Buy The Biggest Diamond Engagement Ring For Your
Budget!
It has come time for you to buy a diamond engagement ring
and you are dreading every moment. Number one, it is your time to
shine... You have to come through on this because it will be with her
for the rest of your life. It can either be a ring that she will look at
and love for ever and ever, or it will be a reminder of why did she ever
say yes. Don't fear. I have already been through this process and it is
not so bad and you can actually get a large diamond engagement ring
without going too broke in the process... continued below...
Number one, forget everything that your girlfriend said about
the size of the diamond not mattering, it definitely does matter.
Number two, don't be offended and think any less of your soon to be wife
for wanting a large diamond... it's perfectly natural and okay. Now
what. Well, you could opt for
diamond alternative
engagement rings.
You need to learn a little bit about diamonds in order to succeed in
this. You don't have to become a gemologist; you just need to know a
few important points in order to make a good decision. Learn the diamond
4Cs: Cut, Clarity, Color, and Carat. There are links at the end of
this which will tell about the 4Cs. Next set your budget;
just name a price that is the absolute most you want to spend and stick
to it.
Shop for you diamond in pieces. This means that you
will need to buy your diamond and your engagement ring setting
separately. It is okay to buy loose diamonds online. In fact,
that is how you are going to save the most money and be able to buy a
larger diamond. There are many reputable diamond sellers online
and I have a directory of some of the better ones at the bottom of this
article as well.
When you are searching for your diamond, put in the price range that
you are able to spend on the diamond. Next, adjust the clarity down to
SI2. SI2 clarity is the lowest clarity that is still eye clean. This
means that unless you carry around a jeweler's loupe, you are never
going to notice any imperfections. What this means to you is that you
can buy a good looking large diamond engagement ring, but without the
excess cost. Another area that you can increase your size and decrease
your expenditure is by lowering the color quality. Anything from D Color
to J Color is perfectly fine.
This means that reducing the Diamond Color to I or J, along with
reducing the Diamond Clarity to eye clean quality of SI2 or SI1 will
greatly increase the size of the diamond that you will be able to
afford.
Try to buy your setting locally and get the input of your fiancé on
the type of setting she is looking for. Unless you know your
girlfriend's ring size exactly, it is better to have your diamond set
locally by a qualified jeweler who will be able to size and resize the
ring accordingly.
It's not so hard to get the ring that she will love for years to come
and will want to wear and show off to all of her friends too. Take
charge of this one and it will pay off in the end.
