Design Your Own Engagement Ring – How To Do It Best
ByIf you want to design your own engagement ring and save a bunch of money on the ring then this article will discuss 3 important aspects of the process.
1. You absolutely must have knowledge about the 4 C’s of diamonds. The 4 C’s which stands for color, cut, clarity and carat determines how valuable a diamond is. One thing most experts agree on is this. Rather buy a better quality diamond than a bigger one.
The quality of the diamond is very important when designing your own engagement ring. If you study the 4 C’s then you will be just fine. Further towards the bottom of this article you will see a link to my website where I explain the 4 C’s in much more detail. One thing I’d like to mention right now is the cut of the diamond. This is the most important aspect to look at when buying a diamond and you cannot compromise on the cut. I’d say always go for an ideal cut as this is what directly influences the sparkle and brilliance of the diamond.
2. The second part of designing your own engagement ring is choosing the setting. Here you need to know what type of jewelry your girl likes. Does she like fancy jewelry or more plain jewelry? Does she like yellow gold, platinum or white gold? Does she like a solitaire ring or a 3 stone ring?
You need to know these things in order to design the best engagement ring.
3. After you have the diamond and the setting selected you now need to find a reputable place where you can design your own engagement ring at a great price. The diamond also needs to be GIA certified which makes it more valuable. The Gemological Institute Of America (GIA) is an unbiased organization and what they do is they take the diamnd and rate it according to the 4 C’s. They then issue a certificate to the diamond which will accompany the diamond to the end consumer. This adds tremendous value to the diamond.
I have found the best place to design a great diamond engagement ring at a great price is from an online wholesale dealer in GIA certified diamonds. I saved about $1500.00 on my ring.
I hope you enjoyed this article and if you keep these 3 things in mind I am confident that you will design her a great engagement ring.
