Design my own engagement ring

Before you can start designing your own engagement rings, there are a few important information that you must have first.


You need to know what are her style in jewelry first. Next you need to be aware of your budget too unless you do not have to worry about spending too much.


Designing your own engagement ring is really simple and you can do it over the internet. Through the web, you can easily browse and compare prices between different diamonds, settings and rings.


All you have to do is to select the stone piece first. Most people will choose diamonds because that is what most women are crazy for.



Next, you will need to select the perfect setting for the stone. Depending on the size and type of diamond you choose, some diamonds will only look great on certain settings. Below are a list of popular settings you can choose from:





You will also need to specify the perfect metal type while designing your own engagement ring. White gold and yellow gold (14k and 18k) are very popular choices. If you can afford to spend more on designing your own engagement ring, go for platinum as it is the best metal for engagement ring.


It is important to note that karat and carat are not the same. Carat is used for measuring the diamond weight while karat is used for measuring the content of gold based on the 24 parts system.




So a 14k gold piece is actually 58.3% pure gold because (14/24) * 100 = 58.3%. Similarly, an 18k gold piece is 75% pure gold. 24k gold piece is pure gold because (24/24) * 100 = 100%.


The difference? Well, even though 24k gold is pure gold, it is not recommended because pure gold is too soft for any type of jewelry making. A 14k gold piece may look less rich in yellow color (less gold content) than an 18k gold but it is definitely stronger.
