The first part is over. The engagement ring is sitting nice and snug in your finger. Now comes the dreaded second part, the wedding ring. These days it is just not enough to go for any kind of gemstone. For those who can afford it, a diamond wedding ring is a must. For a person buying that ring, it means the ultimate gift of love for life.
Choosing a design can be a nightmare as innovation in ring designs have gone off the scale. Today, you can get just about any design or any sized ring. It is not uncommon to here celebrities wearing 8-10 ct diamond wedding rings!
Diamonds by Moonlight recommend that you consider the following based on our experience spanning 30 years.
- Decide what shape you want ( rounded, high or flat band)
- Ensure the diamond is perfectly mounted – It is meant to be there a lifetime!
- Choose the shape according to your lifestyle. If you are an avid gardener, then a high set diamond may not be a good idea as it will be more prone to scratching.
- Ensure the weight of the ring and diamond are balanced so that the ring does not turn around your finger
- You want the diamond wedding ring to last so certain cuts like the princess cut are prone to chipping. Again, choose something which fits into your lifestyle.
- Consider choosing a diamond wedding ring to match your engagement ring. The result can be truly spectacular.
