The Anatomy Of A Diamond Engagement Ring Explained

October 4, 2019 By: Terricomment

A diamond engagement ring symbolises the undying love of a man and a woman, which the man presents to his love when asking for her hand in marriage, and if you are planning to acquire such a ring for your partner, here is a brief description of the various components to be found in a diamond engagement ring.

The Anatomy Of A Diamond Engagement Ring Explained

  • The Band Or Shank – This is the metal ring that slips over the finger, and for a diamond engagement ring, the precious metal used for the band would be either platinum, gold, or even palladium, which is sometimes used. Gold could be in the form of white, yellow or rose gold, but platinum is a popular choice, as it is a very hard metal that does not tarnish or fade.
  • The Ring Setting – This is the section that holds the diamonds in place, and there are many different settings, including the solitaire setting, which is made from prongs that hold individual stones firmly in place. The bezel setting is another popular choice, as this is the setting that is the strongest, ensuring that the diamonds always remain in place.
  • The Stones – The most expensive part of the diamond engagement ring, the stone or stones come in many different shapes and sizes, and all diamonds are graded using the 4C system. The 4 Cs stand for Cut, Clarity, Colour and Carat (the weight), and rather than purchasing a diamond engagement ring from a jewellery store, many men prefer the bespoke engagement rings in Sydney that are customised by a specialist jeweller. Buying loose stones and having the ring custom made will actually save you money when compared to buying an existing ring from a retail jeweller. Every woman loves the idea of a truly unique ring. It is important that you have a basic knowledge of how diamonds are graded, and there are informative articles available online that go into some detail about the 4C diamond grading system that is globally recognised.

  • Side Stones – Most diamond engagement rings have smaller stones set on both sides of the central diamond, and there might be a large number of very small stones that are arranged into a shape. The more stones, the more intricate the setting, and generally speaking, the more expensive the ring.
  • The Gallery – This refers to the backside of the ring that fits over the finger, and for a larger centre stone, the gallery would likely be hollow, to show off more of the diamond. 

When looking at diamond rings with a view to proposing to your beloved, it is important to select a design that she will love, and for many couples today, having the ring custom made is preferable to buying an existing ring, which isn’t as expensive as you might think. If you approach a loose diamond merchant, you can choose the stones, then the custom jeweller can design a ring that meets your requirements. With an engagement ring that is unique and one of a kind, your partner will treasure the ring even more, knowing you had it specially made for her.
