Diamond
Engagement Rings
Diamond engagement rings are the most
popular and sought after rings today,
because diamonds are regarded as the
best gem for engagements and special
occasions due to their hardness and
durability. Women also tend to prefer
diamonds because of their magnificent
fire and brilliance. Diamonds are
the indelible symbol of the sparkling
love and beauty that only this gem
can truly reflect.
Diamonds were first mined in India
thousands of years ago and have been
used in bridal jewelry for a many
hundreds of years now. Now over 90%
of diamonds are mined in Africa.
There
are a few rules to buying a diamond.
If you follow them, you should do
just fine.
First
of all, it's important to know your
4 C's. Rank color, cut, clarity, and
carat in your order of preference,
and set your budget for that perfect
custom designed ring.
Second
thing is the choose the shape of the
diamond. Popular choices are: round
brilliant, princess cut, emerald cut,
oval cut, heart, and trilliant.
Third
thing to do is to shop around. Find
the best quality diamond you can get
within your budget. Because most people
can't afford a diamond that's top
of the line in all four C's, it's
important to be able to sacrifice
one factor for the other.
Last
but not least, choose you setting
and metal type. With diamonds, especially
those with high color grading, they
are mostly set in a white gold ring
or a platinum ring. But yellow gold
is also possible if that's your preference.
Usually a diamond merchant will let
you custom the setting and metal type
for a low price if you purchase the
diamond from them.
