Circle of Promise

You’ve finlly found the one, who deserves nothing but the best of you. It’s time to get that perfect ring for your beautiful bride–a nice diamond ring that sits pretty on her finger, blinding the guests with its sparkles. A wedding ring generally compromises of three parts–setting, metal band and the diamond.
Metal band
That would either be white gold, yellow gold or platinum. Just a note that the higher the karat rating for gold bands, there’s a higher percentage of pure gold in a piece, not only making it richer in colour but softer too. As the karat decreases, other metal elements are added. This will distort the colour to a reddish blue stone. Couples are opting more for a platinum metal band these days. It is the purest, rarest and heaviest precious metal that is not only very soft, but extremely dense.
Diamond
Ah, Known as a girl’s best firend and also highlight of the ring, it is the marvelous diamond. A diamond’s worth is measured by famous 4Cs–Carat, Clarity, Colour and Cut.
Carat is the unit of weight for the diamond. Though you might want a wind-blowingly huge diamond, it does not necessarily mean it will look nice on all women. You might need to consider the slenderness of your bride’s fingers to see if they fit together.
Claritydescribes the purity of a diamond. This is determined by the number, size, nature, and location of the internal and external imperfections.
Colour describes the amount of colour the diamond contains. This ranges from colourless to yellow with slight tints of yellow to brown, blue, green, pink, and red. These fancy colors are uncommon and therefor more valuable.
Cut refers to proportions, finish, symmetry and polish of the diamond. These factors determine the fine and brilliance of a diamond. Yes, quality cutting is the secret behind those spellbinding sparkles.
Setting
A setting is the mountings which attach the diamond to the ring’s band.
Solitaire: Timeless and elegant, solitaire rings remain as a brides’ favourite throughout the years.
The-Stone: A band that focuses not only on a single gem, but one that highlights a row of three matched stones. Each stone representing the past, present and future of a relationship.
Pave: Covering the band with smaller diamonds and a bigger one in the middle, the bling cannot be any more obvious than this.
Bezel: Known for its durability, bezel rings feature metal bands that wrap around a circular diamond to hold it in place.
Of course there are other alternatives, amongest which are the flush setting, bar setting and the chic invisible setting.
Since you’re going to marry this girl, it is expected of you to already know some of her perferences. You do not want to jeopardize your amazing, creative and romantic proposal so always remember to only buy diamonds from recegnized jewelery stores. Happy hunting!
