Solitaire Diamond Ring 1 2 Ct Questions
I wear a ring size 7, what is the best ct size for me in your opinion?
My fiancee is letting me pick out my ring after he proposed and I love the celebration diamond at Zales. The princess cut, solitaire. I was also wondering is it worth the differences, I was looking at a 1 ct for 6,000 a 1 1/2 ct for 13,000 and a 2 ct for 20,000. What do you think….
Here is the links…Big decision! I’m going to be wearing it the rest of my life=)

Really I feel as if the 2 ct would probably look best because I am a size 7 in the finger, however I don’t want to go in and try it on just yet so I won’t have to deal with or waste the saleswomans time. I’m pretty indecisive about this decision so if you have pics of what the size is compared to finger that would be great too!
a 1 ct is a highly desired size for a diamond. the celbration diamond is definitely priced at its worth. it’s at least an si and a near colorless. it also features 102 facets, two times a regular diamond which has 58 facets. it also is set in 18k white gold and has a platinum head.
just go in and try it on. you won’t be wasting her time. that is what we are there for. i really like the 1.5 ct. it’s a really nice size and it won’t look too big.

How to Choose a Diamond Engagement Ring
How to choose an Engagement Ring?
The day has come and you are planning to propose to your girlfriend. You’d like to find her a ring like in the movies, which will show her how much you care and make the day one she will never forget.
Choosing a ring can be divided into 2 steps:
a) Choosing the Ring design and materials.
b) Choosing a Diamond
But before these steps, one must decide on a budget. Assuming you would like a real gold and diamond ring, you budget will vary between 400$ up to 40,000$ and even more…
STEP A : Choosing a ring would be the hard part but not the expensive part. There are hundreds of thousands of designs in the market ranging from 100$ to 2000$ approximately.
The most common ring materials are Gold (Yellow or White) and Platinum. Some cheaper rings can be found made of Sterling silver or Titanium. One needs to remember that there are different purities of gold which are 10K , 14K , 18K or 24K gold. The higher the carat the more pure the gold is and thus more expensive.
The designs vary between a 3 stone ring, a solitaire classic design , a diamond ring with side stones and various kinds of designs based on the 4 major ones mentioned.
STEP B : Choosing a diamond would be quite simple once a budget is decided upon. The diamonds are first categorized by carat which is their weight ( 1 carat is 1/5 a gram ) . The carats range between 0.2- 3.5 ct. . Every diamond has 2 characteristics which affect its price significantly, color and clarity. It would be very easy to find indexes of these values online but normally an average diamonds colors would be between D to G and the Clarity would normally be between S1 to I1.
The last step would be to make sure your jeweler can be trusted. It is recommended to make sure the diamonds will come with an authenticity certificate and to make sure your package is insured, the last thing that you would want is your engagement ring delayed or getting lost in the mail after it has already been paid for. It is also very likely you would need to have your ring cleaned or the ring size modified , you should check whether the retailer you are purchasing from will provide such services free of charge.
