PULSE - PULSE - Age-Old Question, Brand-New Rings - NYTimes.com

Unlike a conventional emerald-cut diamond, which has flatter, more rectangular facets, the Lucida has the more sparkly, snowflake-like facets of a round diamond.

Priced at $1,400 in 18-karat white or yellow gold, the ring can be turned into a pendant by swiveling a concentric inner band outward 90 degrees. The Astrolove can then be worn on a chain, just in case those vows turn out to be a little less eternal than originally planned. ELLEN TIEN

Available in platinum or 18-karat gold at all Tiffany stores, the Lucida rings start at $2,000 for a one-third carat diamond. The largest Lucida diamond weighs slightly more than four carats.

Tiffany came out with its Lucida ring earlier this month, its first new diamond engagement ring since 1886. The stone in a Lucida ring is set into four prongs, and in shape, it resembles a square with each of the corners slightly snipped off.

It's prime time for the ultimate ultimatum: ''Marry me by the year 2000, or else.''

Also in time for the New Year's marriage rush is Cartier's Astrolove ring, a redesign of the Love ring that Cartier introduced 30 years ago.

And for suitors under the gun, Tiffany & Company and Cartier are offering two new ways to propose.
