WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO PURCHASE A DIAMOND ENGAGEMENT RING?
There’s no right or wrong time to propose. But, did you know the festive season is one of the most popular times of the year to get engaged? The holidays do not only offer you a joyous occasion to get down on one knee, but this time of the year can also be beneficial to your pocket if you’re planning to purchase a diamond engagement ring. Even though a few reputable jewellers offer spectacular prices all year long, the festive season is the best time to purchase a diamond engagement due to possible exclusive offers. Besides the 4Cs of diamond grading, here are a few things you need to consider before you buy a diamond ring this festive season:
One of the most important aspects to consider before purchasing a diamond is the 4Cs
PURCHASE FROM A REPUTABLE JEWELLER
Before you buy a diamond engagement ring make sure to purchase the creation from a reputable jeweller you can trust. This will not only ensure that you receive a diamond of high quality, but it will also ensure that your diamond has been sourced ethically and conflict-free. Make sure to ask the right questions and do your research before you purchase your significant other’s dream engagement ring.

THE CUT OF THE DIAMOND
The cut of a diamond has a significant impact on the overall look of the stone. When a diamond is cut according to the perfect symmetry and proportion, a beautiful balance of light is displayed. The diamond cut will not only have an impact on the overall look of the diamond but the price of the diamond.
Lookout for a reputable jeweller who offers the best quality diamond cuts at the very best price. A diamond might seem affordable, but if the stone isn’t cut to perfection you might be at risk of purchasing a diamond that might appear dull due to a poor cut.

ASK FOR A DIAMOND CERTIFICATE
Once you’ve decided on the perfect diamond engagement ring for the person you love, ask to view the diamond certificate before you make your final decision. Most reputable jewellers offer to show the diamond’s certificate before you decide to buy the ring. The Gemological Institute of America (GIA), European Gemological Laboratory and Scientific Gemological Laboratory (SGL) are reputable diamond grading laboratories that fairly evaluate the 4Cs (cut, colour, clarity and carat weight) and other important information of a diamond in a form of a certificate.

Create your dream diamond creation according to your budget. By creating a bespoke design, your significant other will receive a diamond engagement ring that fits their own personality and style.
