Whether you’re looking for the perfect pair of earrings, a new necklace, or an engagement ring, choosing the perfect diamond is no easy task. There are many things to consider such as cut, color, and size. So, how do you go about choosing the perfect diamond? Keep reading to find out.
Cut
Choosing the cut of your diamond can change the style and look of the jewelry piece. There are ten basic diamond shapes which are as follows: the cushion, oval, round, pear, emerald, heart, marquise, radiant, Asscher, and princess. With this wide variety of cuts, make sure you try on rings in each style to ensure you know which one you want.
Color
Diamonds come in more colors than just white. Colored diamonds, such as green, pink, red, orange, blue, yellow, etc., actually contain impurities or structural defects that make them colored. Pure diamonds are only transparent and colorless. To choose the color of your diamond, ask yourself if you want to stand out or not. A colored diamond is sure to make your ring unique and different from your friends. On the other hand, a white diamond is classic and will never go out of style.
Size
The size of your diamond all depends on your budget. The larger the diamond, the more expensive it will be. While big diamonds may seem like the way to go, there is nothing wrong with a small quarter-carat diamond. Consult your local jeweler to find the best fit for you and your budget.
