So you have decided to buy an engagement ring and are just starting to learn about the world of jewelry and diamonds. The first choice you will have to make is whether to purchase a unique engagement rings or a synthetic diamond ring.
A synthetic diamond will always be of the highest grade as far as color and clarity (D/Flawless), but despite the considerable savings on a genuine diamond, there are considerable disadvantages. A synthetic, man-made diamond or cubic zirconia will look beautiful when purchased, but as it is made of a type of plastic or crystal, the material is soft and so will scratch and become dull within a very short period of time. If you are ok with changing the stone every few months then this is for you, especially if you do not have the budget for a genuine diamond ring and would like to purchase a large sparkling stone.
Diamonds are forever and therefore is the choice of most people when it comes to the engagement ring, which is to symbolize an eternal bond. High quality genuine natural diamonds, especially large ones, can cost a few thousand to tens of thousands of dollars. The most popular weight (which affects size) is a 1.00 carat diamond, which can range from as little as $900 for a low quality clarity enhanced diamond up to $10,000s for a D/Flawless genuine natural diamond.
Clarity enhanced diamonds are an excellent way to purchase a real, genuine diamond (not man-made) for a lower price, without compromising on beauty. Clarity enhanced diamonds have had imperfections hidden or removed, making a lower cost diamond, more beautiful.
A few tips:
1. Purchase genuine diamonds that are conflict free.
2. Ask for a lifetime guarantee on clarity enhanced diamonds.
3. Consult a credible expert with your budget an preferences to get a feel of what is available to you, so that your expectations are realistic.
