Step By Step Guide for Choosing Diamond Jewelry for Women 

Women love diamonds. Of course, that’s if you choose the right one. With so many options to choose from, there is a possibility that you buy one that the lady doesn’t like. Going into a jewelry store without some knowledge of what you would like to purchase and how to choose the right one by reading blogs like Goldie’s jewelry blog can be overwhelming. Although everyone’s diamond jewelry search is a unique experience, the following tips can be your guide through the process.

Determine the preferences of the person you are purchasing the ring jewelry for: You will save yourself a lot of trouble if you can find out the desire of the recipient before you step into a jewelry shop. This can be in terms of diamond shape or even minimum carat weight that the person will prefer. If the woman has her set on a 1 carat stone, buying a half-carat diamond no matter how beautiful it is might leave her disappointed despite your efforts.

However, this isn’t always possible especially if you are planning to present the diamond jewelry as a surprise gift. In any case, finding out the recipient’s preferences will still save you a lot of trouble.

Find a helpful jewelry shop:

Find a jewelry shop around you to have a look around. Not only is it important to deal with an authentic jeweler, but you also want someone that will provide all the help you need in the search process. A good jeweler should be all the guide you need to get that special woman in your life the diamond jewelry of her dreams.

Find a diamond that fits your budget

Unless you are very rich and willing to splash a lot of money on a diamond ring, your budget will play a major role in determining the kind of diamond that you will get. If you are on a budget, you might have to make some concessions on some of the preferences of the recipient or even your personal desire as well. Here are some of the things you can do to find a piece of diamond jewelry that fits your budget:

  • Lower the clarity: the first diamond ring specification you can let go off easily is the clarity. You can down to a clarity level of VS2 before you start making concessions in other diamond qualities if the jewelry is still above your budget.
  • Color: Color is another area where you can make some concessions without affecting the quality of the ring too much. You can go as low as H with this before you start making concessions on other specs too.
  • Cut: if all else fails and you still can find diamond jewelry within your budget, you should consider lowering the cut. For round diamonds, you can go as low as a Very Good cut. You can go for a Good cut in diamonds with fancy shapes.

If after lowering these other qualities, you still can’t find a stone within your budget, you should consider dropping some carat weight. Target a weight difference of about 10% for this as the visual difference won’t be too noticeable.

If after following these steps, you are still unable to meet your target budget, you should reconsider all the qualities and go lower (especially the Karat weight) or try to adjust your budget.

Choose Gemstones to match

One way to accentuate the beauty of the diamond jewelry you purchase is to match it with the natural hues of a gemstone such as amethyst, rubies or emerald. There are really no limits to how you can combine diamonds and gemstones. A cluster of small diamonds and one gemstone would look good but so would a cluster of gemstones around a diamond. Your choice at the end of the day is only a matter of personal preference. Some women also like when a diamond is paired with their birthstone or favorite gemstone.

Other accessories

If the diamond jewelry you are buying is a necklace,you should consider the length of the chain as well as the material it is made with. Ensure that the other parts of the jewelry match the grace and beauty of the diamond stone that goes with it. Read this detailed guide for more on buying diamond jewelry.

Conclusion

By following these basic steps, the process of choosing the right diamond ring for your lover, mother or sister will be a lot easier. Hopefully, the beautiful gift you get for her will excite her and make her feel very special.
