If you’re making a commitment to the person you were meant to be with, then we have two things to say: First, congratulations! Second, now you need to get an engagement ring and you have no idea where to start, so read on. We have all the essential tips on engagement rings.
Engagement rings are probably the most important piece of jewelry for a woman, after the wedding ring. It is with this ring that she tells the world that she is now engaged to be married. The betrothal announcement is usually followed by a grand rush to see the ring. Everyone wants to see what you have on your ring finger. How big is it? And does it match your eyes? Therefore, choosing an engagement ring is of paramount importance. You can make a simple wedding ring with her wedding ring. But the engagement ring cannot be ignored. It has to be eye-catching, impressive and inspiring.
Now the type of engagement ring you want can be guided by three main points:
– Metal type (silver, gold, platinum)
– The stone used (these are usually diamonds, but some people may prefer something else)
– The frame used to hold the stone.
– These three decided, they will give you the ring you always imagined on your engagement finger. Now, whether a gold, silver or platinum metal ring will be for you depends on your budget, but the stone that wins hands down is the diamond.
Everyone will teach you the 4 C’s. So here is a list of 4 C’s:
Cut: This is the most important as it makes the diamond stand out. That defining shine comes only from the right cut. A diamond has 57 to 58 flat facets on its surface, and while cutting the stone, the craftsman makes sure they are the perfect angle and size. Only then will the light be reflected and come out of the diamond (in other words, the fire of the diamond). If the cuts are too deep or too shallow, the light angles will fail. The cut of the diamond is also how the shape of the stone is decided. These are the most popular shapes of diamonds:
-Round
– Emerald
-Pear
– Marchioness
-Princess
-Oval
-Heart
Color: The most preferred color for a diamond is white. They are defined by scales based on their color as they display shades of color. Natural diamonds with a distinctive color are extremely rare. (I don’t know where Jennifer Lopez got her pink diamond engagement ring.)
Clarity: The clarity of a diamond is not visible to the naked eye. You have to look at it through a jeweler’s loupe to see the ‘inclusions’. These affect the passage of light; That is the fire of the diamond. So make sure you get a slightly flawed diamond or, if you can afford it, ones that are completely flawless.
Carat: Carat is how the weight and size of the diamond is measured. One carat is equal to 0.2 g or 200 mg. A carat is then divided into 100 smaller units called points. For example, half a carat is 50 points. The average size of diamonds in an engagement ring ranges from one carat to a half carat.
Cost: The cost again depends on what you have chosen. But make sure you buy only certified stones from jewelers.
