Engagement ring with diamond

The engagement ring with a diamond can be called a real classic among jewelry. There are many variations: in 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 jewelry to order, the choice of rings is simply incredible. But their essence still comes down to one thing - this is a joyful and exciting gift to your soulmate 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. Determining the value is quite easy:

• If the girl’s rings are constantly “in the public domain”, then there will be no difficulties, you just need to take one of them and show it to the seller when choosing.
• If there is no such easy opportunity to get to the jewelry, then you can always unobtrusively bring your beloved to this topic, most likely, in a conversation, she herself will mention the size of her finger.
• Well, if neither one nor the other opportunity presented itself, you can simply ask people close to her: mothers, friends, some of them know this information for sure.

In addition, it is important to understand exactly which product will please and suit the chosen one in style, because if you choose, guided only by your own desires, you can buy completely the wrong thing.

So, the questions with the size and appearance are left behind, but it is too early to proceed directly to the choice of the ring. Buying jewelry for an engagement is a process that should be approached with all seriousness. First of all, you need to decide on the amount available at your disposal, literally all further actions will depend on this.

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

If the groom wants to make a ring to order, the diamond must be chosen by himself. A good solution would be to come to the Yakut diamond store 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 are of high quality, and the cost can be quite moderate.

The most classic engagement ring look is white gold with a single round diamond in the middle.The most popular of these classic options are Tiffany jewelry. Founded in 1837 by Louis Tiffany, Tiffany has been filling the jewelry market with quality handcrafted items for decades. Tiffany mainly produces rings in white gold, but also works with yellow gold, so there is an opportunity to find a piece of jewelry that suits 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 jewelry made of platinum, palladium, or even base metals such as tungsten or titanium. At the same time, diamonds can look completely different and create incredible combinations: placers, colored diamonds, and patterns of several stones. In general, there are no restrictions, except for your own imagination and budget. Absolutely any jewelry can be made to order, so if you want something unusual, you should not deny yourself the pleasure.

When choosing jewelry, you need to rely on whether the color of the metal goes well with the stone. The most winning combination with any of the diamonds would be white gold, but there are a few details here:

1. It is important to immediately know exactly what additives are present in the alloy. In the manufacture of jewelry, white gold is not used in its pure form, but it acquires its shade when nickel or palladium is added. Palladium is a precious metal and is not a problem, but nickel can cause a severe allergic reaction.Determining whether there is nickel in the composition is simple: 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 in rhodium-plated gold than minuses: it is more wear-resistant, protected from scratches and beautifully cold shines, nevertheless, rhodium-plated and white gold are not the same thing, and if the question of buying a product from white gold is fundamental need to pay close attention to this. Glitter will help determine whether there is such a layer or not. When the metal is plated with rhodium, it has a bluish glow that real white gold does not have.

When choosing a ring, it is very important to take a closer 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 a stone is not suitable for all ladies, sometimes it looks bulky 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 characteristic that makes sense to pay attention to is the purity of the stone. It is extremely difficult to see any inclusions with the naked eye, but how clean the stone will directly affect its price. This information is very easy to find out, since the degree of “cleanliness” 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. Hue is also directly related to purity.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 "clear water".

And since we are talking about shades, it is worth mentioning the color. It is an important and very interesting detail. Surprisingly, diamonds, in addition to the most popular almost colorless ones, come in a wide variety of tones:

• red,
• yellow,
• blue,
• green,
• pink,
• Black.

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

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

Nevertheless, several conclusions can be drawn that will be relevant for any engagement ring with a diamond and will make life much easier for a man when choosing:

1. In any case, it is better to choose a gold item, it is more appropriate to experiment with engagement rings, and for an engagement, this is an absolutely classic option that will suit everyone.
2. As for the stone, first of all, you need to see if it has a certificate confirming its authenticity. If it is not there, then there is a high probability of buying a fake, since it will not work 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 a high-quality cut visually increases the size.
4. If the budget is limited, then there is no need to chase the purest diamond. Minor inclusions, cracks and shade are invisible to the naked eye, but the price differs quite noticeably.
