The Ultimate Diamond Jewelry Buying Guide

If you are looking for a special piece of jewelry, such as engagement rings, then you need to ensure that you give a lot of careful contemplation to your purchase. After all, this is likely to be a substantial investment and so you need to make sure that you go for something which is fashionable, durable, affordable, and also of high quality. Utilize the following five tips to help you find the best diamond jewelry for you:

 This is pivotal. You should read the company’s testimonials in order to decipher what previous customers think about the jewelry that they bought. You should also make sure that they have GIA certification; this grades color, clarity, carat weight, and cut.

Colour 

In general, you look at a diamond and think it is colorless, yet there is a scale determining just how colorless one is. This grading system works via labeling diamonds from D-Z – with D being completely colorless and Z being the most yellow. It is usually recommended to seek something which is ranked higher than H.

Clarity

Every diamond has slight blemishes and imperfections, but just how many is the question. This is graded from IF (internally flawless) down to I1-3 (visibly included). It is recommended to go for either IF, VVS (very, very slight inclusions) or VS (very slight inclusions).

Carat weight

 You need to consider the weight of the diamond in proportion to its size. For instance, a diamond weighing 1.250 carats should be approximately 7.0mm in size.

Cut

This deals with the proportions of the diamond and its reflective qualities; it is not to be confused with shape. You should seek a cut that is labeled either “ideal/excellent” or “very good”.

Don’t forget; shopping is only the first part of the process. You need to look after your jewelry too. There are lots of great guides on how to store your Rolex, how to clean diamond jewelry, and so on, which can help with this.

Now that you have been armed with the top five things you need to consider in order to ensure quality diamond jewelry, you now need to be aware of the top five trends so that you can be certain of style as well.

Make a statement

Go for big bold diamonds. Nothing says style and lavishness like a statement piece of jewelry, so don’t be shy to think big!

Antique

Old school vintage style jewelry is highly fashionable at the moment. Adding a bit of old classic glamour can instantly give your outfit that luxurious edge.

Emerald-cut

Emerald cut diamonds are extremely desirable; they have that classic and sophisticated edge that cannot be replicated via any other shape. 

Be adventurous

Think outside of the box when it comes to the metal you are going to opt for to accompany your diamond. You don’t have to go for a yellow gold band. This is a trend that even rings true for engagement rings as well.

Halo settings

Halo setting rings (where one big diamond is surrounded by smaller ones) have burst through the doors of the fashion world once more. They play on that antique old school style mentioned in trend two.
