Who else wants a great wedding ring?
I mention about how important to choose the right wedding ring in order to have a great proposal. So now I am going to share to you about the detail of wedding rings. A perfect ring should combines the timeless elegance of filigree with a high quality certified diamond. Diamonds are certified to meet specific quality standards for cut, color, clarity and carat weight by the GIA (Gemological Institute of America) and the AGSL (American Gem Society Laboratories). Here is the detail of that standard
Choose the right Diamond’s Shape for low budget wedding ring
Diamonds come in different shapes such as Round, Heart, Square. Rectangular, Oval, Pear, Marquise, Radiant, Trilliant. You will be pleased to know that the Pear, Marquise, and Oval diamond shapes tend to look larger than the other shapes. It is also good to know that the Round diamond shape is the most popular. If you have a tight budget you can choose those there shape to got the illusion of a BIG wedding ring
Perfect Cut for a perfect wedding ring
A diamond should be cut so that light reflects down into it and back up through the many facets. If a diamond is cut too shallow or too deep, light passes through the facets and down rather than being refracted back up to the admiring eye. Check with your jeweler for further guidance about cut and how this affects the sparkle of a diamond. But in general diamonds cut are divided into four type which is, Brilliant Cut, Step and Mixed Cut, Unique or Patented Cuts, Antique Cuts.
A Diamond’s Clarity
Like water shining through a crystal clear glass of water, a diamond that is perfect is free of inclusions or imperfections. Inclusions are tiny fractures or trace minerals that have been present in the stone since its formation in the earth. Diamonds are rated for clarity using the following scale:
Clarity
Rating Description
FL Flawless, no internal or external finish flaws.
IF Internally flawless, no internal flaws.
VVS1 Very very slightly included.
VVS2 Very difficult to see inclusions under 10x magnification.
VS1 Very slightly included.
VS2 Difficult to see inclusions under 10x magnification, typically unable to see inclusions with unaided eye.
SI1 Slightly included.
SI2 Easy to see inclusions under 10x magnification, may not be able to see inclusions with unaided eye.
Perfect Color for a perfect wedding ring
Before the year 2000, a diamond should appear on a clear and limpid, and the prize will reduce if it contains a color on it. Brilliance of a diamond’s sparkle is affected by the presence or absence of color. Color is rated on the following scale: A diamond is considered colorless or near-colorless if it is graded “D” through “J”. These diamonds are considered an excellent value. They appear colorless to the naked eye, unless they are compared with diamonds of even higher color grade. But now days diamond in color are more acceptable even with the less value.
A Diamond’s Carat Weight
If you invest in quality rather than quantity, you will never be disappointed. High standards of quality are a reflection of character. More important than the size of the diamond is the brilliance and the light that it casts.
