Cheap Diamonds Might Have Your Conscience Invoked (Maria Oviedo)

When it comes to proposing to the one, the jitters and pressure of finding the best engagement ring is always there. She keeps telling you that it was her dream since she was little. Finding the perfect one can really be difficult, where do you start? You have never stepped into a jewelry store, lest know the difference between 14 carat to 24 carat. But alas, the time has come for a man to buy his future wife the engagement ring of her dreams.

The big question or perhaps the most feared question to pop up when shopping for one is ' How can I afford this?' You are thinking of perhaps getting a loan, or stopping your sibling's college education for the perfect engagement ring, please don't. Just take a good deep breath and look at the many engagement rings designs. There is still hope, if you know what I mean.

When buying, make sure that you know where your diamonds came from. If you haven't seen any certification, it must be blood diamonds. Just make sure you get your diamond engagement rings on reputable website and you'll be safe. If you want to save, you can buy the metal ring and the stone separately. Just make sure to look for certificate of authenticity usually given by the Diamond Association of South Africa to make certain that the diamonds doesn't come from blood or war ventures.

If you are still unsure and would like to get it as a whole package cheaply, then there has to be other options. While it is not without any risk, but certainly you can go for synthetic diamonds and wish for the best. Actually, there have been lots of stone designs that are manufactured right inside a laboratory but look quite well. Technology such as CVD and HPHT recreates how diamonds form inside the caves. HPHT stands for High Pressure High Temperature which alters a crystals element the same way diamond crystals matures over the years. This technology shows a lot of promise as scientist continues to extract and exploit different possibilities.

Another method is the CVD or Chemical Vapor Deposition. It uses a lower pressure gas to cultivate the diamonds. One great thing about this low pressure is that it creates much clearer diamonds. It is economical can produce a much higher quantity on a given mass per second. But the downside is, it is much slower compared to HPHT which can rip through in several days.

But if that is not your type, there are still some options that you can explore. One such option is the antique jewelry or some family heirloom that has been on your family for years. Just be polite and gentle when asking granny to part with her collection. Check your mother's coffer as well since she might just have the perfect ring that doesn't cost you one cent. If you would like a much more modern look, you can always have them reseated in a more modern shank. You can also look at the internet for more choices when it comes to classic rings. Who knows? It might be the ring of her dreams. To create a unique engagement ring, just find some unique looking stone to put into, and have it reseat the other way around. But whatever you do, set a budget first before trekking on your journey for that perfect engagement ring.

Engagement rings have since been used to symbolize a union between two people. The sight of an engagement ring is exciting. Because there is happiness in the promise of building a life together with that one person that your heart beats for.
