People often go for something that is bigger in size, the bigger the better as they say, but is it really the same when it comes to diamond engagement rings? Many people often think that engagement rings should come with a sparkly, gigantic-sized diamond engagement ring and will make you the envy of all your lady friends. But at the end of the day, does the size really matter?
If money is not an issue, then buying a large-sized diamond engagement is great. However, a 2013 study by Jewellers of America revealed that people spend on average of $4,000 on engagement rings. There is no golden rule on how much one should spend on engagement rings what matters is you don’t end up paying for your engagement for the next 10 years! So set a budget rule and know your options before buying. Here are some tips you may consider to make the diamond appear bigger:
• Buy a well cut diamond with ideal symmetry and finish because this makes the diamond shine a little brighter while showcasing all of its facets. You do not have to invest in high quality diamonds; instead choose the ones with smaller carat size because one way or another, they can still sparkle on your finger.
• Choose a fancy shape, such as the emerald or marquise shaped diamond because they make the diamond look larger and more sparkling than it really is.
• You can use smaller side stones for accentuation since they help draw attention towards the center of the ring. It can also make the engagement ring appear more extravagant while adding multiple dimensions of glitters to the centre stone.
• Go for a bezel setting. This type of setting has a metal rim that circles the centre stone, which helps enhance its outline.
So there you have it. You do not really have to invest a lot of money just to buy a massive diamond engagement ring. Do you have any ideas to add? Let us know in the comment section!
