Right by Her; Selecting the Perfect Diamond

Wednesday, April 29th, 2009

(FashionGeek) - Selecting the “right” diamond for your fiancée is a wonderful way to express the love and tender feelings in your precious relationship.  Yet with so many diamonds to choose from; each with their own unique technical specifications, the experience can be overbearing.  The best advice I can offer is to learn as much as you can about your fiancée’s jewelry preferences.  By exploring her dreams, wishes and desires, you can narrow the field and begin to focus on what’s important for her…and you.

All women have some expectation and desire for certain types of jewels.

And most women will talk about the sizes and shapes of diamonds they prefer, but never price. With this in mind, spend some time to open up communication about diamonds and jewelry:

  • Talk with her about diamonds and other jewels; find out what she likes and dislikes
  • Comment on rings that her friends or neighbors wear, make it open conversation
  • Check with her friends or possibly even her mother to gain further insight into her favorites
  • When shopping together, don’t shy away from jewelry stores, explore them with her

These efforts will establish a solid rapport around the topic of jewelry and diamonds in particular. Soon you’ll grow comfortable discussing diamonds as well as gain knowledge of what’s available, but more importantly, you’ll know what’s right for her.

It’s a common rule of thumb to reserve 2 months salary as the amount to spend on your engagement ring.  Talk about it with her to further gauge her expectations and desires, it’s likely that she’ll be thinking not only about “the ring”, but also your relationship, both now and in the future.  You are embarking on a lifelong partnership, so she’ll be thinking of your current situation and the myriad of next steps your take together, house, family and lifestyle in general.  Look at your current and future earning potential and work together on what you both want.  If you decide on more than 2 months, then you can work this common goal into your plan.

I  consider diamonds in the 1.5 - 2.0 carat size to be “Ideal!” because they are a nice viewing size, meaning that the stone is large enough to easily see and admire.  The following table provides some diamond size guidance.

Your Score Size/price
Excellent $85K +
Great $45 - 75K
Ideal! 1.50 - 2.00 carats
Better 1.00 - 1.49 carats
Nice 0.50 - 0.99 carats
OK < 0.50 carats

Technical diamond specifications are important, but they should not overshadow; how she feels, her view of what’s important.  If you are not familiar with diamond specifications or if you want to freshen up your knowledge on the subject, take a look at the Wikipedia article on diamond gemological characteristics. Before you decide on buy, make sure the diamond has a GIA or AGS certificate which clearly details all of the diamonds specifications.

I think by now you get the point; time spent getting to know the expectations of your fiancée pays off; it helps you to grow even closer and avoids possible disappointment when you decide to pop the question!

One final note, get what she is expecting plus a little more.  This speaks to your true feelings more than anything ; )

The Yellow Diamond Engagement Ring

Tuesday, April 28th, 2009

(FashionGeek) - I felt so lucky to discover this marvelous engagement ring.

The Yellow Diamond engagement ring

The color coordination from the mounting and accent diamonds through the center stone is so nice and delicate.

Large center stones are inspiring and surely attract attention; they deserve mountings that offer smooth and flowing presentation to fit your discriminating persona.

The presentation offered by this ring is exceptional in that it shows the beauty of the center stone with graceful elegance. Close your eyes and imagine this striking natural wonder on your finger.

With the natural fancy yellow diamond weighing in at 10+ carats and a price of $265,000, this is truly the Grande Dame of engagement rings. To capture the true grandeur of this beauty I experienced a special trip to the vault and all VIP trimmings.

The Diamond Promotion Service rule-of-thumb uses 3 months’ salary as a guide for how much to spend on your special girl for her bridal engagement ring. How many months would it take you?

Selecting your Engagement Ring

Tuesday, April 28th, 2009

(FashionGeek) - Bridal engagement ring selection can be challenging; so much drive and desire to choose the ideal ring that conveys your true feelings, but the detailed technical specifications for diamonds make it difficult to maintain a romantic and loving frame of mind. It’s no wonder why diamonds get all the attention; their impressive characteristics and brilliance bring excitement and romance to your engagement.

istock_000004286727smallWomen’s engagement rings are more than just a diamond, they symbolize romance, beauty and the precious relationship couples have cultivated. Emphasize and showcase the diamond with a ring mounting that has individuality and character; choose a ring to compliment your fiancée and her unique style. Beautiful ring mountings furnish the frame and decoration for a beautiful diamond; both are key elements to good choreography for women’s engagement rings.

When evaluating ring mountings, don’t settle for simple 3 stone ring choices; seek styles that create a “visual flow” from the ring through the center stone. Some things to look for include: pave or micro-pave, channel setting, bezel setting and type of metal (18 karat or platinum). Exceptional ring mountings showcase the true grandeur of the center stone.

By design, ring mountings can accommodate certain diamond shapes and sizes.  Diamonds are available in many shapes, some diamond shapes include: round, princess, oval, emerald, cushion, and pear.  And for a diamond’s size, it’s common to talk about diamond carat weight, but carat weight does not convey the dimensions (length x width x depth).  Diamond dimensions can be estimated based on shape and carat weight, but to be sure, verify dimensions against the diamond’s certificate and then check the ring mounting prong spacing to make sure it will accomodate your stone.

The concierge offers help from selecting the ring mounting, diamond or both and is complimentary to registered visitors.
