Understand The 4Cs – Cut, Color, Clarity and Carat

When it comes to diamonds, knowing these four C’s – cut,color, clarity and carat weight are very crucial in determining its quality as well as price.

Cut: The cut of a diamond determines its brilliance. A well-cut diamond reflects light beautifully making it sparkle.

Colour: Diamonds range from colourless to having a slight yellow tint. Colourless diamonds are more valuable than those with colour.

Clarity: Imperfections present within the diamond refer to clarity. Fewer inclusions mean a clearer, brighter diamond.

Carat: This refers to the size/weight of a diamond. Although larger diamonds are usually more expensive, they can be affected by their cut and clarity too.

Knowing these facts will assist you when making an informed choice about which diamond is best suited for you. We have many different grades of 4C’s at TJ WholeSale; hence, we will ensure you find the right stone for your budget.

Choose the Right Ring Setting

The setting of a diamond engagement ring is as important as the diamond itself. It can enhance or mar the beauty of the stone; and it also can reflect one’s personal style. Some popular choices are listed below:

• Prong Setting – This classic design holds the diamond in place using four or six prongs which allow maximum light to pass through the diamond.
• Bezel Setting – The diamond is surrounded by a metal rim creating a modern and secure option.

• Halo Setting – A centre stone ringed by small diamonds adds sparkle while making it appear larger.
• Pavé Setting – Many small diamonds are set close together along the band to give a continuous sparkle effect.

Each of these settings has its own unique allure so you should consider what appeals to you most. At TJ WholeSale, there are different ring settings that match any type of your preferred diamond.

Consider Your Lifestyle

Your wedding ring will be worn on your finger every day thus it is important that you choose something that suits your lifestyle perfectly. If you lead an active life or use your hands a lot, then perhaps you’d prefer a low-profile ring or one with a sturdier setting. On another hand, if you enjoy elegance and fashion statement; such rings come in more detailed designs for example this one might be suitable for you instead:

Consider how you will wear it every day and choose a design that strikes a balance between aesthetics and practicality.

Make Your Ring Personal

This makes your engagement ring even more special. Think about adding an engraving on the inside of the band, such as your wedding date, initials, or anything that is meaningful to you. You might also want a gemstone for sentimental reasons like birthstones or culturally significant gemstones.

At TJ WholeSale, we give you the opportunity to customise your rings.

Choose the Metal for the Band

Another thing that should be considered is ring band metal. These include:

• Gold: Evergreen choice with yellow gold, white gold and rose gold variations.
