So how to choose the right marriage proposal or engagement diamond ring, you need to know the following points:
First, understand the 4C classification of diamonds.
The 4C classification of diamonds is to evaluate diamonds from four aspects: carat weight, color, clarity and cut. The initials of these four aspects are all C, so they are called 4C classification for short. In addition to these four aspects, the milk color, coffee color, fluorescence and certificate of diamonds are also several aspects that you need to pay attention to.
1, color classification
Color gives people the most intuitive feeling, so the color of diamond is the first choice. GIA classifies the color of diamonds into 23 grades, which are represented by letters, where D is the highest grade and Z is the lowest grade. Because diamonds belong to colorless series and need to be colorless to the naked eye, it is recommended to choose H or above;
2. Classification of clarity
The classification of clarity requires professional classification, which is the result of careful observation under a magnifying glass of 10 times, so the choice of clarity ranks second; The Gemological Institute of the United States divides the clarity of diamonds into five major grades and eleven minor grades. Considering the beauty, it is recommended to choose diamonds above VS2 grade.
3, the classification of cutting work
Good cutting can show the beauty of diamonds to the greatest extent, which is called the second life of diamonds. The evaluation content includes three aspects: proportion, polishing and symmetry. Each project is divided into five grades, namely excellent, very good, good, average and poor. It is recommended to choose a level above VG.
4, the choice of certificate
At present, international certificates with high market recognition include GIA certificate, HRD certificate and IGI certificate, among which GIA is the representative of American diamond grading system and HRD is the representative of European diamond grading system, and GIA diamond grading certificate is the first choice.
5, the choice of weight
Diamonds have the characteristics of carat premium, and the main reason for putting them at the end is to choose the largest diamond in your own budget after all the above seven items are set, so that the diamond you choose is the most cost-effective diamond.
Second, understand the diamond inlay technology.
According to the different inlay methods, the mainstream in the market are package inlay, fork inlay and clip inlay:
1, mosaic-the strongest mosaic method
Mosaic is the strongest of all mosaic methods, which has great advantages, but the most fatal disadvantage is that the light entering the diamond is greatly reduced, which can not show the beauty of the diamond well.
2. Pointed mosaic-the most common and mainstream mosaic method.
Pointed inlay is the most common diamond inlay method. Several metals hold diamonds like claws. According to the number of claws, they can be divided into three-pronged inlay, four-pronged inlay, five-pronged inlay and six-pronged inlay. This kind of inlay is the most eclectic way, which is both firm and allows the light to enter the diamond to the maximum extent, which is both firm and beautiful.
3, inlay-diamonds are the most beautiful, but the firmness is low.
In fact, inlay is to use the elasticity of metal to firmly clamp the diamond. The famous angel kiss uses this mosaic method to expose the diamond to the maximum extent, and the light can enter the diamond to the maximum extent, thus showing the most beautiful state of the diamond. However, the disadvantage of this mosaic method is low firmness.
After understanding the basic knowledge of diamond ring, you can choose the right engagement or proposal diamond ring according to your budget and preferences.
Who doesn't want to spend the least money to buy the best ring and get a more affordable price/performance ratio than others? This is not to take advantage, but to choose the method that suits you. This is an ability. Share the following methods.
It is essential to choose brand goods at a low price. You don't have to worry about anything else if you find the source. If you look for an insider, you will naturally get a better price than the store with the internal price, but the styles you may choose are limited. Without the invoice certificate, you will naturally not enjoy any after-sales service.
Choose personal tailor, and customize the loose diamond and ring holder separately. You can choose GIA-certified diamonds for loose diamonds. You are not a professional, there is no need to know so many so-called factors such as diamond weight, clarity, color, cut, coffee, fluorescence and so on. In the end, you are still at a loss. Unified 4C standard has no moisture. Find three or five diamond suppliers (e-commerce platform or diamond wholesale center in Shenzhen and Guangzhou) and make a physical inspection. If the diamond is big, the money saved will be enough for your round-trip air ticket.) It is fair to compare the parameters and cost performance of the diamond with each other. Just find another mosaic factory or shop for processing, and the cost and loss are also very transparent. The processing fee is cheap in Guangzhou, and the working fee is expensive in Shenzhen.
After all, if you don't rely on this major to support yourself, it will be rare for everyone to buy a diamond ring. There is no need to spend so much energy to get to the bottom of it. I have a lot of professional knowledge, but I really don't understand it after a few years. It's more affordable than the style you bought in the store. Don't be silly and know everything, just go to the physical store and listen to what others say, thinking that you can give a surprise. It's hard to say whether this surprise is worth it.

Platinum is quite expensive, so it is obviously not worth using it as a ring holder. It is better to use this money to make the carat content of diamonds higher. In contrast, the price/performance ratio of K gold is obviously higher. Inlay has high hardness, firmness and easy molding.
