Impress Your Partner With A Stunning Diamond Engagement Ring

September 8th, 2010

There is a lot of pressure that comes along with buying a diamond engagement ring. Clearly, you want your girlfriend and future wife to be very wowed by the sight of her engagement ring, and that means picking out the right one. The question is where do you begin?

If you are like most people, the constraint on what type of ring you will buy is your budget. If money is tight, it is important to set your budget before you begin shopping. The last thing you want to do is find the perfect ring and get your heart set on it before you realize that you can’t afford it. What you want to do is find the best ring, with the biggest diamond, that you can afford. You will find that there are lots of ring styles and diamond sizes to choose from, and while this makes the shopping and selection more interesting, it can also make the process more challenging for you to narrow down to the perfect ring.

There are lots of places to shop for rings. Some are pretty standard, like the chain jewelry stores at the mall, or the small local jeweler downtown. Others are newer, like utilizing the Internet to find online sellers. Rather than going the traditional route of buying a ring, you might consider finding a jewelry craftsman who could design and make a ring for you. If you want to have a unique ring that is just as one-of-a-kind as your fiance, this might be the way to go.

An option that you might not have considered is to use a family ring as the engagement ring. This could be the ring that your grandfather gave your grandmother, and you want to keep it in the family by presenting it to your fiance. Besides being a very heartfelt option, this is one way to save some money. A compromise on this approach might be to take the setting from a family member’s ring and purchase a new diamond for it; or in reverse, take the diamond from your grandmother’s ring and have a new setting created for your fiance.

Another option that you might be able to consider is a family heirloom ring that could be used to serve as an engagement ring. For some families, there is a tradition of handing a ring down through the generations. Even if this is not true in your family, it never hurts to explore the possibility of starting such a tradition with a ring that belongs to a family member. Starting such a tradition would give your fiance an endearing story to tell.

Diamond Engagement Rings – Special Diamond Rings

September 3rd, 2010

Not all diamond rings are used as diamond engagement rings. Diamond engagement rings are special rings because they signify the promise to marry. Men will traditionally present women with a diamond engagement ring after the proposal. While some women get diamond engagement rings as a surprise, others help choose them. It is helpful for a man to have an inclination as to what his girlfriend likes when it comes to diamond rings as well as a good idea of her ring size before he buys her an engagement ring.  While the charm of being surprised with diamond engagement rings is something that every woman dreams about, this does not work if she ends up hating the ring. 

 

Some diamond rings consist of clusters of diamonds and other precious stones. Diamond engagement rings usually consist of one large diamond and a symmetrical pattern, often of other diamonds or precious gems.  In some cases, diamond engagement rings are only one diamond. These are very traditional types of engagement rings and are usually a safe option, especially if the woman in mind tends to prefer simple and more understated jewelry. 

 

A man who is choosing diamond rings for a woman is usually choosing them for his wife or soon to be wife. Diamond engagement rings are not the only rings that men choose for women. There are also anniversary bands that feature diamonds as well as those diamond rings that commemorate the birth of children. Years ago, women often wore diamond cocktail rings that consisted of a cluster of diamonds. For many women, diamond engagement rings are the only diamond rings that they have. Others have several different settings that they wear on occasion. 

 

Diamond rings are most often chosen as gifts. While they can be worn by both men and women, rings for women greatly dominate the diamond ring industry. For men, these rings are usually smaller and consist of a single stone, although some men like to wear diamond wedding bands. 

 

When choosing diamond engagement rings, it is important to also consider the wedding band. While some people buy the wedding bands at the same time they buy the engagement rings, others wait until it is closer to the date to choose the bands. 

 

Anyone who wants to present a woman with an engagement ring as a surprise should have an idea of what she likes in a ring. Many of the diamond engagement rings today are white gold as this is the current trend.  This is not a new trend as white gold and platinum were both considered to be the standard when it came to diamond rings from the 1930s to the 1960s.  The 1960s saw yellow gold coming into style, although now the trend is back to white gold and platinum when it comes to the ring setting. The ring setting can be simple or elaborate. The metal can be brushed or it can be polished. Having a good idea of what your girlfriend likes when it comes to rings makes choosing diamond engagement rings that you give her as a surprise all the easier. 

Not all diamond rings are diamond engagement rings . There are many options when it comes to choosing fine rings for both men and women. Go to Hancocks Jewellers to learn more.

Exposing The Real Price Of Diamond Engagement Rings

August 31st, 2010

The presentation and acceptance of a diamond engagement ring is one of the major highlights in a couple journey through life.   However, take a step back and look at the route that your diamond has taken to reach you.  Are you completely sure that it comes from a legitimate source?

The issue of conflict diamonds came roaring into the public domain in 2006 when the Hollywood blockbuster movie “Blood Diamond” was released, starring Leonardo di Caprio.  Set against the backdrop of civil war in the 1990s, it highlighted the plight of many diamond producing countries and the many people who worked the mines.

Conflict diamonds is the term given to diamonds which are mined in areas of conflict.  The human cost of conflict diamonds is vast, with legitimate stories from certain African nations being extremely distressing, involving the lives of men, women and children alike.  Workers are often subjected to harsh working conditions, and earn pittance.  The rough diamonds are then siezed by the malitia, and the funds generated from the mining of the diamonds are often used to fund wars against legitimate governments or similar activities.  These rough diamonds find their way into the diamond supply chain, are cut, certified and sold to retailers who then sell to the public.  At its height in the 1990s, it was believed that conflict diamonds accounted for anywhere between 5-10% of the world’s diamonds.

In the year 2000, the diamond industry launched its own process of self-regulation, called the Kimberely Process.  This requires that all rough diamonds be sealed and certified at source, so their background can be traced.  Nowadays, it is believed that only 1% of all diamonds are conflict diamonds.  Yes, the Kimberly Process has been successful, but even 1% is 1% too many.

Upon purchasing your diamond engagement ring, any reputable jeweller will be able to demonstrate that your diamond has followed the Kimberly Process.  Ask them to prove it.  If they’ve nothing to hide, then it won’t be a problem. 

It takes a joint effort by everyone involved in the jewellery business including, to a certain extent, those consumers purchasing diamonds, to ensure that we all do our bit to stamp out this disgraceful trade in conflict diamonds.  After all, a diamond is a token of love, and is not something which should be tarnished by a dark history.
