The very first thing you are going to want to look at is your budget. In years past, the rule of thumb was that you spend two months salary on a diamond ring. However, that rule generally no longer applies. Today, with people living together before the question is asked, it is much more a question of how much your budget will handle.
Color is the overall color of the stone. Traditionally, diamonds will rage from colorless to yellow. The less color in the stone, the more desirable it is. This typically has a relationship to the purity of the gem, although some people prefer the yellowish tint to a diamond stone.
Cut is very important to how the diamond will shine. If it is well cut, it will capture all available light and reflect it back to the height of its potential. If the diamond is cut too shallow, it will not gather light. If it is cut too deep, it will take light and not reflect it back.
Clarity refers to how flawless the stone is. Diamonds that are flawless are going to be very rare and, therefore, very expensive. Usually, you can get more bang for your buck if you go down a couple of points on this category and get either a near flawless stone or one that has no visible incursions to the naked eye.
The last of the four Cs is carat. This is how big the diamond is. It is worth mentioning that the larger stones are more rare and are more expensive.
When shopping for the perfect diamond ring, the setting will also come into play, as well as what type of metal the ring is made of. Gold is traditionally the metal of engagement and wedding rings, but silver; white gold and platinum have started to become more popular in recent years as well. This is more a matter of personal taste than anything else, although you want a quality setting.
Diamond Ring Care – More Than Just Simple Cleaning
Executive summary about Jewelry Diamond Ring by Ernesto Maitim
Diamond ring care actually takes more than just regular, ordinary cleaning of the precious stone. Indeed, it is true that diamonds are forever. However, they are bound to be damaged if you as an owner will not take care of it.
First step in diamond ring care, you must send your jewelry to a reputable jewel shop or jeweler at least once every year. You must see to it that he checks the prongs and mountings to ensure that the diamond is firmly in place. If your diamond ring needs repairs, then he should provide such service with care. You must expect your jeweler to provide full diamond care to avoid the stone from falling from the setting and getting lost.
If you have a jewelry that is seldom worn or you have a loose stone, proper diamond ring care requires you to keep it away on a safe place, separate from other jewelry. Every diamond ring must be placed on its own separate compartment in order to prevent your diamonds from getting ugly scratches.
A very important diamond ring care is to remove your ring every time you are performing any physical work. Remember you can scratch and even chip your diamonds if they accidentally get into hard contact with your furniture and other hard surfaces. Lastly, diamond care requires you to remove your diamond ring if you use chemicals such as bleach and various household cleaning solutions.
