Select The Right Diamond For Yourself

With so many designs to choose from, finding the right diamond can be overwhelming. Keep a note of these while selecting your ring:

Decide Your Budget

Diamonds come in all shapes and sizes. Each design carries a unique style that comes with a specific price tag. So, it’s important that you carve a budget for yourself. This step is essential because it’s easy to run over your budget if you are not aware of your options. To form an effective strategy, start with forming your favorable combination of 4Cs( Carat Weight, Color, Cut, and Clarity).

Select The Shape 

The shape of the diamond is the major deciding factor for most buyers. Well, it’s worth noting that the shape is different from the cut. Experts use cut to evaluate the quality of the diamond and it refers to the facets and angles of the stone. The most popular selling shapes are princess, cushion, and round cut. At James Douglas, we offer an extensive variety of shapes to choose from. Whether you need a princess cut engagement rings or a pear-shaped engagement ring, our experts will match you with the right one in no time. 

Decide The Carat Size

In addition to the shape and cut, carat size is of prime importance. It essentially dictates the amount you’ll spend on a particular diamond. On average, the carat weight for most engagement rings sits between 1 and 1.2 carats. Well, that doesn’t mean that your ring needs to be that weight, but our customers have told us that it’s great to have a benchmark for reference. The carat weight is important because it’s a measure of how well your diamond reflects light. 

Mastering the nuances of these factors might be a challenge for you. Well, you need not worry. We house the experts with years of experience to help you find a diamond that fits your budget and style.

How to Choose Engagement Rings in Pittsburgh?

There are four things you need to consider when buying the perfect engagement ring your significant other.

Cut

How a diamond is cut is very important. Being an octahedral crystalline structure, the ideal cut is the round, brilliant-cut with 57 facets which is how the most expensive diamonds are cut. This cut actually allows the most amount of light to be reflected which is what makes it so unique and beautiful. There are some significant characteristics of this cut - Table (topmost surface), Girdle - (widest part), Crown (the part that connects girdle and table), Culet (bottom point), and Pavilion (a group of facets going down from the girdle and meeting at the culet).

The quality of the cut is graded by the symmetricalness of the facets and the angles of the pavilion facets. Ideally, the pavilion facets are angled at 41 degrees to the girdle. These actually act as a mirror that reflects the light on the diamond which is what makes the physical appearance of the diamond. Of course, this is not the only cut that the diamonds are available in. You can go for cushion cut diamonds or princess cut diamonds. Both of them are also quite popular choices for engagement rings. A quality ring designer can lead an average ring to perfection. With industry experts designing a special one for you, rest assured, you and your love would cherish the engagement rings forever.

Color

Everyone loves colors, but the best and most expensive diamonds are actually colorless. They are graded from D to Z. From D to F, the diamonds are considered colorless, while others are saturated with bright colors. Although the price of the diamond is not exactly proportional to these grades. Some diamonds closer to grade Z are also quite expensive because of their unique color. So, you may decide which one to get according to your budget. You may be tempted to go for the colorless D, E, F or G, H, I, J which are white, but they can be expensive. So, if you have financial constraints consider going for L, M, and N diamonds.

These diamonds are prominent for their yellow tint but when set in yellow gold, they too appear colorless or white. So, when you decide which grade diamond you are looking for, trust James Douglas to provide you the best quality product and design. We also offer custom engagement rings, so you can choose the design that fits your style and we will design the same for you.

Clarity

A simple scratch on the surface or inside of the gemstone can prevent light from being reflected back to you in the desired manner, hampering the quality and clarity of the diamond. What could have been a beautiful engagement ring, a simple scratch can ruin it altogether. And that is why the more flawless a diamond is, the more expensive it is. You sure don’t want to give your love a flawed ring. Every ring that we make for our customers is made with finesse and care. You can check it with the diamond’s flawless grades that are mentioned on our rings.

The prices range according to these grades and you may choose the one that suits you the best. Many couples choose diamond rings to commemorate their promise to each other, we are mindful of that. This makes the ring all the more special. With experts carefully crafting an engagement ring for you, you can rest assured, every day that you and your love would wear the ring, it will remind you of each other like nothing else. So, the next time the question “where to buy engagement rings” pops up, you know the answer.

Carat

The size of the diamond doesn’t matter to the beauty and value of it as much as you may think. Although the weight of the stone surely does. The diamonds with more carat weights are more coveted and of course, would give you more bragging rights and delight. When purchasing engagement rings for women or men, you must remember that the price per carat increases with the size.

So, you must weigh the stones when selecting feature stones for the ring. What is important to us at James Douglas is that you get your money's worth by purchasing an engagement ring that fits perfectly with your style and taste. Share your preferences with us and we will show you a fine collection of diamond engagement rings for women and men.
