The shopping experience can become highly rewarding if you acquaint yourself with the terms you will customarily encounter while selecting the ring. It will step up your confidence and thwart the malicious intents of unscrupulous sellers to pass over spurious or knock off rings. 

·         Ring band: The ring’s circular potion that embraces the finger and is made out of precious metals or alloys.  The colour of natural gold is yellow orange with a tint of another metal induced to enhance its durability. Gold of lower purity comes in light yellow colour. White gold is alloyed with rhodium for a silvery facade. However, the plating is subjected to wearing off and requires re-plating at fixed intervals. Platinum is a strong metal with silvery appearance which will get faded slightly in due course of wearing it.  You should abstain from purchasing high colour grade diamond with gold setting as the diamond will lose its sheen against golden background

·        Setting: It is the piece bonded to the band that keeps the diamond in place. The setting comes as ‘pronged’ or ‘invisible’. If you are looking for the safety of the diamond, you should invariably opt for a bezel or six pronged setting 

·      Gems: Gemstone is jokingly termed as ‘rock’. It is desirable to go for a larger stone which will  complement and flatter the personality optimally. Diamond is the most preferred gemstone

·           4Cs: They refer to colour, carat, clarity and cut of the diamond 

 The cost of the diamond. Alternately, you can prefer a cubic zirconia which is as captivating as diamond and one cannot distinguish its characteristics from its physical appearance. However, it is soft compared to original diamond and dullness can set in over time. You can also choose lab cultivated diamonds over traditional diamonds to cut down the cost. The price of lab diamonds is a fraction of the traditional diamond and the beauty and refulgence are similar. You need to research intensively to grab the best deal as a rhodium plated silver ring can be made indistinguishable from a white gold ring with rhodium plating by a cunning craftsman. Further, the price of the diamond is a function of its size and hence you can save by choosing a small real diamond set in a gold ring.

·          Now, that you have gained enough insights into the basic terminology that guides the jewelry industry, you can proceed with confidence to buy the most effulgent diamond engagement rings.
