Before Buying An Engagement Ring

2011-12-26T22:17:00.001-08:00

An engagement ring is the investment of life time so it needs little attention. Before choosing an engagement ring you should do some homework like deciding the metal, stone and design of the ring. This will not only make your selection easier but also help you in getting a perfect bling for your lady luck.

Firstly, choose a metal of your choice. Most brides-to-be are very specific about the metal when it is for their engagement ring.

Yellow gold is the traditional and most preferred choice. 24k is the purest form of yellow gold but it is very soft and generally not preferred for engagement ring because it can’t hold the stone properly. 14k and 18k are though not so pure but are harder than 24k so these are more durable options for making an engagement ring.

If yellow is not your choice, you can opt for white gold or platinum. White gold rings also have the same sheer as yellow gold and they can easily complement any jewelry accessory she may have in her wardrobe.

Platinum on the other side is more expensive than gold because of its rarity. The metal is harder and highly resists any damage and never goes out of luster so makes a durable and shiny engagement ring.

Next important point is to decide the stone of your ring. Though diamonds are forever but it’s not necessarily applicable on every girl’s choice. If your girl likes diamonds than go for it after assuring the 4C’s of quality i.e. clarity, color, carat and cut. These are the quality parameters for a true diamond. And as you are opting for diamonds so don’t forget to ask for GIA (Gemological Institute of America)’s diamond quality certificate.

If she likes color stones then you can pick her birthstone or any precious stone. Tanzanite is one of the most popular gemstones these days. It is a rare and exotic stone and its trichrosim is exceptional. Tanzanite engagement rings are in fact in demand these days. You can possibly found tanzanite in any shape, size and cut. Other gemstones like sapphire, emerald and ruby are also very popular.

Now you have to choose the design. Solitaires and three-stone rings are the traditional and classic options. But if you want something more decorative and exceptional go for antique engagement ring. They are really in great demand and each piece is unique and exclusive.

An engagement ring is not just a piece of jewelry but it is the expression of your love and devotion and is a piece to treasure for lifetime. Therefore, an engagement ring has to be very special and unique.

The result of their working together was this romantic diamond engagement ring that has a fine 3-carat cushion cut diamond as the center stone. The huge rock is surrounded by smaller round diamonds and is precisely crafted in platinum. In all, the ring totals to approximately 5-carats.

And for all the ladies who dreamed of getting the most perfect engagement ring, well its time that we feel jealous of Catriona McGinn, Mark’s fiancée.

Popular Engagement Ring Setting

2011-09-07T06:32:00.001-07:00

You might think that size of the diamond, clarity and design is all that matters when buying an engagement ring. But, the fact is that the way a diamond is held or the setting of the diamond plays a vital role in define the beauty of an engagement ring. Here are some of the popular diamond settings –

Prong Setting – This is one of the most popular settings especially when it comes to diamond engagement rings. A prong setting use metal prongs that form a based in which a diamond is secured. The prongs are slightly bent at the top to secure the diamond at its place. The number of prongs usually ranges from 2 to 6.
Cathedral Setting – This setting might seem like prong setting at first look. However, it is quite unique and different. In a cathedral setting the shank of the ring splits to form arches. The open spaces and the beautiful arches lend an aesthetic and vintage appeal to the ring.
Bezel Setting – This setting places the diamond in a metal ring without using prongs. The metal ring that encompasses the center diamond secures the diamond at its place and keeps it from falling.

Pave Engagement Ring Styles

2011-07-27T04:00:00.001-07:00

Pavé setting is one of the most beautiful and intricate varieties of setting that lend a unique look to jewelry especially rings. Pavé setting is in fact quite often used to create some breathtaking engagement rings . Pavé is derived from the French word meaning’ pavement’ which is what a pave setting looks like, a shimmering pathway of diamonds set closely.

In a typical pavé setting tiny diamonds are set close together on the metal surface to give the appearance of a seamless flow of diamonds and any gap between the stones is sealed with tiny metal balls which further enhance the beauty of this fascinating setting.

Pavé setting looks exquisite especially in engagement rings and there are various styles of pavé set engagement rings, few of which are mentioned below.

The most popular variety of pavé set engagement rings is the full pavé engagement ring in which diamonds are pavé set along the entire dimension of the ring and there is no break in the endless array of finely set diamonds encircling the ring. This variety of pavé set engagement rings look immensely beautiful and extremely grand. However not all women prefer this variety as these rings tend to look too elaborate and heavy and are not quite suitable for everyday wear.

The half pavé style of engagement rings are the most popular ones where diamonds are pavé set on the top half of the engagement ring. With a shimmering center stone grabbing all the attention the smaller pavé set diamonds surrounding it from both sides add to the ring’s beauty and dazzle. Not only do these rings look stunning, they are also more practical as part of everyday jewelry.

Vintage pavé set engagement rings have an exclusive appeal that is simply irresistible. Most engagement rings of this particular style boast of a colored center stone with pavé set diamonds embedded on the sides to create a look that is simply breathtaking.

The split shank pavé set engagement rings look elaborate as well as exquisite where the center stone leads the way for two bands to branch out lending a unique look to the ring especially if the split shanks are embedded with shimmering pavé set diamonds.

Irrespective of the variety of pavé set engagement rings one thing that can be said for sure about this variety is that they look magnificent and there is hardly a woman who will not succumb to the charm of this variety of engagement rings.

Diamond Engagement Rings: Historical Fact

2010-12-14T22:12:00.001-08:00

There is no doubt in the fact that women simply love and adore diamonds. Irrespective of the form of jewelry it accompanies, they love this rare and stunningly beautiful stone beyond words. Be it diamond rings, diamond earrings, diamond pendants, diamond bracelets or diamond necklaces, every piece of diamond jewelry is something a woman cherishes forever.

But in spite of a countless options in diamond jewelry her favorite is surely her sparkling diamond engagement ring and not without reason. Diamond engagement rings are the most popular and traditional form of engagement rings that have continued to win over the hearts of women through the centuries with their irresistible shimmer and endless beauty. But have you ever stopped to think how the immaculate diamond engagement rings came to be so popular and the history behind this highly coveted and special piece of jewelry.

Let’s start by telling you that the very first diamond engagement ring was presented to Mary of Burgundy in the year 1477 by Archduke Maximillian of Austria as a promise of marriage and this soon became a trend amongst the wealthy. Around 1870, with the discovery of mines in South Africa diamonds became a lot more accessible to people who started giving away diamond engagement rings as a sign of betrothal. This was also the time that the conglomerate De Beers was formed who ensured that diamonds reached the desired market destinations.

When Depression struck in the late 1930s and the market for diamonds was abysmally low Sir Ernest Oppenheimer of De Beers sent his team to New York and that is where the famous punch line ‘A Diamond is Forever’ was conceived. This triggered the use of diamonds in engagement rings and diamond engagement rings came to be the most desirable version.

Talking of the history of diamond engagement rings another interesting fact that deserves mention is the smallest engagement ring that was ever given. This happened in the year 1518 when the two year old daughter of Henry VIII, Mary was given the tiny engagement ring set with a diamond on the occasion of her betrothal to the infant Dauphin pf France who happened to be the son of King Francis I.

The highly sought after diamond solitaire engagement ring that women simply worship these days was introduced some time in the late nineteenth century. These diamond solitaire rings are the most popular and sought after variation of diamond engagement rings and needless to say are highly prized for their stark yet startling beauty.

Gemstone Jewelry as A Diamond Alternative

2010-12-13T23:58:00.001-08:00

Gemstone Jewelry as A Diamond Alternative the most wonderful thing about jewelry is that they are available with so much variation where each kind strikes you with its full on and spectacular beauty. There is so much one can say about the different kinds of jewelry but let’s just start with saying that it is in this variation that the desire to accumulate and flaunt more and more jewelry lies. So you can hardly blame women when they keep adding the various jewelry pieces to their personal jewelry collection for who can possibly resist the uniqueness of each piece.

The other good thing about this is that jewelry gives one various options and alternatives to select from. So one can choose a piece based on things ranging from one’s personal taste and preference, the latest styles and trends as well as the budget one thinks of spending on a particular piece. So although you are someone who is in love with the dazzle of diamonds but for some reason is unable to attain the fascinating diamond jewelry then no worries for colored gemstones are a perfect alternate with their vibrant glitter.

The most wonderful quality of colored gemstones is that they are available in a wide spectrum of colors. And each has a look and appeal that is unique. So from the sensuous blue sapphires, the rich red rubies, the evergreen emeralds, the lovely violet tanzanites, the sunny citrines or the alluring aquamarines each gemstone has a beauty that is true to its own which urges one to indulge in gemstone jewelry in most of these wonderful and vivid gemstones.

Colored gemstones are also a lot more reasonably priced than their more expensive and sparkling counterparts the forever diamonds. Due to this affordable nature of gemstones they often prove to be a much more reasonably priced yet beautiful alternative to diamond jewelry. There is one more amazing aspect of gemstones where a few of them bear a close resemblance to diamonds but one thing needs mention here and that is diamonds are diamonds in all their splendor and exquisiteness, however a few gemstones that are white in color could be a good choice instead of diamonds, white sapphires being one such example.

So if you are someone who is in love with jewelry and enjoys experimentation then it is time to shift from the dizzy dazzle of diamond jewelry and experiment with the wonderful colors that belong exclusively to gemstone jewelry alone.
