Design Engagement Rings Is A lot Of Fun
Getting engaged is one of the most exhilarating events in your life and the choice of the engagement ring one of the most important.
Before you go and spend all your hard earned money at your local jewelry store you might want to shop around a bit for a great quality engagement ring at a greatly reduced price. This can be done by designing your own engagement ring.
In order to do this you need to find a reputable wholesale dealer in quality GIA certified diamonds that also has the option to design engagement rings.
The first step would be for you to choose a diamond. This seems like a simple process but if you are smart you will study the 4 C's of diamonds a little bit to ensure that you choose a high quality diamond and chances are you can get it at a great price. Diamonds with no color, ideal cut, flawless clarity and bigger carat are the rarest and most valuable.
Once the diamond is selected the next step wold be to choose the setting. You can choose a prong setting if you want to highlight the stone with a tight grip. Choose a channel setting if you want the stone to have a flowing look to it. If you chose a princess cut diamond I would recommend you choose a bezel setting as it protects the edges of the diamond really good.
The last item to consider is the ring. Choose the material that you can afford. Platinum is a popular choice but it is expensive. Other metals such as gold, or white gold, are a lot cheaper. Whatever metal you choose for your ring, you should never allow the stone to overwhelm the diamond.
You can also add finishing touches to the ring such as etchings or other details.
The result is a home designed engagement ring that has a stone of the highest quality but a fraction of the cost that will be absolutely unique. You wife to be will adore it.
