The Basic C’s

What makes a diamond a true gem is determined by the 4 C’s: colour, clarity, cut, and carat weight. Ask for a gem report for the complete evaluation of the stone’s characteristics. 

Mental Metal

Choosing the right metal for the ring usually comes down to two things: durability and style. For instance, platinum is obviously the toughest of all known jewelry metals, and also works well with a white-coloured engagement ring.

Size Matters

Getting a ring resized could be too much trouble, so getting the comfortable size is crucial. Even simple every day changes in temperature and bodily states have a small impact on the size of the finger.

Be Practical

If you want to keep your ring on your finger all the time, you have to choose one that will fit your lifestyle. Elevated diamonds may not be the best choice for women who are always around children or are constantly working with their hands.

Certainty is Key

Rings are investments, too, and make sure you protect it from unforeseen circumstances such as theft, loss, or damage. Have the diamond’s certificate number inscribed if you want to be sure.
