Know what size
ring you need before you shop so you can buy perfectly-fitting jewelry
every time. To determine ring size, you can place a ring that fits you on a
professional
ring sizer mandrel, use a professional
ring sizer, or find an approximate fit with a ring size chart or finger
size strip. Make sure to measure your finger at room temperature. Heat and
cold can cause your fingers to swell or constrict.
Use a ring that fits you to determine your
ring size. Place your ring over the nearest size circle. The inner edge of
the ring should align with the outer edge of the circle. If your ring
appears to fit between two sizes, buy the larger size.
NOTE:Please always make sure the milimiters do
correspond to your ring's inner dimmensions. Some variations may occur
depending on your screen computer
To create your own ring sizer, print and cut
the strip below. Insert the narrow end of the sizer through the "cut here"
slot. With numbers on the outside, place the loop around your finger, and
pull until the fit is snug but comfortable.
Buying a diamond is the ultimate
memorable experience; a little education will make it all the more
enjoyable. The universally accepted criteria used in diamond
evaluation are known as the 4C's:
Carat weight Cut Color Clarity
Carat Weight
Carat is the measure of weight
of a diamond. It does not measure size; nor should it be confused with
"karat," a measure of gold purity.
1 Carat = 0.2 grams or 0.007 ounce. The weight of
the diamond and the price per carat determines the price of a diamond.
Total Price = Weight x Price per Carat
All other things being equal, the greater the carat weight, the rarer
the diamond and the more expensive it is.
Although many people equate "bigger"
with "better," diamonds of all carat weight have the potential to be
lively, exciting, and beautiful. The most important thing is to buy
the one that's right for you.
To choose the ideal carat weight, consider the following:
The recipient's personal style,
finger size, and the size and style of the setting
Keep in mind that the smaller
the finger, the larger the diamond will appear. A 1½-carat diamond
solitaire looks much larger on a size 4 finger than a size 8.
If you have already chosen a
setting, make sure you choose a diamond that looks appropriate in
the ring.
Cut
Many gemologists consider cutting
quality to be the most important diamond characteristic because even
if a diamond has perfect color and clarity, a diamond with a poor cut
will have reduced brilliance. Cut is not shape, ie, pear, round, oval.
Cut refers to the quality of the proportioning, polish, and symmetry.
Generally speaking, there is some agreement on
how round brilliant-cut diamonds should be cut to optimize brilliance
and dispersion. However, there is no universal standard as to what
constitutes the "ultimate" or "perfect" proportions for a round
brilliant.
The cut of a diamond--its roundness, its depth and width, and the
uniformity of the facets--all determine a diamond's ability to exhibit
brilliance. The width and depth have the greatest effect on how light
travels within the diamond, and how it exits in the form of brilliance.
How does cut affect fancy shaped
diamonds?
What about fancy cut diamonds like marquise, pear, oval, heart,
emerald, princess, radiant, and others? How can a consumer know a
fancy-cut diamond is well cut?
Due to the symmetry of round brilliant-cut diamonds, it is much easier
to formulate proportion criteria and strike an optimum balance between
brilliance and dispersion. Although EGL USA supplies extensive
proportion information on its diamond certificates for fancy-cut
diamonds, there is currently no universal set of standards
constituting ideal proportions for these shapes. With that said, here
are some general guidelines:
The degree of brilliance in a
fancy shape can be one way to tell whether it is cut within
acceptable proportions or not. A fancy-cut diamond should be
exciting to look at and should dance in the light --
it shouldn't suffer from too much "light leakage" through the
pavilion.
A phenomenon called the "bowtie"
effect - an obvious diminished area of brilliance appearing like a
bowtie - occurs in certain fancy-shape diamonds when the
proportions are off. Well-cut fancy shape diamonds show only a
minimal bowtie effect. This is something your eye will be able to
decide.
The symmetry of fancy cut
diamonds is an important consideration. Take a look at how well
the two halves of a fancy shape diamond look when seen from the
profile view and the top view. The two halves should display very
little differences, and ideally be mirror images of one another.
Diamonds with mismatched halves may have been cut that way to save
weight.
Diamonds with points at their
ends, such as marquises, pears, and hearts, should be thick enough
at the points to stand up to normal wear and tear. If these
diamonds are cut too shallow, a point may be vulnerable to
chipping under certain circumstances.
Color
Color is personal: some people like a
diamond with an ice-cold whiteness (colorless or near-colorless),
while others prefer the golden glow of a warmer color. Diamonds with
no color like D, E, F, are very rare and are more expensive than near-colorless
(G, H, I, J) diamonds. Diamonds with a faint tinge of color (K, L, M,
N, O) have a slightly warm color and are more affordable. For those
who want a larger diamond within a certain budget, selecting diamonds
with alower color grade may be the best option.
Fancy colors include brilliant yellows, steely blues, soft pinks,
fiery oranges and more; there's even fancy white and black. If the
color is natural, as opposed to treated, the prices of these fancies
can be extremely high.
Clarity
Clarity refers to how free a diamond is
from nature's "birthmarks," or tiny, generally microscopic
imperfections that make each diamond unique.
Diamonds are assigned clarity grades based on what can be detected
with ten-power magnification. Most internal features (inclusions) and
external features (blemishes) in the diamond have little or no effect
on brilliance and fire.
So if small clarity characteristics don't affect a diamond's beauty,
why are diamonds with higher clarity grade so expensive? It's simply
because diamonds with relatively few clarity characteristics are very
rare. Fortunately, diamonds of all clarity grades and prices,
including those with eye-visible inclusions, can look beautiful
depending on how well they're cut and other factors. The best advice
is to look at several diamonds of different clarity grades and let
your eye be the guide!
