What Type of Engagement Ring Should I Buy?

Image
There are a number of options for the style of engagement ring that you go for, but the main issue, especially in this financial climate is the budget. The budget will be determined by the cut, carat size and the precious metal that you use to mount the gem. Obviously gold and platinum will be more costly but equally for a special ring that is going to last you a lifetime, anything less would not quite be up to scratch. The size of the diamond or the number of diamonds you have on your ring will also bump up the costs. Now remember that you do not need to stick to a  diamond  as there are so many gemstones that can be used in the perfect engagement ring. You can often find a smaller but clearer diamond or gem which gives more sparkle than a larger less clear gemstone, and it is probably better to go for the smaller one in terms of the healing benefits of a gemstone that a large one with imperfections. In this article we are not going to go into much detail about cut...

Classic, elegant, timeless – it’s no wonder that solitaire engagement rings have remained one of the most popular ring styles for over a century. WHAT IS A  SOLITAIRE ENGAGEMENT  RING? Solitaire settings feature a single diamond, which allows your diamond’s brilliance to be the focal point of your ring. The enduring simplicity of solitaire rings also means they can accommodate a wide variety of diamond shapes and sizes. Round diamonds are the classic choice for solitaire engagement rings, but fancy shaped diamonds like cushion, oval, pear, radiant, and emerald cut are popular options as well. 3 carat solitaire diamond rings or larger sizes look stunning and make an engagement ring a true statement piece, but a diamond doesn’t have to be that large to make an impact! Elements like metal color and intricate details can give a solitaire ring a distinct look, unique to the wearer’s personal style. Rose gold solitaire engagement rings make for a look that’s at once vintage ...

MOISSANITE DIAMOND v/s REAL DIAMOND

Image
What is Moissanite? Moissanite  is a gemstone born from the stars. It was first discovered in 1893 by a French scientist named Henri Moissan, who later won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. He discovered microscopic particles of the gem that would eventually bear his name in Arizona, in a crater created by a meteorite that fell to Earth. He initially thought that he had discovered diamonds, but later determined that the crystals were composed of silicon carbide. Natural moissanite is incredibly rare, so moissanite available today is laboratory-created. After many years of trial and error, the particles Moissan discovered were successfully synthesized to produce what is now one of the world’s most scintillating gemstones. Moissanite is engineered to give the illusion of similarity to diamonds, but is compositionally and visually quite different from a real diamond. The durability,  brilliance , and color of the two gems are quite distinct. COMPARING DURABILITY Diamonds...
