Nothing provable, but the choice does signal taste. A cushion reads soft and vintage beside a sharp 1 carat emerald cut, which is why people choose it.
Insurers want proof it existed and proof of value. A valuation or IGI certificate carries more weight than a receipt, and the single-item limit caps payouts.
One is the usual answer, because a second ring dilutes the first. Some couples do give 2, marking different stages, and no tradition forbids it.
Yes. A square or cushion-shaped mount holds a round stone happily, and we do it often when resetting an inherited ring. Expect 4 corners to be built up.
Often, yes. L and M sit below the near-colourless band and show warmth face-up, especially above 1 carat. Yellow gold hides it better than platinum.
Book 3 to 4 months ahead of the wedding day. The December to February engagement rush fills workshop queues, so timing matters more than any sale price.
Say what the ring means before you hand it over, in 2 or 3 plain sentences. Naming the promise matters more than the wording, and engraving can carry it.
Five is the usual count: 4 around the body and 1 V-shaped claw over the point. The point is the thinnest part of the stone and chips first if left bare.
G/H means the stone sits somewhere in the near-colourless band, not at one fixed grade. It is a range, so ask which of the 2 letters yours actually is.
