Design Engagement Rings Is A lot Of Fun
Thursday, 22. October 2009
Getting engaged is one of the most memorable events in your life and to have the perfect ing makes much better.
It is possible to, rather than spend all your money on an engagement ring from your local jewelry store, buy a better quality ring at a greatly reduced price. On top of that, it can be possible to buy a ring that is unique and entirely personal to the one receiving it.
First of all you will need to find a wholesale diamond dealer that deals in only the highest quality GIA certified diamonds and also gives the option to design engagement rings.
Once you found such a wholesale dealer like the one I’ll mention towards the end of this article you will need to study the 4 C’s of diamonds a bit. The 4 C’s stands for color, cut, clarity and carat. The better the quality of the diamond the more valuable it is and it also affects the price of the diamond. I would go for a colorless diamond with very few or no inclusions and a brilliant cut. The cut is the most important factor to consider.
After you selected your diamond it is now time to choose the setting. Here you need to look at how the stone will look in the setting. If you want the stone to have a flowing look about it then a channel setting might be your best choice. To highlight the stone in the ring with a tight grip you might want to select a prong setting.. A bezel setting will protect the stone better which can be used for princess cut diamonds.
Finally you need to choose the ring. Here you can get creative. Does your girlfriend like solitaire or maybe a 2 or 3 stone ring? Does she like white gold, platinum or maybe yellow gold? Platinum is very popular but it also costs more. I personally like white gold.
You can also add finishing touches to the ring such as etchings or other details.
The result is a home designed engagement ring that has a stone of the highest quality but a fraction of the cost that will be absolutely unique. You wife to be will adore it.
