How To Choose Diamonds Rings For My Love?

By Ted Crist

Diamonds rings are always charming and special gift for your love one. Because they are so special, they often use as an engagement ring or as a wedding ring. However, with so many stores selling diamonds rings, choosing the right one can be tiring and confusing process. Before you buy the diamonds rings and to make it easier for you, it is better if do some research and understand several things.

First and most importantly, you must know your budget. Diamonds rings are an expensive thing. I know you want to make your love one happy by giving her the best diamonds rings you can afford. But, you must think about the cost for your wedding too right? So, it’s better if already know how much you will spend for your wedding ceremony and then you’ll know how much you can spend for the diamonds rings.

Second, you must find out about your love one taste. Is it she likes round diamonds cut, princess diamonds cut or maybe heart shape diamonds cut, etc. Also, is it she is an active person or not. If she is an active person, it’s better if you choose the diamonds rings setting or style that hold the diamonds strong, secure and not so raised above the ring surface, because you don’t want to lose your expensive diamonds while she do her activity right? After the diamond cut type and the ring settings, you should also know about her favorite color, is it she prefers white gold, yellow gold, or another ring material color. If you unsure about her taste, you can buy round cut diamonds rings with standard setting, nothing can be wrong with it as they commonly used. For the color, even though yellow gold is commonly used for engagement or wedding ring, but white gold is gaining its popularity nowadays. So, if you don’t know what the color or ring material that she likes, just choose based on your judgment or what you like.

And the last but not least is doing some comparison between different jewelry stores. To do this, you can do it online, as it saving your times, energy and cost. Learn a little about the diamond 4 C’s (Cut, Color, Clarity and Carat) to understand about the diamond quality. After that you can do your comparison and you will know if the stores are selling their diamonds rings too expensive or not based on the diamonds quality. If you want to buy expensive diamonds rings, I highly recommend you to buy the diamonds that have certificate from trusted grading lab such as GIA, AGS, and EGL.

After you do these research, I hope it make it easier for you to choose the best diamonds rings your love one (and for you too, because you are the one who spend the money :-) ). But, on top of that, don’t worry too much is she don’t like it, because she want to marry you because she love you, not the diamonds rings right?

Gold Diamond Rings - Practical Guide

By Ted Crist

One of the things (if not the first) to be prepared before your wedding is a wedding ring, and the choice usually it’s a gold diamond rings. History tells, gold diamond rings is used in weddings since hundreds of years ago. Ring means bond, while the diamond means forever. So we can say diamond ring = bond forever. The material used to make a wedding ring is usually gold. There are advantages and disadvantages of each material that used to make the ring, but most people choose gold because gold is the most common material used, never go out of fashion, and if it begin to dull, it can be polished again.

14K or 18K

As I know, there is no gold wedding ring made of 100% gold (24k) because it’s too soft (but there is 24K jewelry ring). To make a gold wedding ring, it must be mixed with other materials, usually alloy copper for rose gold or yellow gold ring and nickel or palladium for white gold ring (some people reported allergic to nickel, so you better choose palladium). Gold ring is divided into several types i.e. 9K, 14k and 18k. But for wedding or engagment ring usually is 14K or 18K gold ring. 14k gold contains 58% gold and the rest 42% is other materials, while 18K gold is 75% gold and the rest 25% is other materials. Because the other materials that used to mix with gold is harder than gold, the 14k gold is harder from 18k gold. So if you’re an active person, I suggest you to purchase 14k gold, if you are the person who will remove the ring at work or you work behind the desk, you can buy 18k gold.

White Gold or Yellow Gold

Yellow gold looks more classic, but sometimes it looks too vivid, so it doesn’t match with the clothes or jewelry that you used. In contrary, because it’s neutral color, white gold can be used in almost every occasion.

Diamond ring setting

There are several types of diamond ring settings, such as the bezel setting, Ballerina setting, bead setting, Channel Setting, Setting Cluster, Flush Setting, and Pave Setting. Settings may affect how the diamond will reflect light (whether the ring setting will block the light) and of course it will affect how the ring looks, just select the ring setting that most suit your personality.

Diamond Cut

There are several types of diamond cut (round brilliant cut, princess cut, step cut, etc) that will make a diamond shape looks different. but what most important is not what type of diamond cut, but it’s the two aspects of the cut, which is polish and symmetry. If the diamond not well polished, the surface of the diamond may not reflective and the sparkle won’t come out or it will be blurred. If the symmetry is poor, it will cause the light that enter the diamond won’t reflect to the surface of the diamond, and the light will exits the diamond.
