Your Custom Engagement Ring – Part 2
When it comes to engagement rings, you can opt for a larger diamond than the traditional, standard size usually chosen. These are also available in the Asscher or Radiant cut, which are of square-topped shapes.
The colour of the ring
You will also need to decide what colour and metal you wish to have the band of your engagement or wedding rings. Most rings will either come as platinum, white or yellow gold bands.
The colour of the diamonds
Diamonds can come in several different colours, including red and blue but these can be incredibly pricey. With your traditional diamond, however, these are also split into colour bands depending on how colourless or tinted the diamond is. Most people wrongly assume that the diamond in their jewellery is colourless, when in fact colourless diamonds are rare and very expensive. Thus most people will have a mid-ranged diamond that is almost colourless. The more tinted a diamond, the more yellow it appears, but again the more tinted the more harder they are to come across and of course, they will be more expensive.
The carat of the diamond
Carats are the weight measurements for diamonds, and generally, the bigger the carat the more expensive the diamond. One carat is equal to 0.2 grams. However, it is not always true that the carat weight will provide the most expense to your diamond as all of the other features of your diamond will add to this, e.g. clarity.
Evidently, there is a lot to think about when it comes to opting for unique engagement rings, which is why we at Marlows Certified Diamonds are here to help you make your decision and to find the right diamond for you.
