Jewelry today is more popular than ever. Especially when it comes to diamonds. No wonder they say that girls' best friends are diamonds. And today we will just talk about such a jewel as a diamond ring.

Stone features and benefits

If we talk about a diamond, then it is considered to be most likely the most valuable since antiquity. They wanted to have not only the rich, various politicians, ordinary people, but also monarchs. Long since this stone is a symbol of luxury, power, and also success. Therefore, it is not surprising that it attracts such attention of the powerful.

One of the important features is the fact that it has a rather powerful energy. For example, it is believed that the fair sex is better not to buy such jewelry on their own, otherwise the mineral will not actively demonstrate properties. It would be best if the girl gets the jewelry as a gift. The presented diamond will give its owner more femininity and self-confidence.

Another important advantage of this stone is that the products with it are not only beautiful, but also high-quality. The ring with it can be worn not only at celebrations, but also daily, because the diamond itself is very durable and scratch it is almost unreal. This mineral is also quite versatile, because it will look great with almost any outfit.

What are the criteria for evaluating a diamond?

It is logical that these minerals can be different in size, purity, faceting and so on. All of them are evaluated on the four most important criteria, which are called 4C:

  • carats;
  • purity;
  • cut;
  • Colour.

If we talk about carats, then jewelry diamonds are measured in this value. 1 carat is about 0.2 grams. Accordingly, a 0.5 carat diamond will weigh about 1 gram. The scale of this value consists of numbers from 1 to 100. The mass of stones plays a fundamental role in identifying the value. But it should be understood that if you have 2 similar stones by weight, say 2 carats, then they may have different values.

Estimate the price of the quality of these stones. High-quality specimens can be found in various sizes. The larger the stone, the greater its value. You can estimate the stone mass by size.

Another important criterion is cleanliness. This indicator indicates the presence of some features of the stone. These are two categories of defects:

  • internal;
  • external.

Virtually all diamonds, whether with a mass of 3 carats or any other, have something like small foreign crystals, or inclusions of non-crystallized carbons. Most often, they cannot be seen with an unprepared eye and can only be identified by a specialist with appropriate equipment.

During the determination of this parameter, everything is taken into account: color, quantity, size, orientation, and so on. And, naturally, the smaller the number of such inclusions, the more valuable to get a stone that has 5 carats, 7 carats, etc.

And in some cases blotches and various stains will even be a good sign. Their presence allows to determine its authenticity and origin, because the differences between synthetic and natural minerals are becoming less noticeable.

Diamond Cut Types

Little should be said about cutting.It is very important because it determines the shape of the stone. For example, round minerals are the most popular, because it is this form that allows you to fully unlock the potential of a diamond. This criterion of a diamond should not be confused with its shape. After all, the quality of the play of light depends on the cut.

This is the only moment completely dependent on the master. All others are determined by natural conditions. There are other types - drop, heart, marquise, oval, emerald, princess and others.

If we talk about a drop, then in this case, the diamond will have the appropriate shape. The "Princess" form is the most popular after the round. Usually it is a variant with a square stone that has sharp corners. But it also happens that stones can be made not by squares, but by rectangles.

If we talk about emerald green, then it has stepped edges. This allows the stone to give the unique properties of the optical type. Such a mineral will be very demanding of purity and, if there are any defects in it, they will be very clearly visible. This type can only be made as a rectangle. If you need something with a square stone, you can look at the Asher cut, which is also sometimes called Baguette.

This type is a symbiosis of cut like "Radiant" and emerald. The most important feature is the shape of the mineral in the form of a square. It received its name from its inventors - the Belgian brothers Asher, who invented it at the beginning of the 20th century. It is better for her to pick the most clean stones, as even minor defects in this case will be visible well.

The variant called "Radiant" is a symbiosis of "Princess" and emerald cut. Its main difference from others is the bevelled corners of the stone. It is very easy to fix in any decoration.

Model cut "Marquis" visually makes the mineral in question more, since in this case it will have an oblong shape. It will look good with other drop-shaped stones. The first stones began to receive such a cut in the time of Louis XIV.

The cut called the Pear is a combination of an oval cut and a Marquis. Also sometimes called a drop because of the shape. Such minerals often become central elements of pendants and earrings.

The cut type "Heart" is a drop-shaped variant, but with a notch located in the middle.

Colors of stones

If we talk about color, then this is probably the most obvious indicator of naturalness. And it has a significant impact on the price. The most expensive are white diamonds, which are colorless.

If there is a yellow tint, the stones may lose in price depending on the intensity, but if there is a strong red or blue color, then the price of such a mineral may even increase. For a more accurate determination of the color and cost of 6 carat diamonds or any other there is even a special scale.

There are minerals and gray shades. True, their value cannot be compared with black diamonds. You can find jewelry with colored diamonds. For example, today no one is surprised by decorations with a yellow diamond. Such jewelry can be a good complement to any image.

But the color range of diamonds is much wider. Rings and earrings with a champagne-colored stone will look very interesting. Pretty rare, and therefore more spectacular will be jewelry with a pink diamond. Such an ornament will surely attract attention to its owner.

How to choose?

It is very important to be able to choose the right jewelry with the stone in question. As already stated above, today artificial stones are becoming more and more like natural stones, which makes it difficult to choose. And dishonest sellers are trying to take advantage of this fact to give the artificial mineral for the present. Yes, and just run into a fake, even in a more or less well-known store can be.Therefore, we will try to understand how to choose such a mineral correctly.

Most often, fraudsters are trying to pass a quartz, crystal and even glass as a gem. But the density of all the stones is different, and you can determine the fake, if you correlate the size of the diamond and its mass. In any store you can find correspondence tables.

In addition, if you let ultraviolet light through a real stone, it will respond with a blue glow. However, the disadvantage of this method is that a row of stones gives a neutral glow. If you can, you can take an x-ray of a diamond. There will be nothing on the screen, as the rays will simply pass through it. But all other materials such rays do not miss.

Also, if a ray of light is passed through an authentic stone, then it will not be visible from the back side. If the diamond is real, then you can try to rub it with sandpaper - no harm will be done to it. In addition, you can breathe on a stone - condensate never forms on diamonds.

Well, the easiest option, how to check the stone will be a combination of a large supposedly "diamond" and a cheap frame.

Naturally, well-known jewelry stores and shops will offer the buyer a high-quality product that will have the relevant accompanying documentation. Also, on the stones or products with them will be the stamp of the manufacturer. Naturally, the possibility of return and exchange, no one cancels in the store. And of course, the buyer would receive a cash voucher, which could be needed if problems arise.

It would not be superfluous to say that you should not look only for a transparent stone, because the rim, whatever it is, it will give it a certain specific color. It will not be superfluous to pay attention to how the diamond is fixed in the jewelry.

Ring Materials

Rings with similar minerals may be different. Given their versatility, they are perfectly combined with various metals. Another advantage is that the stones we are considering are very durable, and therefore are not afraid of contact with any metals.

Most often, given the cost considered, you can find rings of gold. Gold 750 is used for them. It looks expensive and will be an appropriate addition to the beautiful and expensive stone. Less often you can find a gold frame for the 585 ring, but this is a kind of budget option. No less popular rings, where the frame is made of white gold.

Suddenly you do not like these frames, you can choose a frame of platinum. The platinum ring will wonderfully merge with the diamond forming a beautiful ensemble that will amaze with its purity and showiness.

If you want something else, you can choose a silver ring. Silver has long been known for its beneficial properties, and with proper care it will look like new for a long time.

With diamonds, you can find unusual options. For example, titanium frames are in demand on the market. In general, the choice is considerable, so that everyone can find what he needs.

Combinations with other stones

Although the mineral in question will be quite spectacular and self-sufficient, often the rings are also decorated with other minerals. Best of all it looks with sapphire. Decorations with it can have a different design - from the simplest to the incredibly complex.

The ring with the stone and emerald in question can be very beautiful. Such a symbiosis will be especially successful in platinum-framed or pink gold. There are quite a few such rings, moreover, for representatives of both sexes.

Jewelry with pearls of various colors looks no less impressive. Such a duet of minerals will be a godsend for almost all styles of clothing. This combination will add to the girl femininity and beauty.

A combination with amethysts will be quite popular. The purple color of this mineral harmonizes well with diamonds.Such rings will look easy and unobtrusive. Playing stones in the light will be amazing.

An interesting combination with ruby ​​or pomegranate. The red glow of the stones mentioned will add even more glamor to the diamond, which will give away great red. This combination will be good for brave girls.

But the combination with topaz and opal will be a great solution for cool girls.

Popular models

If we talk about the popular models of these rings, then today there really is something to choose from. Very popular are the models with diamonds in a circle or those where there is a path with diamonds. They are expensive, but at the same time - it can be called the apogee of the jewelry art. They are original and look very impressive on the finger.

In addition, a thin diamond ring would be a great solution for a marriage proposal. If we talk about this category of rings, which are intended for various celebrations, then it should be said that the wedding options with minerals look beautiful and will be more than confirmation that the intentions of the two halves are clean. Diamonds are used in the ring called Save and Save.

If you need a classic, then you can buy an infinity ring or, for example, a variant with three diamonds.

A classic ring can be scattered. For example, we are talking about such models as the Malinka ring or the Tulip ring, where there are several small stones, and in the center is set the largest in size. There are also models of this type with a huge diamond.

Interesting will be solutions with cognac diamonds, which are beautifully played with color and shine in the sun. Pretty popular today among the girls will be the models with diamond chips. Especially it has become fashionable to make a scattering of stones on decorations in the form of a flower.

Another popular category of rings today is the so-called floating rings or, as it is called with the dancing diamond.

How to wear?

Decoration of this type is an excellent solution for celebrations, regardless of whether it is a birthday, wedding or graduation. Any such jewelry on your hand will be a great solution to complement your everyday look.

Such a decoration is great if it is an engagement. This will place a special emphasis on femininity and a sense of taste. This type of solution with diamonds will look great with different skirts and dresses, as well as all sorts of costumes. Ideal female ring with one diamond is suitable for girls who occupy leadership positions. It is important to know that the younger the owner of the ring, the more modest jewelry she should wear. It is better to wear a wide ring with a big stone for older women.

If the girl decided to wear a cocktail dress or evening dress, do not overload yourself with rings, and so on. It is best to wear a set of jewelry - diamond earrings and a ring. Or replace them with a necklace, if any. Two decorations are enough to create a great image.

You should know that the most beautiful jewelry looks best in a classic style. Therefore, when choosing diamonds, you should avoid all sorts of brilliant things and rhinestones. Classic outfits from expensive fabrics will be the best solution in this case. Do not wear 2 or more rings on your finger. Even if each of them is with a small stone and even if one is an engagement one.

Care rules

If you want the jewelry in question to have the original look as long as possible, you will have to look after them. But it must be done correctly. If possible, decorations should be removed when you come home. This rule applies to both rings and earrings, and necklace. No need to take a bath in the decorations or visit the bath. High humidity does not benefit such products.

It is best to store such jewelry in a special box to protect them from dust. It should be prepared that sooner or later there will be a need to clean the jewelry. In this case, it is best to clean them with vodka or a not very strong alcohol solution. After wetting with this solution, it is necessary to remove dirt with a cotton swab.

You can wash the product with soap and water and use a soft sponge. But in no case should not try to clean these things with strong abrasives, because they can scratch the frame, as well as spoil the appearance.

A number of people still think that a diamond is the strongest stone and nothing will come from the impact of water or fire. But it is not so. Such a statement may be true for a diamond, but not a diamond. The fact is that a diamond turns into it when the so-called shirt is removed from it. But it should be understood that this is the main protective layer and the diamond, in fact, becomes defenseless against external factors. So we advise you to handle such jewelery as carefully as possible so that they retain their color as long as possible.

If we talk about the products of popular brands in this segment, then we should mention first of all such well-known companies whose name has already become a household name - Tiffany, Cartier, Pandora, Bulgari, Waltera, and Chopard.

Today it is a very popular service, and so things also serve as an indicator of status and will always be in demand.

In general, as you can see, everything connected with diamonds, as well as jewelry with them, continues to remain popular, despite the price that not everyone can pay. But this does not change the order of things for a long time - as the diamonds fascinated with their brilliance the powerful of the world, so today they attract people with their amazing light and charm.
