Diamond Engagment Rings

Getting engaged can never be under estimated as one of life’s most important moments. It signifies the beginning of the next chapter of your life, a strong personal commitment to the one you love.

It shows the world that you intend to spend the rest of your days with a partner that you truly love. Traditionally, popping ‘the’ question is accompanied by the giving of an engagement ring. This tradition is believed to date back as far in history as the Ancient Egyptians. Evidence of Egyptian men presenting their brides to be with handmade rings made from reeds, sedges, papyrus and other natural elements such as leather, bone or ivory have been discovered.

The first recorded giving of an engagement ring was by Archduke Maximillian of Austria to his fiancé Mary of Burgundy in 1477. However, it was not until the 1870's when diamonds were discovered in South Africa that diamond engagement rings became more widely available through the jewelry industry.

THE 4CS

For many couples choosing an engagement ring can be a minefield. However , if you understand the guidelines of the ‘4 Cs’ which is a universally accepted method for assessing the quality of a diamond, finding the perfect diamond engagement ring will become a lot easier:

 

Cut

This creates the sparkle and brilliance that diamonds are known for by influencing the stones interaction with light. The quality of the cut of a diamond is vitally important as incorrect cutting can compromise a diamonds’ sparkle.

Diamond Cut

Carat

This measures the weight of a diamond, not the size. One carat is equal to 0.2gm or 200mgm and is divided into 100 smaller units called points i.e. three-quarters of a carat is 75 points. A diamond with a large carat weight will be most valuable due to its rarity.

Diamond Carat

Clarity

This measures the number of imperfections, called ‘inclusions',in a diamond. Inclusions can affect the diamond's fire, but they are what makes each diamond unique and therefore cannot really be regarded as a fault.

Diamond Clarity

Color

All diamonds are graded by their color. The most valuable (and rarest) color being white/ colorless. This is the most popular color of diamond used for engagement rings.
