How to Design Your Own Diamond Rings?

Answer 1

You can design your own diamond ring, either for yourself or for that someone special from the comfort of your home. There are websites that will let you start from scratch and they will guide you through all of the steps until you have designed a unique diamond ring.

Do a keyword search for design diamond ring and choose which website you want to work with. Some of the most famous diamond retailers in the world offer this service.

First, choose the shape of the diamond. Many people don’t realize all of the shapes that diamond rings come in. Although round is the most popular shape, you can also choose princess, oval, emerald, and heart shaped, among others. Some websites will also let you choose by price range but you will almost always start with the shape.

Next, you will choose how many carats you want. The more the diamond weighs, the pricier it will be. You do not have to choose in whole carat increments. You can choose a fraction of a carat. Watch how the price changes as you experiment with different carat weights.

Next, you will choose how much color your diamond will have. Color ranges from D, which means there is no color at all to Z, which means there is noticeable color. Some of the online retailers only carry diamonds color graded from D to J as clear diamonds that show color are less desirable.

You will also need to choose the cut. Cut refers to how well the diamond has been cut. Some people confuse cut with shape but they are two different elements. The cut may be ideal, very good, good, or fair. The better the cut, the more expensive the diamond will be.

Clarity is another important element that you will need to choose. Clarity refers to the amount of blemishes that can be seen on the diamond. The highest clarity grade is completely flawless, which is rare and ultra expensive. Small inclusions cannot be seen with the naked eye but there are several levels of inclusions or blemishes and the price changes with each level.

You’ll receive an incredible education about how diamonds are priced and graded when you design your own diamond rings and you will learn how your choices can affect the price.
