Is 1-1/6 ct tw a good size for an engagement ring?

It is a solid mid-range size that looks generous on most hands, especially with a princess cut, which faces up large for its weight. Whether it is right depends on your budget and the cut quality of the center stone.

Should I choose princess cut over round?

Princess cuts cost less per carat than round brilliants and give a bold square look. Round cuts are more forgiving on clarity and less prone to corner chipping.

Can this ring be resized?

Many 14K gold rings can be resized, but channel-set or pavé diamond bands limit how much. Ask Kay about resizing this specific style before buying, and note that resizing can affect the warranty.

What is included with the ring?

Expect the ring and a Kay box and paperwork; a diamond grading report is not guaranteed at this price tier. Ask the store whether a certificate or appraisal is included.

When is the best time to buy?

Kay runs frequent promotions around holidays, Valentine's Day and bridal events, and prices swing with those sales. Compare the current price against its recent range before buying.

Is white gold the right metal?

14K white gold is durable and classic, but it is rhodium-plated and needs re-plating every year or two to stay bright. Yellow gold or platinum are alternatives if you want less upkeep.

Our take on the Kay Jewelers Princess-Cut Diamond Engagement Ring 1-1/6 ct tw 14K

A 14K white gold engagement ring from Kay Jewelers set with a princess-cut center diamond and diamond accents totaling 1-1/6 carat (1.17 ct tw). Princess cuts give a square, brilliant look that reads modern rather than classic round. Kay sells it in specific ring sizes, and this listing is size 7. It is a mass-market mall-jeweler ring, so compare its price and diamond quality against local independents before committing.
