The Diamonds In Engagement Rings

The diamond engagement ring:

First a brief comment on the design of the ring.

To taste colors, but of elegance and good taste is the design of the ring must be discreet, in that way will be the diamond that makes a difference. A diamond in the ornate design will not look it full force, and as is well known that the diamond will actually pay. Do not forget that a white gold ring weigh on average between 4 and 7 grams, which will make in the budget, the value of gold is something residual. But the main point which say that an engagement ring should be discreet, but because if something needs to emphasize above all is the diamond.

How to choose a diamond based on the budget:

There are 4 fundamental qualities of diamonds:

1 .- The weight of diamonds:

The weight of diamonds is measured in kt, and each unit is called minimal in hundredths KTE. 1 / 100 is a hundredth of kte, so one hundred hundredths equals one carat. One carat is equivalent to 0.20 grams.

2 .- The purity of diamonds:

There is an international classification for determining the purity of diamonds:

FL-IF VVS1-VVS2 VS1-VS2 SI1-SI2-SI3-PI3 PI2 PI1-

FL-IF: This type of diamonds are completely clean a 10-power magnification

VVS1-VVS2: diamonds with inclusions very difficult to see 10-power magnification.

VS1-VS2: diamonds very difficult to see inclusions to 10-power magnification.

SI1-2-3: Diamonds with inclusions easily spot small 10-power magnification. The SI1 is considered a good quality diamond jewelry.

PI1-PI2, PI3, are diamonds with inclusions visible to human eyes.

3 .- The color of diamonds:

As with the purity, the color has its own parameters for classification. The color of the diamonds are sorted by the alphabet. The colors start with the letter D (for best color) and end at the Z (brown or yellow color).

CLASSIFICATION:

DE: Also called river white colors are available.

F-G: They are called colors extra banks.

H: White, really interesting value for money.

IJK: colors are starting to take some shade. The I is a color almost white.

LZ: These letters called colors that enhance the brown / yellow, very low price in relation to the above. Not recommended for use in jewelry.

4 .- The size of the diamond:

In my view, and if we choose well known among the above qualities, the size will be the one to make a difference in a diamond. It is useless to choose the best color and best purity if the size is wrong. A diamond with a bad size is throwing money away.

Today diamonds classify different types of size:

EXCELLENT

VERY GOOD

GOOD

POOR

FAIR

Choose a size EXCELLENT or VERY GOOD will always be a success, because in this kind of size is the ability of the diamond to shine with all its intensity.

My recommendation:

Without a doubt would recommend a diamond G or H color, VS and even purity and SI1 VERY GOOD or EXCELLENT size.

The weight of the diamond with these characteristics depend on the budget that everyone has. But I think discrepción influencing the engagement ring in a weight should osciliar between 0.30 and 0.70 kt kt (on budget).
