A little more detail
Most of these points are self explanatory, but just to help you understand some of the finer points, let's go into a little more detail on some of the more detailed areas of buying diamonds.
Hints for buying diamonds
The following are some general tips for buying diamonds jewellery. We hope that they will help you to find exactly the right diamonds for you.
The Four C's
When buying a diamond engagement ring, or any diamond products, it is always advisable to follow the four c's.
- Cut: There are nine different cuts of diamond: Round, Brilliant, Princess cut, Emerald cut, Oval, Assher cut, Marquise cut, Radiant cut and Heart shaped.
- Carat: Depending on how much you want to spend, the carat is the weight of the diamond. You can choose from a tenth of a carat to one carat diamonds depending on your budget.
- Clarity: diamond often has inclusions that may look like tiny crystals, clouds or feathers. The fewer the inclusions, the greater the clarity and the more valuable the diamond.
- Colour: The best colour for a diamond is no colour at all. Diamonds are graded from colourless to yellow.
Ring size?
It is impossible to guess someone's ring size, but very important to get it right. Imagine trying to slide the ring onto her finger and it being too small? So, if you can, get hold of one of her rings and take it with you to your nearest Ernest Jones store to have its size checked. But remember to put it back, you don't want her thinking it's been stolen. If you can't get hold of one of her rings, ask her, discreetly if you can. It is very important to get the size right.
Which metal?
Have a look at her jewellery box to see if she prefers yellow gold, or white gold. Or maybe she likes platinum, particularly if she has sensitive skin. Once you have established which metal she prefers you will be one big step closer to buying exactly the right diamond engagement ring.
