Jewelry Appraisal CenterThere are a fantastic number of options for finding the perfect selection of engagement rings that are within virtually any budget. Finding affordable engagement rings doesn't mean having to give up beauty, quality or style, but it does mean knowing how to make the most of what you can afford.
The most expensive component of engagement rings is going to be the diamonds in the setting. Changing settings even a bit will allow you to perhaps select a bigger central diamond. This won't take away from the overall beauty of the ring as it will focus all the attention on the central diamond itself. These solitaire rings are beautiful, timeless and classic .
Another variation on that theme is to look for engagement rings that use a collection of smaller diamonds rather than one very large diamond. Since smaller diamonds are more common and less costly, you can actually have a higher total carat amount for the same or less money. These pave style rings are very attractive when matched with a simple wedding band.
Using semi-precious or other precious stones within groupings on engagement rings may add to the unique quality of the ring while keeping costs within your budget. Often rubies, emeralds and sapphires are combined in engagement ring settings to add color and depth to the ring without adding a lot of extra cost .

There are several cuts of diamonds that actually can make engagement rings appear bigger than they actually are with regards to diamond size. Diamond cuts that elongate the diamond such as oval cuts, marquise cuts and even the pear cut will naturally give a longer shape to the ring .
It is important, whatever type of diamond you are buying, that you purchase the best color, clarity and cut possible, rather than just focusing in on the size of the diamond itself. The dazzle and sparkle of engagement rings is based on those factors, not the size of the diamond. Even a large diamond that is cloudy or flawed is not going to be as nice as a high quality smaller diamond, especially with diamonds in solitaire style round or Asscher cut engagement rings.
While many people shopping for engagement rings don’t stop and talk to a jeweler about options for maximizing your engagement ring budget, it is a really important step. Engagement rings that are beautifully designed don’t always have to be expensive if you know what to look for.
For those that are really interested in maximizing their buying power, mixing settings and loose diamonds is a great option in designing engagement rings. Again, working with someone experienced in engagement rings will help you in getting just the ring you want while staying in your budget.

Jewelry hallmarks
Professional jewelry appraisals completed by gemologists and valuers often have to take into account the effect the jewelry hallmarks have on the value of each item being appraised. Do they alter the price, up or down, depending on the hallmark. The simple answer is yes – and no. It depends on the hallmarks themselves and where they come from.

Vintage is often a term that is used when describing fashions from the past that aren’t quiet at the level of being considered antiques but are still classics. Vintage engagement rings can be from any time period considered to be more modern than ancient, typically from the early 1900’s to the retro period of even into the 1970’s.
Most of the engagement rings from these time periods had very distinctive qualities that uniquely categorize the rings as being vintage. Typically the rings included both yellow and white gold combinations on the… Continue reading Engagement Rings From The Past ...
Platinum is regarded as a superior metal for fine jewelry and is used in many exquisite diamond engagement rings. It is 35 times more rare than gold and is naturally white. It is the strongest metal used in jewelry and is 90 to 95 percent pure. The high purity level makes it hypoallergenic and an idyllic choice for someone who has sensitive skin. Platinum is also almost twice as heavy as 14K gold which makes it very durable.
The reason Platinum is a desirable metal for making jewelry is because it is very malleable and can be formed without cracking… Continue reading Platinum Facts...
