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

Features and advantages of stone

If we talk about the diamond, then it is considered, most likely, the most valuable since ancient times. They wanted to possess not only the rich, various politicians, ordinary people, but also the monarchs. This stone has long been a symbol of luxury, power, and success. Therefore, it is not surprising that he attracts such attention of the powers that be.

One of the important features can be called the fact that it has a fairly powerful energy. For example, it is believed that it is better for women to not buy such jewelry on their own, otherwise the mineral will not be so active in demonstrating properties. It will be best if the girl receives a decoration as a gift. A donated diamond will give its owner more femininity and self-confidence.

Another important advantage of this stone will be that the products with it are not only beautiful, but also of high quality. The ring with it can be worn not only at celebrations, but also daily, because the diamond itself is very durable and it is almost impossible to scratch it. 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, cut and so on. All of them are evaluated according to four most important criteria, which are called 4C:

  • carats;
  • purity;
  • faceting;
  • color.

If we talk about carats, then jewelry diamonds are measured in this quantity. 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 value. But it should be understood that if you have 2 similar stones by weight, say, 2 carats, then they can have different values.

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

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

  • domestic;
  • external.

Almost all diamonds, whether with a mass of 3 carats or any other, have something like small foreign crystals, or interspersed with non-crystallized carbons. Most often they cannot be seen with the unprepared eye and only a specialist with the appropriate equipment can identify them.

When determining this parameter, everything is taken into account: color, quantity, size, orientation, and so on. And, of course, the smaller the number of such inclusions, the greater the value to get a stone having 5 carats, 7 carats, etc.

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

Varieties of diamond cutting

A little should be said about the cut. It is very important, as 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 reveal the potential of a diamond. This criterion for a diamond and its shape should not be confused. Indeed, 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 - a drop, a heart, a marquise, an oval, an emerald, a princess and others.

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

If we talk about emerald, then it has step faces. This allows you to give the stone unique properties of the optical type. Such a mineral will be very demanding on cleanliness 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 cuts of the type "Radiant" and emerald. The most important feature is the square shape of the mineral. She got her name from her inventors - the Belgian brothers Asher, who invented it at the beginning of the 20th century. For her, it is better to select the most pure stones, since even minor defects in this case will be visible well.

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

The Marquise cut model visually makes the mineral in question larger, 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 Pear is a combination of oval cut and Marquise. It is also sometimes called a drop because of its shape. Such minerals most often become the central elements of pendants and earrings.

The type of cut "Heart" is a drop-shaped option, but with a recess 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 price. The most expensive are considered white diamonds, which are colorless.

If there is a yellow tint, then stones can lose in price depending on the intensity, but if there is a strong red or blue color, then the price of such a mineral can even increase. To more accurately determine the color and value of diamonds 6 carats or any other, there is even a special scale.

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

But the color scheme of diamonds is much wider. Rings and earrings with a champagne-colored stone will look very interesting. Quite rare, and therefore more spectacular will be jewelry with a pink diamond. Such a decoration will definitely draw attention to its owner.

How to choose?

It is very important to be able to choose the right decoration with the stone in question. As already mentioned above, today artificial stones are becoming more and more like natural stones, which makes it difficult to choose. And dishonest sellers are trying to use this fact to pass off an artificial mineral as a real one. Yes, and you can just run into fake even in a more or less well-known store. Therefore, we will try to understand how to choose the right mineral.

Most often, fraudsters try to pass quartz, crystal, and even glass as a gem. But the density of all 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 pass ultraviolet light through a real stone, it will respond with a blue glow. True, the disadvantage of this method is that a number of stones gives a neutral glow. If possible, you can take an x-ray of the diamond. There will simply be nothing on the screen, as the rays will simply pass through it. But all other materials do not pass such rays.

Also, if a ray of light is passed through an authentic stone, then from the reverse side it will not be visible. 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 the stone - condensation never forms on diamonds.

Well, the simplest 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 high-quality goods, which will have the corresponding supporting documentation. Also, on stones or products with them there will be a brand of the manufacturer. Naturally, no one cancels the possibility of returning and exchanging in the store. And of course, the buyer would receive a cashier's check, which could be needed in case of problems.

It will not be superfluous to say that one should not look only for a transparent stone, because the frame, whatever it may be, it will give it a specific 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 combine perfectly with various metals. Another advantage will be that the stones under consideration are very durable, and therefore they are not afraid of contacts with any metals.

Most often, given the cost of those in question, gold rings can be found. Gold 750 is used for them.It looks expensive and will be an appropriate addition to a beautiful and expensive stone. Less often you can find a gold frame for a 585 ring, but this is a kind of budget option. Equally popular rings, where the frame is made of white gold.

Suddenly, such frames are not to your liking, then you can choose a frame made of platinum. The platinum ring will merge wonderfully with the diamond forming a beautiful ensemble that will amaze with its purity and effect.

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

With diamonds, you can find unusual options. For example, titanium frames are currently in demand on the market. In general, there is a considerable choice, 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. It looks best with sapphire. Jewelry with it can have a different design - from the simplest to the incredibly complex.

A ring with the considered stone and emerald may turn out to be very beautiful. Such a symbiosis will be especially successful in a platinum frame or in pink gold. There are many such rings, moreover, for representatives of both sexes.

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

A combination with amethysts will be quite popular. The purple color of this mineral is in good harmony with diamonds. Such rings will look easy and unobtrusive. The play of stones in the world will be amazing.

An interesting combination would be with ruby ​​or pomegranate. The red glow of the mentioned stones will give even greater effect to the diamond, which will perfectly give red. Such a combination would be good for brave girls.

But combinations with topaz and opal will be a great solution for calm girls.

Popular models

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

In addition, a thin diamond ring will be an excellent solution for the marriage proposal. If we talk about this category of rings, which are designed for various celebrations, it should be said that the wedding options with minerals look beautiful and will be an additional confirmation that the intentions of the two halves are pure. Diamonds are used in a ring called Save and Preserve.

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

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

There will be interesting solutions with cognac diamonds that play beautifully in color and shine in the sun. Quite popular among girls today will be models with diamond chips. It has become especially fashionable to scatter stones on jewelry in the form of a flower.

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

How to wear?

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

This jewelry is great if it is engagement. This will place particular emphasis on femininity and a sense of taste. This type of solution with diamonds will look great with various skirts and dresses, as well as various kinds of costumes. An 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. A wide ring with a large stone is best worn by older women.

If a girl decides to wear a cocktail dress or evening dress, she should not overload herself with rings and so on. It is best to wear a set of jewelry - earrings with diamonds and a ring. Or replace them with a necklace, if any. Two jewelry is enough to create a great look.

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

Care Rules

If you want the jewelry in question to have its original appearance for as long as possible, then you will have to look after them. But this must be done correctly. If possible, decorations should be removed when you arrive home. This rule applies to both rings, and earrings, and necklaces. No need to take a bath in the jewelry or go to the bath. High humidity does not benefit from such products.

It is best to store such jewelry in a special box to protect them from dust. You should be prepared for the fact that sooner or later there will be a need to clean jewelry. In this case, it is best to clean them with vodka or a not very strong alcohol solution. After wetting with such a 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 you try to clean such things with the help of strong abrasives, because they can scratch the frame and also spoil the appearance.

A number of people still think that a diamond is the most durable stone and will not get anything from exposure to 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 jewelry as carefully as possible so that they retain their color for as long as possible.

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 related to diamonds, as well as jewelry with them, continues to remain popular, despite the price that not everyone can pay.But from this the order of things has not changed for a long time - as then diamonds fascinated with their brilliance of the powers that be, so today they attract people with their amazing light and charm.
