Choose the quality of your base diamond
Nothing is more confusing than understanding the quality of Diamond - the classic 4 Cs: Color, Cut, Clarity, and Carat. I won't give a detailed explanation here as we have a very comprehensive guide to a diamond to read. Simply put, the higher the 4C, the higher the cost.
When it comes to colored gemstones, we also have comprehensive guides for them. To make it easier for our buyers, at Diamondere we only use natural grade AAAA, the highest quality gemstone in our products.
Cut
Most of the time, we associate the size of a diamond with its shape, i.e. round, heart-shaped, oval, etc. But the size of the diamond is much more than that. This artificial contribution to the diamond determines the gemstone's ability to reflect natural light. The amount of sparkle and shine is a direct result of the final proportions, finish and shape of the diamond.
Color
The color grade of a diamond is related to the amount of color visible on the body, and the finest white diamonds have a color grade of "D". Most diamonds have at least a hint of yellow or brown body color. With the exception of a few natural fancy colors, colorless varieties are the rarest.
Clarity
Purity indicates how free a diamond is from small natural internal inclusions and external blemishes. The highest marks are given to gemstones with little or no flaws. A diamond's degree of clarity is determined by a professionally trained diamond tester at 10x magnification.
Carat
Since beauty and shine are the most important, you should focus on buying a beautifully cut diamond rather than a specific carat weight. Once you've determined your grades for the other three C's, look for the biggest carat that still fits your budget.
Choose Your Settings
From the simple elegance of a solitary design like this Eureka Look ring to the adorned features of a vintage ring, you can find settings to suit every personality.
If your future fiancé is someone who leads an active lifestyle or has a practical job, consider a bezel setting or flush setting like this from the Eureka style, as the diamond won't stand out as much as other styles. . For someone who wants a unique ring, go for something more individual like this distinctive yellow gold ring with the Eureka look.
A good starting point for your research is to choose your ring setting. The setting of a ring determines how your average diamond is set and gives your ring its personality. From traditional to alternative, your attitude should reflect your personal style and the possibilities are endless.
Choose a metal for the band
Now, if you have a better understanding of your selection, ring size, budget, stone, and quality, this step won't take long.
You have fewer options because you would have filtered out most layouts and selected a few options already.
Give you the information you need about the different metals that make up most of the engagement rings:
- 14K / 18K yellow or white gold
- palladium
- platinum
- Silver
On the other hand, the key idea behind a metal ring is that it should complement the overall design and stone of your choice. But even then, if you are confused, go for white gold as it pairs perfectly with most designs and gemstones.
