Diamond Engagement Rings - Avoid These Myths


Sometimes we all are preoccupied by the common opinions and do the things accordingly without thinking much over it. This is true also when purchasing diamond engagement rings. Many beliefs are in circulation about the purchasing, style, size of diamonds and the ring which may bar you from making a good deal.

A common belief amongst the people is that diamonds are expensive. This is not true. The fact is that everyone can aspire to own a diamond as per his or her budget. The quality of the stone determines the prices. Expensive stones are those which are greater in size or carat weight and at the same time they are of great quality also, meaning that there are no inclusions in them. Diamonds are priced way lower if there are some inclusions in them. While these inclusions are not visible to the naked eye, the glitter and glamour of the diamond engagement rings remains the same as of high quality stones

Often, couples are told that they need to spend two months' salary to purchase diamonds. This also is not true, as you have to spend according to the cost of the diamond which may be less or more than your two months earnings.

Another belief is associated with the size of the diamond. It is said that a greater size of diamond engagement ring is more beautiful. The fact is that size of the stone does not matter. It is the settings, design, cuts and style that make the diamond and the ring appreciable. Even with a well cut smaller diamond, the ring will look equally great if overall designing of the ring is done with craftsmanship.

Similarly, some people think that there are not many verities available in diamond engagement rings. If they visit a jeweler's shop, they can easily find out that in these days, the rings are made of various diamonds, sizes, styles and settings like prong and bezel.

Yellow gold was once popular and was the only choice for diamond engagement ring for its metal. People still tend to carry that image. Today, besides yellow gold, you can opt for platinum as well. White gold is a perfect option for the metal band. In fact, white metal is a perfect backdrop for enhancing the glitter of the diamond on the ring.

A belief has been that there should be only one diamond on the ring. That no longer is the sole trend. Today's brides can have rings that are studded with many smaller diamonds to give a unique look to the ring.

And lastly, some people still have this notion that diamond engagement rings should be purchased only from jeweler's stores. They fear that only these high priced stores can provide quality rings. That is not true as well. A disadvantage with these stores is that they usually do not have varieties of the rings and only fewer varieties are available with them and that too at very high costs.

Today, online shopping has emerged up as an effective option to the high priced jewelry stores. Wide varieties of diamond engagement rings can be searched and compared online from the comfort of home and whichever price you want.

Clearly, it can be said that you should not go by the myths, and purchase diamond engagement rings with eyes wide open as varieties are plenty and prices are comparable.
