1 Ct Diamond Earring.
Q.I have been looking at diamond rings for sometime now. Been in sooo many stores and delt with many sale personalities...some very good and some very disappointing. I have learnt a fair amount concerning diamonds. My question.....how are diamonds priced for their grading. There must be some mathematical way of pricing diamonds. For example if I choose to go up in color or clarity, I should have some idea of how much of an $ increase is reasonable. Also, I need some idea of what base cost for an 1. carot VS or SI stones is best. Anyone have suggestions of where to visit in the chicagoland area?
A.The engagement ring is traditionally given by a man to a women to symbolize the intent for marriage. It is usually presented when the man proposes to the woman and is worn throughout the engagement. Traditionally the engagement ring has a single diamond in it. This is called the diamond solitaire. It is not uncommon to see people use a variety of rings as symbols of their engagement. This FAQ deals solely with the purchase of diamonds. Finally, the wedding band is traditionally a gold band with no seams. This continuity is supposed to symbolize the eternal bond of marriage. These are presented to one and other at the wedding ceremony. diamond being the hardest substance on earth was valued as early as the 15th century. The first diamond engagement ring was given in 1477 by Archduke Maximilian of Austria to Mary of Burgundy. The wedding took place 24 hours later. In these times, diamonds were uncut, so they were valued as a symbol of strength and protection, not beauty. This is where the tradition began.
