The Basics of Diamond Engagement Rings?

Before you begin looking at diamond engagement rings, you’ll want to keep in mind all the different options you have. While your budget is probably going to be your first consideration, you should also know that you have just as many options with a large budget as you do with a small one. The first step in looking for diamond engagement rings is the basic appearance. There are generally three types of metals used for diamond jewelry, yellow gold, white gold, or platinum. Platinum is the most expensive. There are also different shapes, or cuts, that the diamond can be. The most common are round and princess; princess cut is a square diamond. You can also get diamonds that are pear, oval, or heart cut. Emerald, radiant, and cushion cuts are all rectangular but are different in appearance. Next, you will need to determine size. Carats are the measurement for diamond engagement rings. The larger the carat, the larger the diamond. You can look at a sizing chart online to see what the sizes will look like. As far as the ring size, you will need to measure the finger or a ring that the person you’re proposing to has worn. There are charts for these ring sizes as well. The clarity of diamond engagement rings depends on how many or little flaws or blemishes the surface of the diamond has. The less flaws, the more expensive the diamond. Clarity is based on a scale that ranges from F, for flawless, to I1-I2-I3, which stands for included. Included diamonds have flaws that are visible without magnification, so they cost less money. The color of diamonds is another factor in purchasing diamond engagement rings. As far as colors, you can get a white diamond, a canary diamond, or even a pink diamond. If you want a traditional white diamond, the more colorless it is, the more dazzling it will look. Diamonds are rated for color on a scale that runs alphabetically from D to X, where D is colorless and X has a yellowish tint.
