Diamond Engagement Ring

The engagement ring with a diamond can be called a real classic among jewelry. There are many variations: yellow or white gold, platinum, with a small, medium or large diamond, etc. Now with a huge number of jewelry stores and the ability to make a jewel to order, the choice of rings is just incredible. But the essence of them all the same boils down to one thing - this is a joyful and exciting gift to the second half as a sign of eternal love.

First you need to decide on the size, because no one wants to get into an awkward situation, when on a solemn day it turns out that the ring does not fit or is much larger than necessary. To determine the value is quite easy

• If the girl's rings are constantly “in the open access”, then there will be no difficulties, you just need to take one of them and show the seller when choosing.
• If there is no such simple opportunity to reach the jewelry, then you can always gently withdraw your favorite one on this topic, most likely in the conversation she herself will mention the size of a finger.
• Well, if neither one nor the other opportunity presented itself, you can simply ask people close to her: mothers, girlfriends, some of them know this information for sure.

In addition, it is important to understand exactly what product will like and suit the chosen one in style, because if you choose, guided only by your own desires, you can buy absolutely not what you need.

So, questions about the size and appearance have been left behind, but it’s too early to proceed directly to choosing a ring. Buying an engagement jewelry is a process that is worth taking seriously. First of all, it is necessary to determine the amount available, literally all further actions will depend on it.

Then decide which jewelry store or jeweler to work with. As for jewelry stores, you should trust trusted brands that have already made a name for themselves and continue to reinforce their reputation with high-quality jewelry. You can focus on promotions and discounts, but still, frankly incredible offers and huge discounts are better not to trust. Even if it is not a fake, then there will be too many “buts” in such products.

If the groom wants to make a ring to order, you must choose the diamond yourself. A good solution would be to come to the store of Yakut diamonds and find a suitable stone there. Recently, stones from Yakutia have become very popular, and the number of branded stores is growing. This trend is not in vain: the diamonds of Yakutia differ in quality, and the cost can be quite moderate.

The most classic image of an engagement ring is white gold with a single round diamond in the middle. The most popular of these classic options are Tiffany jewelery. Tiffany, founded in 1837 by Lewis Tiffany, has been filling the jewelery market with quality handmade products for decades. “Tiffany” mainly produces white gold rings, but it also works with yellow, so it is possible to find jewelry that matches all wishes. Such a product is ideal for any image, and there is not the slightest doubt that every girl will like it.

However, now many people want originality, something that no one will have. Often, brides and grooms began to deviate from the canon and prefer engagement decorations of platinum, palladium, or even of non-precious metals such as tungsten or titanium.At the same time, diamonds can look completely different and create incredible combinations: here there are placers, and colored diamonds, and patterns of several stones. In general, there are no restrictions, except for your own imagination and budget. To order, you can make absolutely any jewel, so if you wanted something unusual, do not deny yourself the pleasure.

When choosing jewelry it is necessary to rely on whether the color of the metal with the stone is well combined. The most winning combination with any of the diamonds will be white gold, but here there are several details:

1. It is important to immediately find out what additives are present in the alloy. In the manufacture of jewels, white gold is not used in pure form, but it acquires its shade when nickel or palladium is added. Palladium is a precious metal, there will be no problems with it, but nickel can cause a serious allergic reaction. It is easy to determine if nickel is in the composition: the metal will have an almost imperceptible yellowish glow.
2. The presence of a layer of rhodium on the ring. In general, there are more pluses than minuses in gold: it is more wear-resistant, protected from scratches and shines nicely, cold, nevertheless rhodium and white gold are not the same thing, and if the question of buying a product made of white gold is of fundamental importance , it is necessary to pay close attention to this. Determine whether such a layer or not will help shine. When the metal is coated with rhodium, it has a bluish glow, which is not present in real white gold.

It is very important when choosing a ring to look at the stone, because it is he who will attract the most attention to himself. The common idea that girls prefer a larger diamond is nothing more than a delusion. Too large stone is not suitable for all ladies, sometimes it looks cumbersome and even ridiculous, while a neat, medium-sized diamond will look noble and advantageous on any hand. The size of the stone is measured in carats, 1 carat is equal to 200 mg or 0.2 g, respectively, the larger the carat, the larger the diamond.

Another important feature that makes sense to pay attention to is the purity of the stone. To the naked eye to see any inclusions is extremely difficult, but how clean the stone will directly affect its price. This information is very easy to recognize, since the degree of “cleanness” of a diamond must be indicated on the tag.

Of course, almost all natural stones have various cracks and inclusions, they can be very different and confirm the natural origin of the diamond. Shade is also directly related to cleanliness. Again, it is difficult to see it with the naked eye, you need a microscope for this, but most likely any stone will have a grayish, yellowish or brownish tint. Diamonds that do not have any shade, that is, colorless, are extremely rare and very expensive, their color is called "pure water".

And once we are talking about shades, it is worth mentioning and color. It is an important and very interesting detail. Surprisingly, diamonds, except for the most popular, almost colorless, come in many different tones:

• Red
• Yellow
• Blue
• Green
• Pink,
• Black

Jewelry with black diamonds, or carbonado, became known not so long ago, but now they are increasingly gaining popularity. Such an engagement gift will look doubly romantic because of the prevailing opinion among scientists about the cosmic origin of carbonado.Best of all combined with white gold, the stone will be ideal for a girl who appreciates the classics in modern processing. And yet, black diamonds need to be careful, because often rich black color is the result of heat treatment, and not at all a natural characteristic.

Of course, there is no universal option, everything depends only on the desire and capabilities of the groom.

Nevertheless, it is possible to draw several conclusions that will be relevant for any engagement ring with a diamond and make life much easier for a man when choosing:

1. In any case, it is better to choose a gold product, experimenting with weddings is more appropriate, and for engagement it is an absolutely classic version that suits everyone.
2. As for the stone, first of all it is necessary to see whether it has a certificate confirming the authenticity. If it is not there, then the probability of buying a fake is great, as there’s no way to distinguish a real diamond from an artificial one without special equipment.
3. It is better to pay attention not to the weight of the stone, but to the quality of the cut. A well-cut stone looks more attractive, and another high-quality facet visually increases the size.
4. If the budget is limited, then do not chase the most pure diamond. Minor blotches, cracks and shade are invisible to the naked eye, but the price is quite noticeable.
