Facts Before Choosing An Emerald Engagement Ring

admin — Fri, 23 Jan 2009 17:34:06 +0000

Whenever we talk about an engagement ring a diamond ring comes into mind. Mostly women insist on their future groom-to-be to get them a diamond ring. Now as women have mastered in diamonds, their sizes and other facts, the new fashion of emerald engagement rings kicked in. Although the emerald engagement ring fact has the same as diamonds including 4 C’s which are clarity, carat, cut and color but there are more factors to choose a flawless emerald for your engagement ring.

Emerald engagement rings that I came across have both the green beauty of emerald with sparkly shine of diamonds. The entire band of this engagement ring is covered with diamonds with a beautiful cut emerald shinning like a star in between.

Engagements are a special event for both the bride and groom-to-be while family members are excited as the circle of their loved ones is increasing. The most excitement for the bride-to-be is the engagement ring which is mostly expected as a diamond ring. Now these cliché dreams are transforming into different dreams where now women insist on getting an emerald, ruby or other precious stone rings. You can start by changing the tradition and become the new trend setter by giving your future wife an emerald engagement ring. These rings come in gold or silver band while you can find emerald rings with diamonds stuck all around the band on equal intervals. Now if you have made up your mind to get an emerald engagement ring then here are some of the facts to look for before buying one.

Color: In general we know that emerald has a bright green color but these emeralds also come in blue-green color. The pure green colored emeralds are found in bulk while blue-green emeralds are rarely found which makes them more expensive. The more stable and consistent color an emerald have the better.

Cut: The standard cut chosen for emeralds is in rectangular step cut called the “Emerald cut.” Other shapes an emerald can be cut in are oval, heart-shaped, pear and round. Move to other emerald rings if any of them have a cabochon cut as mostly flawed stones have cuts in that shape.

Carat: An emerald is also measured in carats. Emeralds are usually found in 1 carat or less any bigger than that can cost you a fortune.

Clarity: In case of emerald’s clarity its color also plays an important role to increase the price of an emerald. If the clarity is perfect while the color is pure green it may not be as expensive as you might believe a diamond will be. Although an emerald with flawless clarity and perfect color are extremely rare.

Treatment: An extra thing to look for before purchasing an emerald engagement ring is to acquire about the treatment that particular emerald has gone through. Every emerald goes under a treatment to fill the gaps and cracks in the stone while some treatments also include adding colored oils to it which completely changes the color. The more treatment emerald has undergone the lower-quality it is going to have.

Synthetic Stone: Be sure to buy a non-synthetic emerald. A synthetic emerald means that it is produced in a lab through an artificial procedure. Some emeralds that are small in size go through synthetic procedure to make them bigger in size. If the dealer assures it is a non-synthetic emerald then have him write it down to save you from any bad luck in the future.

Six simple facts to keep in mind and you can get yourself the perfect type of emerald engagement ring for your future wife and that beautiful journey you are planning to embark upon.

Diamond And Emerald Rings, And There Different Meanings

admin — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 11:11:21 +0000

There are a lot of different rings out there that you can get for your loved ones, but if you are going to get one, it should be because the ring says something about that person. That is why today we are going to talk about he meanings of diamond and emerald rings. These are two lovely ring types, but both have two different meanings.

Picking out diamond and emerald rings for your loved one should be more than just about the color; it should be about what they symbolize. Knowing the difference can make you feel better about the gift you choose to get for your loved one.

So what is the difference between diamond and emerald rings? Well to answer that we are going to have to look at the two different kind of rings. We are going to cover what the different meanings are of the colors, and which one is perfect for what kind of person. Although diamond rings usually cost more than emerald rings, that does not mean that they are better. The meaning behind the ring is what is important. When looking at diamond and emerald rings you have to know which one means what, and which one is the perfect one to buy.

First we will look at the emerald ring. The emerald ring is a green color which, of course, is the color of nature as we all know. However, it’s also the color that is used to show fertility and life. So what is the main difference between diamond and emerald rings? Well emerald is a color that is used to help make a person feel restful, and it is also used to show that the person has self respect. The people that wear this kind of color are usually well balanced people having both a lot of growth in their daily life and a lot of harmony. One of the most important things that is different between diamond and emerald rings is the fact that emeralds are a safe color. They help to make people feel more protected. In the old days (as well as some video games today), green is also the color used to show a master healer. This helps give you some depth to this color and this stone.

Now on to the diamond. The diamond is a stone that comes from an old word meaning unbreakable. We all know that diamonds are very hard to break, and that is why a lot of drills are tipped with diamond, so they can go through just about anything. However, the difference between diamond and emerald rings are more of a romantic thing. Diamonds are much more romantic, because they are used to say that your love for that person is unbreakable, hence the meaning of that word. This is why the diamond has been chosen as being one of the best stones you can get for a loved one.

As you can see, there are some differences between diamond and emerald rings. Choosing the right one for you just has to deal with which one you feel best fits your lovers personality. You can never go wrong no matter which one of these gems you choose to wear. However, keep in mind that the diamonds usually do cost more. If you can never choose which one to get, you can always get one that is made with both. You can not go wrong with a ring that has both stones.

JR Dunn Jewelers: Loose Diamonds and Engagement Rings

admin — Sat, 13 Oct 2007 06:58:29 +0000

Loose diamonds, engagement rings and wedding bands will be new focus for growth at JRDunn.com in 2008. “Over the past few years the fashion jewelry and wristwatch sections of our web business grew so fast it was difficult for us to fully dedicate the time and resources to growing our online diamond and engagement ring business” says Sean Dunn, founder of JRDunn.com. “We have since made the necessary adjustments in our infrastructure and we are now ready to throw our hat in the ring.”

JRDunn.com will focus on GIA and AGS certified diamonds. The company differentiates itself from larger online diamond retailers
because JRDunn.com refuses to engage in the cost saving practice of drop shipping. “How can a diamond retailer guarantee the quality of the diamonds it sells if it never sees the diamond” says Dunn. He goes on to say “That’s putting your entire reputation in the hands of hundreds of suppliers who are not perfect 100% percent of the time. More than once our Graduate Gemologists have corrected mismatched diamonds and certificates sent in from our suppliers before it got to our customers. It’s important to find out if a diamond doesn’t match the certificate before the gentleman presents the engagement ring, not after.”

Diamond Jewelry Appraisals – Are they Worth It?

admin — Tue, 25 Sep 2007 11:12:02 +0000

When you buy diamond jewelry such as diamond rings, diamond pendants, necklaces, or tennis bracelets, you\’re not only buying a product, you\’re investing in an item with tremendous value for now and the future. You can protect your investment by getting a certified diamond appraisal. Here are some benefits of appraisals and how they work.

Secure Proper Insurance for Your Diamond Jewelry

Since diamond jewelry is considered to be a financial investment, it\’s wise to include it in your property insurance. Your insurance company will likely require a written description of the jewelry item. A diamond appraisal will define the specifics of your jewelry such as the weight in carats, cut size and shape, clarity, and appraised value. A photo of your diamond jewelry is included with your appraisal as well. Many appraisals today allow for three-year updates to update the value of your jewelry according to the current market since jewelry prices can rise and fall with the economy.

When applying for insurance, you\’ll know exactly what the value is and how much coverage to obtain if you have a certified appraisal. If your jewelry is damaged or stolen, you\’ll be able to replace it according to its actual value.

Selling Your Diamond Jewelry

In the event that you must sell your diamond jewelry, an appraisal will enable you to get top-dollar for your jewelry. You cannot accurately price your jewelry in this ever-changing market without a certified appraisal. What you paid for the diamond five years ago might be minimal compared to what it\’s worth now. On the other hand, the value might have gone down as well. You\’ll never know for sure unless you get an appraisal.

What Type of Appraisal?

It\’s best to get a certified appraisal from a Graduate Gemologist, particularly for diamonds, a person who has a Gemologist Institute of America (GIA) degree specializing in diamonds. This guarantees that your appraisal is accurate and will provide multiple benefits when obtaining insurance or reselling the diamond jewelry later.

Where to Get Appraisals

You can locate a nearby gemologist by asking your local jeweler or by checking in the phone book or online. Some jewelry stores have an in-house appraiser who appraises jewelry for the store and its customers. Ask about qualifications before paying an appraiser.

Special Appraisal Offerings

When searching for diamond jewelry, you\’ll find that some companies offer a free diamond jewelry appraisal with your purchase. This is a tremendous value-added service that can save you time and money. Once again, be sure the appraisal is performed by someone with a GIA degree.

You can usually find these types of offers online. Jewelry stores online offer a great selection and the convenience of shopping from your own home computer. You can shop for many jewelry items such as diamond rings, tennis bracelets, wedding rings, gold chains, circle pendants, diamond pendants, cluster rings, and more while never leaving your home!
