DIAMOND ENGAGEMENT RINGS

Often the when we refer to the carat of a diamond, people mistakenly believe that we are referring to the size. However, this is not the case.

A diamond's carat refers to the weight of the stone, not the size. It probably won't mean anything to you right now, but to make you aware in case your jeweller refer to it, one carat is the equivalent of 100 points - therefore, a 50 point diamond weighs ½ carat. There isn't really anything else to say on the matter of carat's and we don't have a chart for you this time I'm afraid!

We will leave you with one simple piece of information on carat's, and that is the weightier the stone in diamond engagement rings, the heftier the bill!

Shape

Outside of the 4 C’s there really is only one other key decision you will need to make when choosing diamond engagement rings, and that is the shape.

The shape of the stone defines the ring more than any other characteristic, so it is imperarative that you pay utmost attention to it. With so many options available, think carefully before making the final decision. It is fair to say that whilst the 4 C's are essential things to consider, unless your partners friends and family take a really close look at the ring, then the actual shape of the stone is probably all they will be aware of.
