Understanding Her Style

Before Diving Into The Specifics Of Diamond Cuts And Settings, It's Crucial To Understand Your Partner’s Personal Style. Take Note Of The Jewelry She Already Wears. Does She Prefer Classic, Minimalist Pieces, Or Does She Lean Towards Bold, Statement Jewelry? If You’re Unsure, Discreetly Ask Her Friends Or Family For Advice. Understanding Her Style Is The First Step In Choosing A Ring She’ll Cherish Forever.

Choosing The Right Metal

The Metal You Choose For The Engagement Ring Will Set The Tone For Its Overall Look. At Less Diamond, We Offer A Variety Of Metals, Each With Its Own Unique Characteristics:

  • White Gold: A More Affordable Alternative To Platinum, White Gold Is Coated With Rhodium To Give It A Similar Bright White Finish.
  • Yellow Gold: A Timeless Classic, Yellow Gold Adds Warmth And Elegance To Any Ring.
  • Rose Gold: For A Modern And Romantic Touch, Rose Gold Has A Subtle Pink Hue That’s Becoming Increasingly Popular.

Consider Her Skin Tone And Personal Preferences When Choosing The Metal. Some Women Prefer The Classic Look Of Yellow Gold, While Others May Favor The Contemporary Feel Of White Or Rose Gold.

The 4 Cs: Cut, Color, Clarity, And Carat

When It Comes To Diamonds, The 4 Cs—Cut, Color, Clarity, And Carat—Are Essential Factors That Determine A Diamond’s Quality And Value.

  • Cut: The Cut Of A Diamond Affects Its Brilliance. A Well-Cut Diamond Reflects Light Beautifully, Making It Sparkle From Every Angle. Popular Cuts Include Round, Princess, Emerald, And Oval.
  • Color: Diamonds Range In Color From Completely Colorless (The Most Valuable) To Light Yellow Or Brown. At Jewel Carts, We Recommend Choosing A Diamond In The D-F Color Range For The Best Quality.
  • Clarity: Clarity Refers To The Presence Of Imperfections Or Inclusions In A Diamond. The Fewer The Inclusions, The Higher The Clarity Grade. Most Imperfections Are Not Visible To The Naked Eye, So You Can Choose A Slightly Lower Clarity Grade To Save On Cost Without Compromising On Appearance.
  • Carat: Carat Weight Measures The Size Of The Diamond. While Larger Diamonds Are More Expensive, It’s Important To Balance Size With Quality. A Well-Cut, Smaller Diamond Can Often Look More Brilliant Than A Larger, Poorly Cut One.

      Selecting The Perfect Setting

      The Setting Of The Moissanite Diamond Ring Is Just As Important As The Diamond Itself. The Setting Showcases The Diamond And Can Enhance Its Appearance. Some Popular Settings Include:

      • Solitaire: A Single Diamond On A Simple Band, The Solitaire Setting Is Classic And Timeless.
      • Halo: A Central Diamond Surrounded By Smaller Diamonds, The Halo Setting Adds Extra Sparkle And Makes The Center Stone Appear Larger.
      • Three-Stone: Symbolizing The Past, Present, And Future, The Three-Stone Setting Features Three Diamonds Of Equal Or Graduated Size.
      • Pavé: The Band Is Encrusted With Small Diamonds, Creating A Continuous Sparkle Around The Ring.

      Consider Her Lifestyle When Choosing A Setting. If She Leads An Active Lifestyle, A Lower-Profile Setting Like A Bezel May Be More Practical.

      Setting A Budget

      Setting A Budget Is A Critical Step In The Engagement Ring Buying Process. While It’s Easy To Get Carried Away, It’s Important To Choose A Ring That Fits Within Your Financial Means. At Less Diamond, We Offer A Wide Range Of Options To Suit Every Budget, Without Compromising On Quality Or Style.

      Remember, It’s Not About The Cost Of The Ring But The Thought And Love Behind It. Consider What’s Important To Your Partner—Would She Prefer A Larger Diamond, Or Would She Value A Unique Design Or Meaningful Inscription More?

      Considering Customization

      For A Truly One-Of-A-Kind Ring, Consider Customizing The Design. At Jewel Carts, We Offer Personalized Services That Allow You To Create A Ring That Reflects Your Partner’s Individuality. Whether It’s Incorporating A Family Heirloom, Choosing A Unique Gemstone, Or Engraving A Special Message, Customization Adds A Personal Touch That Will Make The Ring Even More Special.

      Getting The Right Size

      Ensuring The Ring Fits Perfectly Is Essential. If You’re Unsure Of Her Ring Size, Try Borrowing One Of Her Rings (From The Correct Finger) And Have It Measured By A Jeweler. Alternatively, Ask Her Friends Or Family For Help, Or Trace The Inside Of One Of Her Rings On A Piece Of Paper. Remember, It’s Easier To Resize A Ring Down Than Up, So If In Doubt, Go Slightly Larger. 

      Timing Your Purchase

      Timing Is Everything When It Comes To Purchasing An Engagement Ring. Give Yourself Plenty Of Time To Research, Compare Options, And Make The Best Decision. If You’re Considering A Custom Design, Start The Process Early To Ensure It’s Ready In Time For Your Proposal.

      Shopping For An Engagement Ring Is A Significant Milestone, And At Jewel Carts, We’re Here To Guide You Every Step Of The Way. By Considering Her Style, Understanding The 4 Cs, And Choosing The Right Setting, You’ll Be Well On Your Way To Finding The Perfect Ring That Symbolizes Your Love And Commitment.
