Design Your Own Engagement Ring with Custom Diamond Accents
Shopping for an engagement ring can be simultaneously one of the most exhilarating and most stressful experiences a man will have in his entire lifetime. But you can eliminate the anxiety surrounding that seemingly endless search for the perfect ring by designing your own engagement ring with custom diamond accents.
What Are Diamond Accents, Exactly?
The traditional diamond engagement ring is centered round a solitaire diamond, but these days that classic style can be easily enhanced and customized with the simple addition of diamond accents. These can be incorporated into the ring design as embellishments along the band, or the focal point of the ring itself as a creative and shapely jacket. Either way, this is a that truly unique piece of jewelry; the perfect symbol of your one-of-a-kind love.
How to Design Your Own Engagement Ring
Engagement ring shopping is stressful enough, so why would you increase the pressure by trying to design your own ring? Actually, this option makes the whole process that much simpler. To simply shop pre-fab ring designs, you could literally search for days, browsing the thousands of options. On the other hand, by designing your own diamond accents engagement rings, you can target just the loose diamond shapes you’re interested, pairing them up with suggested settings, and enhancing the solitaire to complete your custom look with diamond accents. If you like, you can often substitute alternate gemstone accents with her favorite color or stone for a custom engagement ring that’s really all about her personal taste and style.
Choosing the Right Diamond
It’s good to know a little bit about loose diamonds if you want to be sure you’re getting a good deal. This aspect doesn’t need to be intimidating; you just need to have a little knowledge of the “four C’s.” The characteristics of cut, color, clarity and carat weight are the elements upon which loose diamonds are graded by agencies such as the GIA. What’s important to remember here is that when it comes to creating a beautiful diamond engagement ring, the key factor is the brilliance of the diamonds selected – much more so than size or price. And accents are a great way to add brilliance to a ring without breaking the bank on a huge (and very expensive) diamond solitaire.
Designing your own diamond accents engagement rings is a great way to show her that you’re willing to go the “extra mile” when it comes to making her happy…a great first impression on your future together.
