How do you go about shopping for your perfect ring? First decide on what you can afford, different gemstones have different price points, with diamonds at the top and rose quartz or amethyst at the bottom. Do not be affected by friends that say ‘you need a super ideal cut ring’ for proposal. Remember to never place yourself in a debt and by purchasing a high-end diamond above your means.
Everyone goes around mentioning about the 4Cs when it comes to purchasing a diamond ring. Carat, colour, cut and clarity. These 4 criteria will be the determining factor that sets your budget. A decent diamond ring from 0.50-0.80 carats will cost from $3000-$7000. Walking into the store with a budget helps your jeweller narrow down the diamonds that are within your range.
Diamond carat determines the weight of the diamond. The larger the diamond, naturally the diamond will be more expensive. How to decide which size suits her more? Always get a diamond that is proportionate to her finger, a well-fitted diamond should always been the goal. Click here to find out more about our .
The best colour of a diamond would be D colour which is equivalent to it being colourless – the most expensive. As it increases, the presence of colour increases. A ‘D’ colour diamond and a ‘F’ colour diamond can not be differentiated by the naked eye. However, the prices have a difference and with this money, it could be spent on other means such as other add ons for the wedding package or even save up for your house!
The ideal cut for a diamond would be ‘Excellent’ However, different shapes reflects its brilliance differently. The cut of the diamond affects its brilliance differently. The poorer the cut grade the lesser the brilliance. (Tip: for the best brilliance – it would be round diamond due to its symmetry)
The best clarity would be ‘VVS1’ and the poorest would be ‘SI’ This determines the flaws in the diamond. The purer the stone, the higher the price. ‘VS1’ and ‘VS2’ would be acceptable as the clarity of the stone would not be obvious to the naked eye. Those flaws can only be seen using loupes by professional jeweller. Browse through our , where we offer high quality diamond rings at competitive prices.
