Proposing without a Diamond Ring I don’t think so!

There are so many options when looking to purchase Diamond Jewellery, whether it be online or in person at a local Jeweller. Each option has it’s appeal to everyone. Some buyers like the option of walking into a store and viewing something in person or getting to speak to a Jeweller first hand about their ideas. Others like the convenience and often discounted price that can be associated with online shopping. 

There is no doubt however that online shopping has become even more popular even for such a high priced and important purchase. Whether you are searching for Diamond Jewellery Sydney or New York, often online retailers are able to ship world wide which is a huge advantage for shoppers all over the world. The only consideration with purchasing Diamond Engagement Rings and Diamond Jewellery is the shipping and custom charges. Sometimes it can be more cost effective to purchase locally and sometimes the charges can be unexpected.

The usual place to start when shopping for Diamond Jewellery is often the budget and after a little research or learning about the difference in Diamond grades you’re set to start comparing. It’s important to consider what attributes are important to you and what sacrifices you are willing to make to purchase according to price. For example two Diamonds may be of similar price but one is a higher colour grade and lower clarity. For some shapes colour is more important, for others it can be sacrificed as clarity is more important. Size is probably the biggest factor when looking at price and usually Diamonds in the half carat and full carat sizes for example 1ct and 1.5ct will cost significantly more than Diamonds just under a smidge of the full or half size. 

After deciding on what type of Diamond you would like for your Jewellery the next important decision is the setting. Looking at Engagement Rings, there are many types of settings to choose from. Solitaire Engagement Rings have been the most popular choice for decades and are still among the most purchased. The Diamond Band and Halo Engagement Ring have also been hugely popular and have also evolved to include more elaborate designs and small Diamond setting. 

The best way to determine what works with your ideal shape is to check on designs with the same Diamond shape or ask a qualified Jeweller what the options may be. There are certain settings which work better than others with certain shapes for example the round shapes work best in a claw setting whether it be four claw or six claw and tend to be tricky in an invisible or tension setting. 

The last choice couples face is whether to purchase a design created by a specific Jeweller or to opt for a custom design. The great thing about online retailers now is their ability to cater to clients looking to create a custom design. 

Which ever way a buyer chooses to go, shopping for a Diamond Jewellery is exciting and should be fun.
