Choosing the perfect engagement ring for the bride-to-be
Do you know how the tradition of wearing an engagement ring on
the fourth finger of the left hand started? The ancient
Egyptians started this tradition symbolizing undying love as
they believe the love vein Vena Amoris ran directly from this
finger to the heart. Later in AD 860 the Pope Nicolas I made
this practice of wearing gold engagement ring official.
Here are some engagement ring ideas.
You want to be unique. Consider getting a colored diamond. They
are rarer than white diamonds. In fact, only one in 10,000
diamonds is a colored one .The colors range from yellow, pink
and blue. Remember Jennifer Lopez's infamous pink diamond
engagement ring ? A pink diamond ring is extremely rare and very
expensive with prices starting from more than a hundred
thousand. Yellow diamond is more common than the other colors
and is definitely more attainable for a well to do couple.
Generally, colored diamonds cost 25 to 50% more than white
diamonds. In either case, choose a quality diamond by looking at the 4Cs.
Couples are also opting for bigger diamonds. The traditional
one carat engagement ring has been superseded by 3 to 5
carat diamond engagement ring.
There are many new ideas for engagement rings. You can choose
new diamond settings too. I understand solitare diamond is the
most popular followed by the princess cut. The bezel setting is
now very popular . Instead of the diamond being elevated, it is
surrounded by metal. How about a tension set diamond engagement
ring? The diamond seems to float and is actually held on its
edges. It looks very cool.
Three stone rings are also hot now, the bigger center
diamond
is accented on both sides by smaller stones of the same shape.
Guy Ritchie and Madonna,Phil Bronstein and Sharon Stone are two
of the hottest Hollywood couples currently sporting them.
If you really want to be unique, consider antique diamond or
heirloom diamond jewelry where the cutting was actually done
manually by craftsman. You can then take out the old setting and
place the diamond in a new modern setting. Alternatively, you
can also consider getting a new diamond to be placed in your old
setting thus making it unique.
The choice of metal is also important. Platinum is sought after
for its hypoallergenic properties. It is stronger and heavier
than gold and will remain tarnish free forever compared to gold.
Here are some platinum diamond engagement rings. Other innovative
use of metal include two toned rings and even rings that combine
three metals.
If you want different gemstone, consider alternative gemstones
like Sapphires, rubies and emeralds.
If money is an issue, consider getting a gemstone that looks
like the real thing such as Cubic zirconia or moissanite.
Moissanite rates an impressive 9.25 on the Mohs scale ( a
diamond is a perfect 10) which is harder than emeralds and
rubies.A one-carat moissanite cost about $500 while a diamond of
the same size may set you back by $6,000. You can always upgrade
to a diamond ring on your next wedding anniversary.
