Practical Tips for Buying Diamond Engagement Rings

 

Saying ‘yes’ to the most awaited question of your life is exciting. You are naturally over the moon and would like to begin preparing for a new life right away. The first step towards that deep commitment to each other would be to show off your engagement ring. Sure, it was the man who alone bought the ring secretly and took it out with a flourish at an opportune moment when it was time to propose love and ask for the maiden’s hand, but such secrecy is passé now. 

You, as a woman would be justified in accompanying him to the jeweler’s store to look at the wonderful diamond engagement rings on display. 

 It makes sense to educate yourself about the dos and don’ts of buying a diamond embellished engagement ring before deciding that a particular ring is meant for you. So, arrive at the retail store and look closely at the ring that fascinates you. It is significant to note the following carefully: -

The 4Cs 

Color- The color of the diamond should be of grading D depicting a total lack of color. This kind of diamond is valuable. You may decide on a Z grade and opt for a diamond with a slight tinge of yellow or brown. 

Clarity- It is best to choose a clear diamond with no inclusions. The colored bits visible, including a diamond are blemishes that may lower their value. 

Cut- The ability of light to be reflected, and/or refracted through the diamond is accentuated by its cut. You must select the diamond that sparkles enticingly and exhibits brilliance on account of a superior cut. 

Carat weight- The size of a diamond is proportional to its carat weight. You may find the larger stones high-priced when the other Cs met the mark. 

The Style

True; a diamond is considered a good investment, but diamond engagement rings are for their sentimental appeal instead of value. You may go ahead, and pick the cut to obtain the right shape of the brilliantly sparkling stone. 

Sure, a round diamond is the most expensive choice and upholds traditional values. But you may go for an offbeat or fancy cut that will make your ring unique. The cost of the gemstone will be lower too. You may also choose a colored diamond that looks enticing despite its reduced value. 

The Metal

A solitary diamond will not help you to reveal your relationship status to the world. You need a quality metallic band to support the lovely gemstone on your finger. You are welcome to set the diamond on yellow gold that happens to be classic. A true romantic at heart may prefer rose gold, while white gold looks beautiful when you want a solitaire setting. 

Platinum is both pricey and durable. You may prefer it as it is hypoallergic too. 

Diamond engagement rings can be protected perfectly with the aid of bezel settings. You may opt for multiple prongs to hold the magnificent diamond in place without concealing too much of it.
