Your Diamond Engagement Ring: Make it Look Resplendent

Posted: Sep 28, 2008 | Views: 512 | Bookmark and Share

A diamond engagement ring laid with a large diamond can catch people's attention and make its wearer proud. However, large diamonds are costly. So you go for a ring studded with tiny diamonds. Do you know that it is possible to make these tiny diamonds look like a large diamond?

If you don't, read the following tips. You might then be able to show off a diamond engagement ring set with an impressive "large" diamond.

Before we get into these tips, let us first sound a warning against a common practice. Sometimes diamond buyers go for diamonds with a shallow cut. These are diamonds that have not been cut deep enough to give them brilliance. Diamonds get their brilliance from their light reflecting characteristic.

Light hitting shallow-cut diamonds go out their back, instead getting reflected back. The result would be a loss of brilliance, even though the diamond might look bigger. Saving cost by going for shallow-cut diamonds might thus not be the best decision.

So how do you make tiny diamonds look like a big diamond?

Select Fancy Shaped Diamonds

The typical choice involves round shaped diamonds. If you select instead diamonds shaped in elongated shapes like oval or pear, diamonds of the same weight will look larger. There is also the possibility to make your diamond engagement ring look more impressive by tasteful selection of the shape.

Go for a Pave Setting

A pe setting consists of several diamonds set closely together. Small beads of setting metal hold these diamonds in place and make them look like a single diamond – a single ‘large' diamond. The problem with the pave option is that the intricate metalwork involved can cost more than the difference in cost between a large diamond and several tiny diamonds. You might it less expensive to go for a large diamond.

Consider and Illusion Setting

An illusion setting creates an illusion of a larger and more brilliant diamond by first mounting the diamond on a mirror-like plate before setting it on the ring. Mirrors can create quite effective illusions, as you might have noticed in some shops which seem stocked with double the merchandise. Downside: Illusion set diamond rings are difficult and expensive to repair. And you don't want your diamond engagement ring in disrepair!

Ask for a Bezel Setting

A bezel setting covers the entire (or part of the) diamond and even the rim at its top, holding it securely. A bezel using white gold or platinum will blend with the diamond and can make it look larger. A gold bezel can, on the other hand, can throw a yellowish tint back onto the diamond, creating a strange effect.

One major plus point for bezel setting it that it can cover any chipping on the diamond. Bezel setting is also ideal for people who follow an active lifestyle, as it protects the diamond from damage.

An Engagement Ring with Side Diamonds

This is an option to add more pizzazz to your ring, rather than make the diamond look larger. Small diamonds are set on either side of a focal, larger diamond. The central stone won't look larger, but the whole arrangement could create a greater impression.

Explore the Options for Your Diamond Engagement Ring

Your engagement ring has great sentimental value. Do try to make it an impressive showpiece. After all, you have decided to go for a diamond engagement ring. Let the diamond come out really impressive.
