Below are some tips on how to pick affordable real
diamond engagement rings considering the 4 C’s of the
diamond.
Color
The most desired
diamonds are colorless ones rather than the
colored
stones. However, the former ones are really rare and hence expensive. It is better to choose
diamonds with a tinge of yellow or brown that cannot be easily distinguished by the naked eyes, as these
diamonds would be comparatively less costly.
Clarity
Flawless
diamonds are expensive. Hence, incorporate
diamonds with small inclusions that will give a starburst effect or other beautiful upshots. Besides, use settings like
bezel or flush, which will conceal small flaws for an affordable
diamond ring.
Cut
Round brilliant cuts are one of the most popular
diamond ring cut; they are less
expensive because of their availability. On the contrary,
Princess cut and
Asscher cut diamonds are comparatively rare and hence expensive.
Carat
This is the main factor that decides the cost of a
diamond. Do not go bluntly for big
diamonds as it will be really expensive. If you desire a huge
stone, choose multiple
diamonds and set them with a
halo or
cluster setting in order to create an effect of a single huge
diamond.
