Diamond rings are classy, stylish and romantic

hen jewellers and diamond experts talk about fine hand crafted jewellery, they may include stunning and versatile diamond rings in the same breath. It is true, diamond rings are always very much in demand. This may be because of their monetary value, their beautiful faceting and superior craftsmanship, or because of what these gems represent: devoted friendship, burning passion and eternal love. Diamond rings are listed among the top gifts for anniversaries, are an essential part of weddings, and engagements, and can make for a brilliant birthday gift. Who knows, if you are lucky someone may buy you a princess cut diamond ring, just because they want to show they care.

Quite popular among diamond cutters, the ‘princess cut’ is square when viewed from the top. From all the different cuts, this technique wastes the least of the original crystal and is one of the newer diamond shapes, often used in engagement rings. It is especially suited for long, elegant fingers.

Diamond rings are classy, stylish and synonymous with romance. There are so many types of ring to choose from that there definitely are enough stunning possibilities to accommodate most budgets. Despite all the choices and price ranges, sometimes it is still impossible to find that ‘perfect’ ring, the one just right for your sweetheart. In that case you may want to design your own. A reputable and experienced jeweller or wholesaler like JP Diamonds, from North Sydney, believes that each customer should be treated as an individual, regardless if he is buying diamond rings, bands, earrings, bracelets, a pendant from their extensive diamond collection, or prefers a unique, personal diamond ring design. Their qualified designers are professionals, who will gladly offer expert advice, greatly empathise to each customer’s requirement, and will gladly execute each custom design to the smallest detail.

Until the beginning of the 20th Century, the history of engagement, or betrothal rings seems to be more myth and fantasy than actual fact. Today, diamond engagement rings symbolise everlasting purity, love, devotion and commitment between two people and are mostly worn by women. As, in today’s society, partners often live together before marriage, it is becoming more common for a couple to select the diamond engagement ring together, often purchasing matching wedding bands at the same time.

If you are in the market for dazzling diamond jewellery, and want to grade your purchases, familiarise yourself with the four C’s: clarity, colour, carat and cut. ‘Clarity’ describes the clearness or purity of a diamond, and is determined by the number, size, nature, and location of imperfections. The ‘colour’ of a diamond usually ranges from colourless to yellow, with slight tints of yellow, grey or brown. The ‘carat’ is the unit of weight for the diamond, while the ‘cut’ refers to a diamond’s brilliance. The ‘cut’ is the only aspect depending on a human touch and will be used to refer to a diamond’s proportions, finish, symmetry, and the level of polishing. The better the cut a vibrant diamond has, the more expensive it will be!
