a minimal band allowing the diamond to shine without distractions, making it easy to pair with various wedding bands. We learned that the round cut features over 50 facets which enhance light reflection leading to maximum sparkle and brilliance from all angles. No wonder this style is a much loved classic!
Our favourite style is Midas’ Dazzling Round Brilliant Cut Solitaire Engagement Ring which we think is a great example of the timeless sophistication that a round solitaire engagement ring offers as it strikes the perfect balance between elegance and luxury.
This ring is available in 18 Carat White, Yellow and Rose Gold, combinations along with Platinum 950. Click here to learn more about this product: https://midasjewellery.com.au/products/dazzling-round-brilliant-cut-solitaire?_pos=5&_sid=3d0bd8003&_ss=r
2. Oval-Shaped Engagement Ring
For those who love the brilliance of a round diamond but desire something unique, Andy and Emanuel showed us that oval-shaped engagement rings are a stunning alternative. The Altundag brothers told us that this shape gives the impression of a longer and more slender finger which their customers love.
Oval diamonds offer a fresh take on traditional styles while sharing the timeless beauty of a single stone solitaire and it is no wonder why it is a highly sought after design. They revealed that compared to a round diamond of the same carat weight, an oval diamond appears bigger due to its lengthened design, which provides great value for any couple looking to impress with this unique style.
We think that Midas’ Oval Cut with Four Claw Set Diamond Engagement Ring is a stunning choice. Complementing a brilliant oval diamond centrepiece with a pavé band design, this ring’s design is the perfect embodiment of well designed luxury.

3. Pear-Shaped Engagement Ring
Last but certainly not least, Andy and Emanuel walked us through the collection of pear-shaped engagement rings. Based on their decades of industry expertise, they told us that behind this design’s popularity is the combination of the best features of round and marquise cuts, which creates a teardrop shape exuding elegance and sophistication. They add that the ring’s asymmetrical design is popular among many couples as it emanates unconventional beauty, providing a unique and eye-catching aesthetic. Similar to oval diamonds, they revealed that the pear shape enhances the wearer’s appearance of slender fingers, however the main difference is that it can be worn with the pointed end facing up or down offering versatility for the bride to be.
We really like our Pear Cut Seamless Halo Dazzling Diamond Engagement Ring. We think this design perfectly showcases the stunning pear shaped diamond and makes it more exquisite by surrounding the stone with a halo of smaller diamonds, increasing its brilliance and opulence.
This ring is available in 18 Carat White, Yellow and Rose Gold along with Platinum 950. Click here to learn more about this product: https://midasjewellery.com.au/products/dazzling-pear-shape-with-seamless-diamond-halo
