Following are some things you can do to make 1
2 carat diamond rings look pricier to the eyes of a beholder.
Choose the Right Metal
Platinum is the last stop in precious metals, and white enough to look
classic. However, it costs a lot too; so, if you are looking to save money, choose
white gold to get that
platinum look for a fraction of the cost.
Diamond Color
If you have fancy colored
diamonds falling inside your budget, a little bit of
yellow or pink can make the
ring look more expensive. However, if you want to go in for a colorless look to match the
white gold, try the G/H
color grade to get a near colorless
stone without breaking the bank.
Diamond Cut
This is one of the places, where you will need to spend a lot. Getting the best
cut you can afford means the stone looks better all around, and so the
ring looks more expensive. A bad
cut grade, on the other hand, can make the
diamond look dull, and the
ring shabby.
