Pick the Diamond that's Right for You So you walk into a jewelry store and see dozens or even hundreds of diamonds - how do you choose the one that's right for you? The short answer is, don't jump the gun and purchase what they have in stock today instead of waiting for the perfect diamond that is right for you. Here are some of my thoughts on choosing a diamond. Compare diamonds side-by-side and choose the one that "feels" or "looks" best within your budget. The ONLY diamond certificate that you can trust is a GIA certificate. There are dozens of organizations that grade diamonds and produce grading certificates. Be warned that many of the grades on certificates other than a GIA certificate are inaccurate. You can end up paying too much for a diamond that is something other than what it says it is on the certificate. All but the rarest of diamonds have "flaws" called inclusions. The critical thing to know about inclusions is how they affect the look and durability of the diamond (yes, diamonds can break). When a diamond is graded at an SI clarity or above, the naked eye cannot see the inclusions - they require at least 10X magnification. If you are buying a gift or engagement ring, know what shape (round, cushion, marquee, oval, etc.) the recipient likes. If you can't, ask the recipient to pay attention to the jewelry they wear now or ask a close friend or family member. Do some online shopping with reputable jewelers to get an idea of what diamonds should cost, but keep a couple of essential things in mind - not all diamonds you find on the internet are what they appear to be. Many of them are not available. The look of a diamond is the result of how light reflects and exits from the top of the stone, so it is important to see the stone in person. Consider disregarding diamonds that are significantly cheaper than the average - just like anything else, something that looks too good to be true probably is. Have a budget in mind, and ask your jeweler to show you stones within your price range. There are almost an infinite number of characteristics that impact the price of a diamond. Start with shape and size and look at diamonds with various color, cut, and clarity grades to see how they compare. Often you will find that one diamond stands out --- and it will only sometimes be the most expensive one. Don't let a jeweler "guilt" you into spending a percentage of your income or measure how much you should spend on a diamond. Find the diamond that best fits your budget. Shop with a jeweler that values your needs. A jeweler interested in helping you buy the right diamond will be happy to bring additional diamonds into their store (usually within a day or two) if they need the perfect diamond in stock. Except for unusual sizes, shapes, or other characteristics, diamonds are not as rare as most in the jewelry business would have you believe. Work with a jeweler you can trust, which will be there after the sale. Buying a diamond, choosing a setting, and setting the stones should be enjoyable, not a pressure-filled, agonizing task. Find someone you enjoy working with and are interested in a long-term relationship, not just a one-time sale. We frequently redesign engagement or wedding rings for couples to completely change the ring's look or increase the size or quality of the center stone. The message is that everyone can avoid going into significant debt to purchase their engagement ring.

Mother nature is perfect. Like people, she made no two diamonds exactly alike – each has its own unique personality. One of the cornerstones of our business is helping people create rings and select diamonds that are more than just the right size, style, and budget – they're perfect for you... no one else., Like an ideal partner, the perfect diamond engagement ring will stand the test of time. That's why you should get to know your ring before you buy it by shopping with us and enjoying the experience. As a general rule, the higher quality a diamond is, the more beautiful — and the more expensive — it will be, but not always. The 4Cs describe diamond quality - Color, Cut, Clarity, and Carat weight, but you must see a diamond to know if it is right for you. A wise woman once said, "you wouldn't choose your wife based solely on her measurements, so why would you choose a diamond based on its measurements?" You need to see and experience the diamond to know for sure. You can get a beautiful diamond that fits your budget by making simple trade-offs in the 4Cs. Great advice for buying diamonds from one of our favorite people in the industry.

Did you know that your engagement ring, particularly its diamond, collects film from cosmetics, lotion, soap, and even skin oil? These harmful emissions will reduce the fire of your diamond. Have you ever wondered why that ring you wore only once has a scratch? Perhaps it was due to improper storage. Did you know that the prongs that secure your diamond in your ring will wear and get thin over time? The time it takes for prongs to become dangerously thin depends on how active you are, what kind of job you have, what type of metal the prongs are made from, and how you care for your engagement ring. Caring for your ring is a simple task. Here are a few tips on how to keep your engagement ring looking shiny and new... Wear We know you wear your ring often, perhaps never even taking it off. Unforeseen events may endanger the beauty of your jewelry, but you can take some easy steps to avoid common hazards. Avoid wearing fine jewelry when performing manual labor tasks, such as yard work or labor that would stress your jewelry. We recently replaced a beautiful engagement ring that was lost while racking leaves - the ring slipped off at some point during the job and was probably sucked into the city's leaf collector on collection day. We were able to recreate the ring, but there's always a special attachment to the ring that was first put on your finger. Household chores, like doing the dishes, are potentially harmful to your engagement ring in that film can accumulate and distort the color or reduce the shimmer of your diamond, gold, or platinum. Removing your engagement ring before participating in sporting activities is always a good idea. Try not to wear your platinum, gold, or diamond ring in swimming pools. Over some time, chlorine could damage the ring's makeup. Cleaning Regular cleaning of your engagement ring will keep it looking great. There are no exact time frames to follow when defining "regularly." Anywhere from 2-4 times a year, depending on wear, should be sufficient. Our customers are welcome to stop in at any time for a free cleaning and inspection. Each type of jewelry has specific guidelines to clean it most effectively: Diamonds: Either use a commercial jewelry cleaner (follow their directions) or mix one cup of hot water, one-quarter cup of household ammonia, and one tablespoon of dishwashing detergent. Don't use anything abrasive. Then, soak the diamonds for about twenty minutes. Scrub firmly but slowly with a soft-bristle toothbrush. Rinse the diamonds in hot water and then dip them in rubbing alcohol and let air dry or towel off with a lint-free cloth. Don't rinse off the alcohol. To ensure the least amount of prints and oily residue, pick up the ring around its edges and avoid putting your fingertips directly on the diamond. Gold: There are many good commercial gold jewelry cleaners available. We carry one at the store, but a soft chamois cloth is a great way to keep your gold lustrous and clean. To thoroughly clean your gold jewelry, soak your ring for ten to fifteen minutes in a solution of one cup of warm water mixed with one-quarter cup of ammonia. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush to gently wipe away tarnish, dirt or film. Then, rinse with warm water, dry with a lint-free towel, or simply air-dry. To remove grease or other superficial infirmities, dip the jewelry into rubbing alcohol. Platinum: Even though platinum is very durable and mostly scratch-resistant, proper cleaning is necessary to ensure its luster and strength. Platinum can be cleaned with the same solution used to clean gold. There are also effective commercial platinum cleaners. All of your gold, platinum and diamond jewelry will benefit with annual or bi-annual professional cleaning. Storage To best protect your jewelry when it is not worn, separate it from other jewelry. (Use different compartments within your jewelry box.) Ideally, wrap each piece in velvet, paper, or silk - small plastic bags can also help protect each piece of jewelry. Be aware that jewelry can scratch other jewelry. A diamond can easily scratch a gold ring, platinum ring, or almost any gemstone. For silver jewelry, consider storing it in a tarnish-resistant plastic bag. This will not only protect the jewelry against scratches but will also keep it looking its best. Annual Inspection We recommend an annual checkup for your ring. Bring your wedding, engagement, and/or anniversary bands to us, and we'll be happy to inspect them and let you know if any potential issues need attention. We'll check the prongs to ensure that your stones are secure, inspect the ring for scratches, and recommend solutions to any immediate or potential problems.
