But enough on that. This article is about choosing the perfect piece of diamond jewellery for your wife or girlfriend. There are a few pieces like marquise cut diamond earrings or pear shape diamond pendant that will be loved by most women.If you have been thinking “what to gift my wife in anniversary?” then read on to find out the tips for choosing the right diamond jewellery, specifically a ring, but you can also use it as a guide to buying general diamond jewellery.

1- The first step in getting a piece of diamond jewellery is to decide on the diamonds to be used. The diamond can be round, pear-shaped, emerald or princess cut.

2- After the shape, you need to see the carat that you want along with the cut and polish of the stone. The prices vary depending on what you choose.

3- Then comes the clarity of the diamond you want. Check with the jewellers and sample a few pieces before you choose one if you aren’t aware of the clarity factor.

4- The other thing that one needs to think about, especially if you believe in astrology is, can buying diamond have negative implication. Diamonds are often used in engagement and wedding rings as they symbolise affection. However, as per astrology, a diamond may not suit everyone. It is said that Scorpio, Aries and Pisces zodiac signs shouldn’t wear diamonds. If you are buying one, then you must think – will a diamond suit my sunsign? Libras and Virgos can wear diamonds, provided certain other conditions are met. These conditions are to do with the position of Venus in a natal chart. It is said that diamonds, if worn under certain auspices can bring in luck and success but if worn incorrectly can cause misfortune.

5- Another one for those who follow astrology is that certain zodiac signs have their own gemstone.The lucky gem for Leos is a ruby while for a Virgo, it is emerald.Capricorn and Aquarius can wear diamonds with blue sapphire and hence a sapphire engagement ring would be a good choice.

6- The next thing you need to figure out is the setting and the metal to be used. There are different types of settings available like halo, side stone, pave, three stone, channel and tension. Each of these types are patterns of a ring and when the stone is set, will add to the beauty of the piece.

7- After the setting, you also need to choose the base metal. You can take your pick from gold, platinum, rose gold or white gold. You can choose this on the basis of what your partner likes most. For example, my mother prefers pure gold, as it has a good resale value and Indians love their gold.

8- You can also check if the jeweller handles diamond certification a sit will mean less work for you. Choose a jeweller that offers variety and guides you through pure and impure diamond comparison along with what each characteristic of a diamond would mean.

9- Next, consider your budget, tends and statements that you want for your price and then decide on it.

10- You can have other tips for choosing the right diamond jewellery like looking for a good jeweller and sitting with them to get the best diamonds etc.

Top 10 Jewellery Designs Preferred by Celebrities in London

<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>WHY BUY YOUR WEDDING RINGS IN HATTON GARDEN?</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">One of the biggest selling points of buying from Hatton Garden is that they have some of the most accomplished jewellers and goldsmiths throughout the entire UK. In fact, most people would even describe it as one of the most prominent jewellery hubs in the country. The jewellery industry is as alive as it has ever been and this is largely thanks to the craft that has come out of Hatton Garden and the excellent people that have been working for the companies here for many years. Here at <a href="https://flawlessfinejewelry.com/">FLAWLESS FINE JEWELLERY</a> we been using some of the age-old traditions and techniques, alongside the newer methods to create some of the most exquisite engagement rings, wedding rings and jewellery that the UK has ever seen.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Being within the jewellery hub of Hatton Garden allows Flawless Fine Jewellery to keep their costs as low as possible. The big-name jewellery brands take up most of the main shopping districts of London and the rest of the UK but being within Hatton Garden helps us to keep their pricing competitive with these companies. As well as this, rather than receiving some of them off the shelf products that you would in other retailers, we can create tailor-made wedding rings especially for you, so that you are getting exactly what you want. Each of our wedding rings is made to order, so that you can be sure you are getting the wedding rings that you desire, making them personal to your relationship.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>WHAT IS THE RECOMMENDED METAL CHOICE FOR MY WEDDING RING?</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">We can offer you wedding rings in a range of different metals, each of them providing the perfect finish depending on your style. The wedding rings that we can offer you come in platinum, 18k rose gold, 18k white gold and 18k yellow gold. We make sure that each of our rings is durable as well as stunning, and that is why we use these alloys as they have the best chance of your wedding ring lasting a lifetime and maintaining that striking shine.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">An important thing to consider when choosing your wedding ring metal is that you should try to match is to the metal type that your engagement ring is made out of. The reason being is that if you have one metal that is more durable than the other, it could end up wearing away the other ring and then you are left with one ring that looks stunning, and one that has been ruined by your other band. Of course, this is only going to be an issue if you intend to wear your bridal set together, although some people choose not to do this.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">18K white gold wedding rings are similar in appearance to platinum once it has been plated in rhodium., Without this, the tone is slightly more of a butter yellow rather than the beautiful gold finish. However, the problem here is that it is going to need re-plating through its lifetime to give that beautiful finish.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Platinum wedding rings are bright and silver looking. This is a timeless look that everyone loves and works well if you are looking for a contemporary wedding ring. Platinum is the most durable and hardest option for wedding rings, so if you are looking for practicality, then this is going to be an excellent choice.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">18k yellow gold wedding rings provide a warm and flattering colour for most skin tones. You will find that this is the most traditional choice for wedding rings as it has the ability to appear either contemporary or vintage, depending on what you are going for.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">18k rose gold wedding rings offer you a contemporary option. This is not the most common metal choice as many people don’t go for rose gold as an option, but it is becoming a more popular choice for male wedding rings. The more traditional metals which are platinum and yellow gold have taken a back seat and rose gold is on the rise. It is a wonderful choice for a diamond set wedding ring and does make for a unique bridal set if this is something that you are looking for. If you want to stand out, then this is certainly going to be a choice for you to consider.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT STYLES OF WEDDING RINGS TO CHOOSE FROM?</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">There are so many contemporary and classic styles for you to choose from when it comes to finding the perfect wedding ring. Both men and women are going to be spoiled for choice when it comes to getting your wedding ring in a style that suits you. You might not want a traditional ring, and that is okay because we can help you create the style that you are looking for even if it isn’t what many would say a wedding ring should look like.
Plain Wedding Rings – One of the most traditional choices for men’s wedding rings is the plain wedding ring. These are a timeless choice that many people love as they have a simple design, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t make it your own. For example, the profile shape of the ring is still entirely up to you. Some of the options you can consider here are:
Full court wedding rings are where the inner and outer surfaces of the band are rounded to make sure there is a comfortable fit.
D shape wedding rings make the inner surface flat and have a rounded outer surface to give that traditional look that some people are searching for.
Light court wedding rings have gently rounded outer and inner surfaces for a more subtle but noticeable domed effect than the full court.
Dome court wedding rings get an inner surface that features a gentle, light dome while the outer surface is domed to look similar to the full court.
Diamond Wedding Rings – Diamond wedding rings are also known as eternity rings and make a popular choice for a women’s wedding rings. You can either choose to go for a whole eternity ring which means that the diamonds cover the entire circumference or choose between 40-60% of the ring. Eternity rings can also be crafted with other gemstones such as sapphires and emeralds and these look stunning.
Scallop set wedding rings are a popular, contemporary style and are regarded as the most sparkly option as the light is allowed to bounce within the diamonds.
Pave set wedding rings is a traditional setting style that boasts a vintage design and looks beautiful with antique inspired engagement rings. The diamonds in this ring are set between small balls of metal and look fabulous.
Channel set wedding rings are modern in style, and the metal work is usually more visible than the other styles we have talked about. The diamonds are set between two strips of metal which give them a bolder appearance.
Engraved weddings rings mean that you can add a beautiful and personal note to your wedding ring. You can choose the message and the font that is written in, to get whatever you desire to be engraved into the ring.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Or, you can choose to create something entirely unique with a bespoke wedding ring. Whether you want a traditional or non-traditional shaped band or something more complex to fit with your engagement ring, you can get it created to your exact specifications.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>CAN I CREATE A CUSTOM WEDDING RING?</strong></p>

Best Places To Propose

<h2>EMERALD QUALITY</h2>
This section is designed to educate you on what your criteria should be when choosing the perfect emerald.

Taking all of the previous information into account, when purchasing an emerald your priorities should be: colour, clarity, saturation, origin, treatment and certification, respectively.
<h2>COLOUR</h2>
Firstly colour plays a huge part with emeralds. All emeralds are dichroic (this means that the stone has 2 colours the primary green and a secondary blue or yellow, these secondary colours are also called hues), blue is generally considered to be the better colour because it is a darker tone which benefits the saturation (see <u>Saturation</u> section for more information) so when choosing to buy your emerald the most desirable colours range from a lovely bluish green to a pure vivid green with a very rich colour while featuring a medium to dark tone.
<h2>CLARITY</h2>
in emeralds clarity is a key factor in terms of quality, the most coveted emeralds have a good amount of transparency. Clarity refers to the amount of inclusions and blemishes contained within a stone, all emeralds contain inclusions this is unavoidable due to how they form within the earth and finding an emerald with no inclusions is the first sign of a synthetic stone (all natural emeralds have inclusions, this is how they are distinguished from their synthetic counterparts).

The left emerald features beautiful colour and the expected amount of inclusions from a high quality stone.

The right emerald while having beautiful colour is however heavily included which greatly decreases the stones quality and thus the stones price.

<h2>WINDOWS</h2>
While transparency is good sometimes you can find an emerald containing a window (which is when the colour in the centre of the stone lacks depth compared to the rest of the stone)which can make the stone less desirable and is a sign that the stone has been cut poorly making it too shallow.
On the left we have an example of a perfect quality emerald. On the right we have a very clear emerald containing a central window.
<h2>SATURATION AND TONE</h2>
In emeralds saturation of colour plays a big part in their quality (and worth) as a lighter colour stone which has a lower degree of saturation is normally less desirable than it’s more saturated counterpart, this owes to the fact that emeralds are more coveted and thus more expensive when they are that darker lime colour. Tone is the type of colour the emerald holds e.g a lighter colour or a darker colour. Tone helps to determine the saturation of the emerald, due to the secondary colour. For example a lighter tone means less saturation (this is more common in stones with a yellow secondary colour hence a blue secondary colour being preferred) and a darker tone means more saturation (more common in stones with a blue secondary colour). However your choice should be a stone that has a good mix of tone and saturation. Go for a stone that has a medium bluish tone while having that vivid lime green. (for example the stone seen below)

<h2 style="text-align: center;">ORIGIN</h2>
<p style="text-align: center;">Your stones origin is important due to its geographical birthplace have a rather significant effect on the price of your stone, as well as stones from different regions having different elements present during their formation, which in turn lend themselves to changing the properties of the stones.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center;">COLOMBIA</h2>
<p style="text-align: center;">Colombia is the most reputable source for emeralds, and its 3 mines have been running since the early 1500s when the Spanish came to South America, and began exporting the stones back to Europe and the Far East. Colombian emeralds are valued for their rich green saturation and medium bluish tone which combine together to create that vivid green colour that is so highly coveted in emeralds. Colombian emeralds are also known to contain a lot more inclusions that other locations due to their forming in sedimentary rock. They often contain a large amount of thin string-like inclusions called jardin (garden in french).</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Emeralds from Colombia owe their higher price to their more prestigious reputation as well as the difficulty that comes with cutting the rough stones. This difficulty comes from how the colour of the emerald is distributed inside the rough, and the constant possibility that the cutter can take away all the colour with one wrong cut, due to the colouring agents being mainly situated around the stones exterior. This risk means that cutting colombian emeralds requires a higher degree of expertise thus incurring more costs and adding to the overalls stones price at sale.
this stone is a premium example of a Colombian emerald in terms of quality.(this stone also features a Jardin).</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center;">ZAMBIA</h2>
<p style="text-align: center;">So we have already established that Colombia is the “gold standard” for high quality emeralds, but up there with Colombian emeralds is Zambia, and while the history behind Zambian emeralds is young in comparison to Colombia, Zambia is slowly becoming a reputable source of beautiful emeralds!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Mining for Zambian emeralds was first initiated in 1976 at the Kagem mine. However the mine did not start producing high quality emeralds consistently until 1984. In 2005 Gemfields (the leading excavator of Zambian emeralds today) began mining in and around Kagem. Then in 2007 Gemfields created a partnership with the Zambian government establishing a 75/25 split ownership of the Kagem mine. I think it is fair to say that Gemfields are responsible for making Zambia the lead provider of emeralds worldwide (20% of emeralds in the world come from Kagem) and in 2009 excavated a shocking 27.6 million carats of rough emeralds!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Zambian emeralds while held in a lower regard to Colombian(due to colombia having a longer history and more ingrained popularity in the gemstone market) are still very beautiful stones holding a very deep vivid green colour, and contain less inclusions that Colombian stones. Zambian emeralds are also harder than colombian (zambian emeralds can range from 7.5 to 8 on the mohs scale while colombian stones stay at 7), which enables them to be cut with less fear of ruining the stone.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">In terms of quality Zambian emeralds are known to hold a slightly darker bluish tone than their Colombian counterparts, due to the presence of iron and vanadium during formation. This darker tone means that lower quality Zambian emeralds are quite common due to said tone negatively impacting the saturation of the stones. (see saturation and tone chart featured above)</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">This zambian emerald is a prime example of the darker blue tone this is common in zambian stones.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center;">TREATMENT</h2>
<p style="text-align: center;">As emeralds are very soft stones often they are found to contain striations or fractures within the stone. To combat this most emeralds are treated with oil which then fills these cracks improving the emeralds clarity. All emeralds are graded on their level of treatment and all emeralds are placed in type 3 of GIA’S categories for coloured gemstones. Because of this oil or resins are used to increase their standing on the type scale.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">When choosing an emerald it is normally best to choose a stone with minimal treatment, because a traditional treatment like cedarwood oil will dry out over time, making the inclusions more prevalent. So if a stone has been heavily oiled, when it dries out it will reveal a lot of inclusions ruining the stone.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Type 1 gemstones: These are typically inclusion free, or almost inclusion free.
Type 2 gemstones: These gemstones are usually included.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Type 3 gemstones: These are almost always included.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Natural AAA: This is the highest quality. It represents are the top 10% of gemstones. Natural AAA emeralds are rich green, moderately to slightly included, and they exhibit very high brilliance.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Natural AA: This is the second-best category for gemstones. Natural AA gemstones account for 20-30% of all gemstones. Emeralds in this category are medium green and may include moderate inclusions.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Natural A: This category accounts for 50 to 75% of all gemstones. Natural A emeralds are dark green, heavily included, and opaque. They are still good, but they are considered to be of a lower quality compared to the two categories above.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Apart from Natural AAA, AA, and A, there’s also a category called Heirloom/Rare Emerald. This is the highest quality, even better than AAA. They are extremely rare and expensive.- taken from <a href="https://www.withclarity.com/education/gemstone-education/emerald-gemstone/emerald-grading">HTTPS://WWW.WITHCLARITY.COM/EDUCATION/GEMSTONE-EDUCATION/EMERALD-GEMSTONE/EMERALD-GRADING</a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">G<a href="https://www.ajsgem.com/articles/certified-gemstones.html">EMOLOGICAL REPORTS</a> usually indicate the level of clarity enhancement for emerald, ranging from None to Insignificant, Minor, Moderate and Significant.- taken from <a href="https://www.ajsgem.com/articles/emerald-enhancements-and-treatments.html">HTTPS://WWW.AJSGEM.COM/ARTICLES/EMERALD-ENHANCEMENTS-AND-TREATMENTS.HTML</a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Many different oils and resins are used when treating emeralds, but the most common is cedarwood oil which is used for due to it’s colourless nature and refracting light at a similar scale to emeralds. In the 1980’s Brazil began using a synthetic resin called opticon which was quickly acquired by colombia, and became popular because of its better stability (does not dry out like oil meaning one time usage), and have a refractive index which was almost identical to emerald (a refractive index is a dimensionless number that describes how fast light travels through the material). the use of this resin sent shockwaves the jewellery market because many emeralds were being distributed with this treatment but were being labelled as no treatment used, which caused buyers to become nervous about buying stones from Colombia.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center;">CERTIFICATION</h2>
<p style="text-align: center;">The last detail to cover about emeralds is certification. Unlike with diamonds GIA is not the best choice for coloured stone certificates, instead the 2 most reputable and trusted certifiers of coloured stones are Gubelin and SSEF. Both of these laboratories take the certification of stones very seriously and thoroughly: inspecting, analysing and grading stones with the utmost care and precision. While both certifiers will inform you to what degree your stone has been treated, neither can inform you what treatment agent has been used as “They refuse to specify the exact type of treatment agent not because it is impossible to identify it, but due to the fact that these laboratories will only state in writing what they can say with 100% accuracy. SSEF is the only Swiss lab that gives any indication of the treatment type, classifying it as either ‘traditional’ or ‘modern’,” ( quote by george smith co-founder of International Emerald Exchange). These classifications of modern and traditional are used to reference whether the stone has been treated with a natural oil (e.g cedarwood oil) or a synthetic resin (like opticon).</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">To conclude this article i have decided to round out all the key points of each section to make it easier for you to remember what your criteria should be.  Since saturation and tone affect colour they will all be grouped as one area. This is the same for clarity and treatment.</p>

<ul style="text-align: center;">
 	<li><strong><u>Colour:</u></strong> the perfect colour is around the strong lime green area, without any windows within the stone and not having too dark of a secondary tone (preferably blue). The picture below is an example of a stone with these criteria.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
 	<li style="text-align: center;"><strong><u>Clarity: </u></strong>all emeralds have inclusions so you should not go out looking for a perfectly clear stone, instead you should look for a stone with less noticeable inclusions and minimal treatment so that you know the stone will hold its beauty.</li>
 	<li style="text-align: center;"><strong><u>Origin:</u></strong> the emeralds origin is important, because Colombian emeralds contain different minerals to Zambian emeralds, which means they have different attributes. If you want a lighter green emerald with a light blue tone, Colombia would be the better choice but the price would be higher. Zambian emeralds are the better choice for darker more saturated colour, due to the presence of iron making them have a slightly grey tone and the price will be lower.</li>
 	<li style="text-align: center;"><strong><u>Certification:</u></strong> when buying a high quality emerald, it is always important to make sure the stone is certified, especially if the seller said that the stone is from Colombia as the certificate will be able to verify its origin, as well as if the stone has been treated and to what extent. Certifications are important because they allow you to be 100% certain you are receiving what you initially paid for.</li>

An in-depth Guide to Buying an Emerald Engagement Ring

<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>NOT TAKING YOUR TIME</strong></p>

You wouldn’t buy a car or a house without thinking it over, so it’s best to treat the purchase of a diamond the same. If you rush into the purchase, you could discover that you’ve made a big mistake not long after buying it. Doing some of your own research is a good start, but the best thing to do is often to get the opinion of a professional if you want to make sure you have the help of someone who knows what they’re talking about.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>IGNORING THE 4CS</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Knowing about “the 4Cs” is essential when you’re buying a diamond. These are the four characteristics that determine the quality and the beauty of a diamond. They are the cut, clarity, carat and colour. While all of these are important, some say that the cut of the diamond is what matters most. Even if the other elements are not as optimal, a good cut can make a diamond sparkle and shine. It can make the colour and clarity look better and even enhance a diamond with a low carat weight.</p>

Compromising on carat size or clarity can be a way to save money, for example. However, you should be aware that you’re unlikely to find similar diamonds for drastically different prices. Diamonds have a relatively fixed wholesale price, meaning you won’t find much difference in price between two diamonds that are the same carat, colour, clarity and cut. If you find one that seems very cheap, it’s likely too good to be true.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>ONLY THINKING ABOUT THE DIAMOND</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">The diamond is, of course, an essential thing to consider when buying a piece of jewellery. However, whether you are buying an engagement ring or treating yourself to a diamond, it’s not the only thing you need to think about. You should also think about where the diamond will be set. You need to think about how a diamond will sit in the ring or other setting, considering things like size and colour to make the right choice.</p>
