Find the Perfect Diamond Engagement Rings

 

Now you're getting engaged! So it is time to buy the perfect diamond ring for your bride to be. Nothing is more loving and inspiring but receiving a diamond engagement ring, and men want to really see their fiancee's sparkling eyes ones they see their diamond engagement ring. However, let us be realistic about this and allow us to help you decide the best choice for a diamond engagement ring and for your budget. Diamonds are graded basing on their carat, cut, color and clarity.

 

Carat refers to the weight, cut is the light reflection affecting the color and clarity or the brilliance. Colors are scaled to D, H, N, and Z, D being colorless and Z to canary yellow tint or brown tint. Though it's not a quality of beauty, it dictated the rarity of the stone, so the more colorless a diamond is, the more expensive it is. Carat is the size and weight of the diamond, and most often this area is the most valuable for a budget-friendly stone since a majority of women wants their diamonds bigger more than anything else. Shape matters because this is the reflection of your fiancee's style and character, reflecting yours as well. The various shapes are round, princess, cushion, emerald, heart, pear, oval marquise, radiant and square emerald. Round is traditional and classic, the princess is very feminine and cushion cut makes a statement. When it comes to balancing your budget with your diamond engagement ring, jewellerynz experts advise selecting F-G grading or colorless or near colorless diamond, no marks visible to the naked eyes, a clarity rating of VS/SI grading and a very good (VG) cut grade for a maximum brilliance.

 

When it comes to choosing between platinum or gold bands, platinum is harder than gold, holding the diamond with more strength. Gold wears out easily and the claws that hold the diamond need to be checked over the years because they may loosen. But if your fiancée is not into platinum, you can just add platinum claws to a gold wedding bands for a maximum setting strength without compromising her style. The most popular settings for a diamond are tiffany, contemporary bezel and diamond cluster pave. If you have a tight budget, you can purchase a smaller stone and just work on the setting, creating an optical illusion for offsetting the diamond size. If budget is not your problem then go for the best ones and get it insured so you can protect your investment, because this is something your future wife-to-be will wear for the rest of your married lives.
