Understand The 4 C’s of a Diamond Wedding Ring

The first trick to understanding what you should be looking for in your diamond ring is understanding the 4 C’s of diamonds- carat, cut, color, and clarity.  Carat is, of course, the size and weight of the diamond and is the biggest factor people look at when choosing a diamond which is bad because they often overlook the other points. The cut of the diamond refers to the way the diamond has been shaped. Is it a princess cut or a simple cut or a cut that enhances the natural sparkle of a diamond? Color is the shade of the diamond Not all diamonds are clear/white and in fact, most diamonds have some degree of color to them. And finally, the clarity of the diamond refers to whether there are any imperfections visible in the diamond itself that detracts from its shine. With the 4 C’s in mind, you will be better prepared to find the diamond wedding ring that is just right!

 

 

Set Up a Personal Budget and Stick to It

It is vital to any successful wedding plan endeavor to have a firm and detailed budget in place before you begin looking at diamond engagement rings or wedding bands. There is no special price that you have to look for on a certain ring to make it special. There is no need to spends 6 months of paychecks on a ring if you can find something she will like just as much for half the price. Only you and your partner can determine what is best for you and what fits within your budget. While diamond a still considered a girl’s best friend, there are ways to get that beautiful ring without blowing your entire budget on those matching bands. Know your budget limits and stick to it. Working with a wedding planner canny help you navigate the jewelry dealers and can give you someone to help you stay on track with your budget.

 

Selecting Diamonds For Your Engagement Rings

When you begin the process of shopping around for your diamond rings be prepared to see a lot of diamonds and a lot of rings. Some couples today still go the traditional approach of having the man buy the rings. Some people still like the surprise factor of not knowing, but many women today also like having some control and input and appreciate being involved in the process. Whether you are shopping alone or together, it is absolutely necessary to make sure you visit reputable dealers and jewelers. Be on the lookout for imitation and defects in the diamonds you look at. Cashmere Dreams’ wedding planners have helped thousands of couples find the perfect rings and know what jewelers you can trust in the area and who to avoid.

Consider Diamond Wedding Ring Needs

Another thing to consider as you look at the various engagement rings and wedding rings at the jewelers is the wedding bands. When buying diamond for your rings you need to think about the band and how that will affect the size, placement, and appearance of the diamonds you are looking at. Keep in mind that many couples decide to have wedding bands that match and will often wear the diamond wedding ring and engagement ring together. Other times the engagement ring will be moved to another finger on the day of the wedding and the two will be worn separately.  When looking at the bands your engagement or wedding ring will have think about the colors, materials, size, and pricing points. It needs to look good with the diamond in place or it won’t be of much good to anyone.
