How to Buy a Diamond Ring

Diamonds are always considered to be the classic gemstone that easily represent elegance, allure, and style.  Therefore, it is easy to see why diamond jewelry is so very popular and considered to be a must-have for all fashion-conscious people across the globe.  Who could blame them though?  The perfect shimmer, the irresistible shine, and the amazing durability combined into a single gemstone makes it seem as though anyone wanting to stand out with their personal jewelry collection needs to have a diamond foundation.  Any honest jeweler will freely admit to the dominance of the diamond ring among all the diamond-based pieces.  With all the selection options for your own diamond band though, it is easy to become overwhelmed.  To solve this problematic situation, the fine jewelry industry has helped to take some of the pressure off you by its simple “4 C’s” philosophy when it comes to diamonds—carat, clarity, color, and cut.  You do not need to be an expert in gemology to understand these terms, but they are of great assistance as they can narrow the field for you once you choose the overall carat sizing, what level of clarity, what shade of coloring, and your favorite cut for your next diamond ring.

Diamond rings for women in particular need this baseline and easy to remember guide as a way to battle through the nearly limitless designs, styles, and options.  As women’s diamond bands are most commonly associated with engagement and wedding rings, it may come as a surprise to some people that a right hand diamond ring can be the perfect accessory for your jewelry box and bring a sense of allure and grace to even the most basic outfits—particularly if you concentrate on the “cut” aspect of the 4 C’s as a complex shape such as the angular choices of marquis or even triangle can really grab some attention while the lower key options like brilliant or oval are perfect for added shine in your day to day activities and normal occasions.  Yet, for those of you who just want a lovely band with as many diamonds as possible, specialized diamond circlet pieces have been made exactly for you!  A five stone diamond ring is exactly what its name implies—five breathtaking diamond gems placed alongside each other that easily cover the entire top of your finger but allow for flexibility and mobility as a band flows along the underside of your finger.  If you do not think that those primary characteristics are of any concern and simply want as many diamonds as possible, a diamond eternity ring is the better choice for you.  It is a circle band with small, perfectly cut diamonds squished onto every last centimeter of the ring to basically create a row of diamonds neatly wrapped around your entire finger.  As all diamonds are a small piece of perfection though, just be sure to follow the guide of your personal fashion sense!
