How to choose a diamond ring is the most reasonable? Today I have sorted out the ultra-full tips for you to buy from diamond rings, and you will understand all of this article!
First of all, we make it clear that a diamond ring is composed of loose diamonds and a ring holder, which mainly involves two aspects of the purchase factor: one is the raw materials and cutting process of loose diamonds, and the other is the design style and inlay process of the ring.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="3" > about the quality of loose diamonds</h1>
First of all, the quality of diamonds is mainly based on international diamond grading, for a loose diamond, they are from several major diamond processing centers in the world, they have no brand, no origin, only high and low grades.
That is to say, Tiffany, Cartier's 2-carat clarity VS1, 3EX cut, non-fluorescent and milk-free diamonds are no different in quality from other jewelry custom companies of the same grade.
The global grading standards for loose diamonds are very complete and exhaustive, so it can also be said that the selection of diamonds is not to pick the brand, but to choose the certificate.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="5" > second, the standard of diamond price</h1>
Diamonds are the most standard of any gemstone, not only in terms of quality grading standards, but also in price standards.
For GIA's 4C grading standard, international diamond transactions have a unified standard quotation, of course, when it comes to the final consumption behavior, the price will deviate from the standard quotation, which is related to the cost and profit distribution of the middleman link.
The International Diamond Quotation Form is updated every year, and we can find the standard diamond quotation through the Internet.
The main reason for the price difference between the brand and the custom diamond ring is that it comes from the difference in marketing promotion links, such as the draw of the mall, the rebate of the headquarters, etc., which are the reasons for the formation of the brand premium.
Direct custom diamond ring is suitable for friends who pursue personality and design sense, and it is relatively cost-effective Oh ~ If there is a diamond ring customization need, you can add the following contact information to consult ~

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="8" > third, the diamond report is selected for GIA certification</h1>
In general, diamonds above 0.5 carats are best looked for a GIA report, and small diamonds with less than 30 points can be based on the national inspection report. If you want to make a double certificate, you can open a national inspection certificate after the whole ring is ready.
GIA is recommended because the grading criteria for GIA reports are the most stringent. Diamond grading does not rely on equipment and instruments, mainly the eyes of diamond graders, and people are not as cold and unbiased as machines.
A more rigorous evaluation system can ensure the quality of diamonds and help consumers with a professional eye.
Fanilov is a member of the World Diamond Exchange Alliance (WFDB) and a member of the Shanghai Diamond Exchange. The brand normally holds more than 2,000 spot diamonds, which can fully protect the customer's customization process, what you see is what you get.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="12" >4. Cost-effective: Choose each 4C to find the critical value</h1>
The 4Cs of Diamond Grading is the first standard system for diamond grading set by GIA in the world, and now the world's major gem identification agencies basically grade diamonds according to the 4C classification.
1) Clarity clarity
First the clarity ranges from flawless FL/IF to P-grade drills, with various levels in between. The most common of these are the three categories of VVS/VS/SI, each of which is divided into 2 sub-levels.
It is recommended to choose diamonds with a clarity of VS2 or higher. Because in the diamond grading standard, SI1 is a diamond grader with a 10x magnifying glass to easily find inclusions or surface scratches that affect clarity, which cannot be detected by naked eye observation.
VS2 is more insurance choice, with a purity visible to the naked eye. Especially for special-shaped diamonds, VS will also guarantee the strength of the diamond.

2) Color color
The color ranges from the whitest color of the D color to the worst color of the M/N color, and the color is an important performance that determines the beauty of the diamond, so the color level should be carefully selected. The fastest circulation speed on the market, that is, the most cost-effective segment is G color H color I color.
It is recommended to choose the color level F-G. The H color is called white in diamond grading, but in fact there has been a slight yellow tone, and the price of the overwheel color is also high.
However, diamonds below the color of H will affect the beauty because the color is too yellow, so the F-G color is more suitable to choose, and if the budget is low, you can consider the H color.

3) Cut cut
In the cutting process, the standards of round drills and special-shaped drills are not the same.
A special-shaped diamond is one that is in every shape except the standard round diamond, including heart,princess, step, drop, and so on. Round diamonds are more liquid in the market, because in general, round diamonds are still mainstream in the market.
Round diamonds have 3 cut indicators: Cut Grade, Polish, Symmetry, each with Poll, Good, Very Good, Excellent and other level evaluations.
For standard round diamonds, the 3 indicators are preferably EX's cutting standards. Special-shaped drills have only 2 cutting indicators: Polish and Symmetrry.
In a word, if you can't remember these, look for 3EX!
Fanilov's diamond cuts are all 3EX, which can fully guarantee the perfect effect of the custom process, and the brand's jewelry craft creation team has exquisite craftsmanship and complete technology.

4) Carat weight
This is definitely heavier and more expensive, look at the budget Ha.
In addition to the above 4C standards, it is best to pay attention to the diameter of the diamond, the date of the report, the strength of the fluorescence, the presence or absence of milk coffee, whether the fire is flashing and so on.

5) Choose a tipps for colored diamonds
Fancy color diamonds are also diamonds, and the same is looking for a GIA report
Diamonds with a slight brownish color are in the brown series, called coffee diamonds.
Cream diamond refers to the diamond appearance appears creamy due to a large number of small inclusions inside the diamond, and the general cream diamond will affect the refractive and transparent feeling of the diamond, resulting in a feeling of surface fogging.
Coffee and milk diamonds are not shown in diamond reports, you can ask the merchant if they are milk diamonds and coffee diamonds.
The fluorescence of the diamond is independent of the diamond 4C parameters, which can be used as a secondary index to assess the quality of the diamond, and the GIA report will, if there is no fluorescence, it will be marked: none, and the weak fluorescence is: Faint.
Fluorescence is not marked at all on the domestic certificate, many salesmen will rarely mention it to customers, generally only the industry knows that the fluorescence grade does affect the price of diamonds.

Finally, a hands-on manual for measuring the rings is included:
First use the silk thread to circle the finger, then cut the silk thread down and straighten it, and measure the length of the silk thread with a ruler
Then, according to the comparison table of ring sizes, the length of the silk thread around the finger measured is 52MM, so the finger size is 12.
You can also take the appropriate ring volume directly, the inner diameter length of the ring is compared with the size table, and the size can also be determined.
Generally speaking, due to the colder weather in winter, the fingers are one to half the size thinner than in the summer. To get a more precise size, you can measure it at the end of the day, when the size of the finger is the largest.
Most of the department girls wear ring numbers of 10-15, of which the number of 12 and 13 is more, and the number of rings worn by boys in most departments is 17-22, of which 18-20 is more.
