The tradition is for men is to spend a minimum of 2 months salary on your special ladies engagement ring. We are sure that this would shock both men and women. However these days it really comes down to what you can comfortably afford to spend without re mortgaging your house to get it. Many people like to make a big and bold statement with their engagement ring with going as big as their budget will allow, but when you do that the quality of the diamond may suffer to allow for the bigger size. So there starts to become a fine line between big and ok to fractionally smaller but very bright and full of fire. The Diamond Jewellery Studio like to educate their clients on the differences between each type of diamond there is available to help them understand what is good and what is not. This will allow the client to make an educated and well informed decision on what will suit the budget.
There are a few things to consider in deciding your engagement ring.
- Are you a girlie girl or a little rough with your hands, this will determine the appropriate height of the ring.
- Are you planning on wearing it all the time?
- Would you like something Uniquely Designed just for you?
- Do you like yellow gold, white gold or platinum?
- Maintenance of the ring. Like rhodium plating of white gold etc
- Insurance of the ring
The Diamond Jewellery Studio have offices in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne. Before you make the all important decision on your engagement ring make sure you have spoken with one of the offices for their expert advice, huge selection of diamonds at wholesale prices and unique diamond ring designs.
Getting down on one knee, holding out the tiny box, waiting to see the look on her face when you ask for her hand in marriage . . . These are all scenes you’ll want to remember after you propose marriage to your sweetheart. It’s not only a romantic occasion, it’s one that neither you nor she will ever forget. So along with the moment, you need a beautiful solitaire diamond ring to put in that tiny box for her to open.
A diamond solitaire ring is just one style of many that you can chose from for an engagement ring, but it tends to be a popular choice. Known for its stunning presence and breathtaking beauty, diamond solitaire rings are a classic. Featuring a single but remarkable diamond, a diamond solitaire ring is simple, sophisticated, and elegant – just want she wants.
Another trend in the diamond solitaire ring industry is purchasing platinum diamond solitaire rings as engagement rings. The platinum band is generally more expensive than a white gold band, and tends to be a bit more sturdy. But for engagement rings either platinum or white gold is acceptable.
So how do you know what kind of diamond solitaire ring to choose? Round solitaires are popular and classic. The princess cut diamond solitaires are square-shaped. They can be fragile if the setting does not protect the diamond’s corners. The emerald solitaire is also popular – it’s a rectangular shaped diamond. The marquise solitaire is a slender diamond with tapered ends, resembling the actual shape of a diamond. Another popular choice is the oval solitaire, more elongated than the round diamond.
With these options it might seem overwhelming when it comes time to decide which diamond solitaire to chose. But take your time. It’s a once in a lifetime moment, so make it count.
A 1 carat diamond ring is a beautiful jewellery item. Especially popular for engagements, 1 carat diamond rings are easily customisable to suit individual preferences.
The four elements to consider when purchasing a diamond are its cut (the diamond’s reflective properties), clarity (presence of blemishes or inclusions on the diamond), color (the presence or absence of color), and carat. The term carat refers to the weight of the diamond. Typical carat sizes range from ¼ carat to 2 carats. One carat equals about 200 milligrams. There is no carved-in-stone rule when it comes to determining what size of diamond to purchase, but the 1 carat diamond ring is a popular and timeless choice.
Keep in mind that a 1 carat diamond ring does not necessarily have to be from one stone. Total carat weight is used to describe a ring of multiple diamonds. This is a good option for some people, as the diamond configuration can resemble many intricate or even simple designs. However, some people do prefer the single solitary diamond.
Popular 1 carat engagement diamond ring styles for solitaire diamonds include:
• Traditional styles: round, oval or marquise diamonds, with a traditional tiffany setting.
• Unique styles: princess cut or heart-shaped with a flush mounted setting.
• Bridal Set Engagement Rings: a solitaire paired with a plain or diamond accented band.
Popular styles for 1 carat engagement diamond rings of multi-stone settings include:
• Bridal Set Engagement Rings: multiple stones accenting a smaller center stone.
• Three stone engagement ring: three similarly-sized diamonds instead of a single focal point.
• Accented rings: small accents to add to the beauty.
The Diamond Jewellery Studio are experts in assisting clients with this process, and are knowledgeable about the diamond industry. Discussing with them your ideal jewellery item will bring you one step closer to having it.
Diamond eternity rings are a breathtaking gift to give, and to receive. The ring of metal with no beginning nor end is how it got its name: eternity. This jewellery item is used for many special occasions, including as an anniversary gift or a gift to mark special occasions, such as the birth of a child. Others give an eternity diamond ring as a promise ring, promising someday soon to enter into marriage.
Eternity rings are available as ‘full’ eternity rings – meaning only that there is a ring of diamonds circling the entire band – or ‘half’ eternity rings, where the diamonds are only visible on the face of the ring. The full eternity ring can be slightly uncomfortable to wear, as the band is required to be thicker to accommodate the diamond settings. Full eternity rings are also more difficult to size, if at all. This is why many women prefer the half eternity ring. It is possible to get an eternity ring with another stone rather than a diamond – like sapphires, rubies, or emeralds – but the diamond eternity ring is most popular.
The band itself can be made from gold or white gold. White gold is slightly more durable and scratch resistant than yellow gold, but the choice here is strictly personal as either option is popular and attractive. So whether you decide upon a gold diamond eternity ring or a white gold diamond eternity ring, you will have a breathtaking piece of jewellery on your finger.
If you are considering giving a diamond eternity ring to your significant other – for a special occasion or just because – discuss your wishes with the diamond professionals at Diamond Jewellery Studio. They are available to help your dreams come true.
The internet is a marvellous place to find bargains but as with any online purchase it’s essential that you are an astute buyer when considering buying jewellery online. Costume jewellery is very safe to purchase online if you are buying through a reputable site with adequate security, as it is generally much cheaper than buying designer jewellery online and loose diamonds online.
For those purchases where a considerable investment is involved it is essential that you follow our key rules to buying jewellery online.
Buying Diamonds Online:
Buying diamonds online has become more and more popular as suppliers without retail chains have been able to join the online shopping trade and offer incredible prices on loose diamonds online- and smart consumers are saving thousands! Key considerations when buying diamonds online:
- Is the company you are dealing with reputable and well established?
- Are you buying internationally certified diamonds?
- What guarantees are offered with your purchase?
- Does the company offer contact details other than an email address? If so, call and speak to them to be sure they are reputable and reliable.
- Does the company disclose where they source their diamonds from?
- Will you receive the appropriate documentation and certificates to go with your diamonds?
- Is the website offering a range of diamonds (indicating they specialise in them) or are they just selling one or one type of diamond? (suggesting it may be a scam)
If you ask yourself these questions and have any doubt at all about the validity and quality of your diamond purchases, we recommend you choose an alternative dealer.
Buying designer jewellery online:
Buying designer jewellery online and especially custom made jewellery online poses a real disappointment risk if you don’t do your research properly. Before investing in designer jewellery online or choosing a jeweller to make your custom made jewellery online ensure you have asked the following questions:
- Has the jeweller made a piece such that you are asking them to make before- ask to see samples?
- Will you be able to make progress check ups along the way as your jewellery is designed and made?
- Are the jewellery designers you are working with master jewellers?
Put simply, in order to enjoy the savings to be had in buying jewellery online it’s essential that you do your research to ensure that you get what you pay for, deal with professionals and remain astute about internet security. Enjoy your shopping experience!
Coloured diamonds vary greatly from traditional white diamonds in many ways. Two major variations include the price of coloured diamonds (usually much higher than white diamonds due to their scarcity) and the way coloured diamonds are graded (depth of colour rather than clarity is of much greater concern). Many modern brides are choosing these unique stones to include in their engagement and wedding rings- many opting for stunning pink, green and blue diamond engagement rings as a statement of style and individuality.
What colours can I choose from?
Coloured diamonds come in a range of colours, however, the intensity of the colour will vary, affecting the price of each stone. Stones also vary with regard to the settings that show them off the best. Eg. Black diamond earrings are considered both rare and stunning, while pink champagne diamonds are used in rings and necklaces. Our coloured stones include:
- Blue
- Green
- Yellow
- Orange
- Pink Champagne
- Black and
- Mixed diamonds
Popular uses and settings for coloured diamonds
While many women usually associate white diamonds with rings and particularly engagement rings, coloured diamonds are used widely in many different styles and applications. Popular settings for our coloured diamonds include:
- blue diamond engagement rings
- pink champagne diamonds in dress rings and necklaces
- black diamond earrings
