5 Diamond Bands in New York


Any kind of diamond jewelry can make for the perfect gift for someone you love. There was a time when many men would shy away from buying their special lady a diamond ring, unless they intended to propose marriage. This is no longer the case today. While gifting any woman a solitaire diamond ring without a marriage proposal may be inappropriate, many men shower their significant ladies with seven diamond bands, eternity diamond rings or 5 diamond bands New York and other metropolitan cities of the United States. These rings profess love but do not make the ultimate commitment of marriage. This being said 5 and 7 diamond rings are popular as wedding bands, anniversary gifts, graduation gifts, and birthday presents as well.

In places like New York, which are known for their diamonds traders and diamond jewelry shops, shopping for such rings can be a bit of a challenge. You are sure to be spoilt for choice and overwhelmed with the range readily available in the market. In many cases you may also find that even though the rings are identical in looks, they may greatly vary in price. This is because the value of diamonds primarily depends on the grades of 4 Cs it possesses. This means that the price of the stone and its value is determined according to the superiority of its Color, Cut, Clarity, and Carat weight. And since in most cases the diamonds’ aspects such as color, clarity and cut can only be realized after careful examination under a microscope, many low quality diamonds of less value can be obtained at lower prices.

While you may be tempted to go in for a diamond ring that has lower grades in terms of the 4 Cs, beware that even if the diamond is considered real, lower grades do affect the diamond’s overall beauty. For example, a diamond ring that is certified a VVS clarity grade cannot compare to a FL or IF diamond in any way. Hence it is most wise to find a balance between your budget and 4 Cs that you desire in the diamond ring. If you have your heart set on 5 or 7 diamond bands, you can either visit the retail jewelry stores in the city or check out some diamond traders’ websites on the Internet.

It is fairly easy to find different designs and styles of 5 diamond bands in New York. All you have to do beforehand is decide on a budget range so that you do not end up spending more than you can afford, find a reliable and reputable company that is known for selling quality products, and know the ring size you wish to buy.

Pear Shaped Diamond Ring


If your special woman is always flipping through ‘People’ magazine or ‘Vogue’, if you haven’t seen her repeat a dress for even your most casual dates, and if she seems to know every little personal detail about your favorite celebrity, it may be safe to say that you can’t settle for a conventional round brilliant diamond engagement ring for her, no matter how trendy the design. Consider something unique and usual. Today most celebrities and fashionistas are seen flaunting Emerald Cut diamonds and pear shaped diamond jewelry. Maybe the best bet would be to buy a pear shaped diamond ring. Pear shaped diamonds are gorgeous and have an elegant charm about them that is unparalleled. To get a clearer picture of what you should be looking for browse through the Internet for images of celebrity engagement rings featuring pear shaped stones.

You can rest assured that your partner will definitely love it and it will win her over. To start with something uncomplicated, take a look at singer and actress Jessica Simpson’s engagement ring given by ex-husband Nick Lachey. With the 3 stone ring has a 4 carat pear shaped diamond in the center in an Ideal cut and two smaller pear shaped Ideal cut diamonds on the side pointing outward. It is simply beautiful. Another celebrity diamond ring worth checking out is that worn by actress Katherine Heigl. Her engagement ring given by husband Josh Kelly has a 3 carat pear shaped diamond surrounded by pave diamonds. If extravagance is more your style, take a look at the pear shaped engagement ring presented by Richard Burton to actress Elizabeth Taylor, with a 69.42 carats diamond.

If simple one or three stone rings don’t catch your fancy, you can search for images of elaborate designs with pear shaped diamonds as well. Rest assured that there is an endless selection that can be found online. In case you want to keep the ring simple but still have it stand out from anything your loved one have ever seen in magazines or on friends, consider using a colored diamond instead of the traditional colorless. This will not only add a special touch to your engagement ring, but even ensure that the answer is ‘yes’. After all, no woman can refuse something as exclusive as a natural colored diamond.

Once you have found the design you are happy with, there are two choices in front of you. You can either choose a similar design from the stock a retail jewelry store has, or buy a loose diamond and get the ring made. Either way, you can be sure that the girl you are planning to propose to is going to absolutely love it.

Eternity Wedding Rings in New York

While the engagement ring is usually chosen by the man, when it comes to wedding rings the couple must take the decision together. There are instances where the man buys a ring set which consists of a beautiful engagement ring and a wedding band for the future wife. But if this is not the case for you, go ahead and choose from the wide range of eternity wedding rings in New York. The Internet can be just the resource you need to do this. After all, you know how men are about jewelry shopping. Plus, nothing can be more repelling than the thought of going from shop to shop looking for that perfect pair of wedding rings. Online diamond jewelry websites give you the chance to shop at your own convenience from the comforts of your home. Even if your fiancé is not too big on jewelry and wants a plain white gold or titanium band for him; there is no reason for you to do the same.

A wedding ring is one of the few items a girl holds on to for her whole life. It is not just a piece of jewelry, but something that signifies a union that cannot be broken. It holds great sentimental value too and hence it comes as no surprise that every woman wants this ring to be perfect. These days eternity wedding bands are becoming increasingly popular. Browsing through some images of eternity bands can give you a clear idea of why it is so. The rings look elegant, yet understated. They exude a classic look while also having a trendy style to them. If you want an eternity diamond wedding band but do not have the budget to splurge on multiple diamonds, you can instead go in for five diamond rings or seven diamond rings that give similar style without having too many diamonds.

There are quite a few ways to make this simple and elegant design a little personal or as per your taste. For instance, you will notice that most designs in eternity bands come with round brilliant diamonds. While these look classy and beautiful, if you want something a little different than the usual, you may want to choose an unusual diamond shape. If your engagement ring has a princess cut diamond as a center stone, choose an eternity ring with tiny princess cut diamonds. Or if you really want your engagement ring and wedding ring to look different from each other, choose a complimentary yet different cut such as cushion or emerald.

Some of the best eternity wedding rings in New York today are the ones that have a modern twist on this classic design. For example, many fashion savvy women are now using natural colored diamonds to adorn their wedding jewelry.

Emerald Cut 3 Diamond Ring

The emerald cut in diamonds can be very versatile. Depending on the setting, design of the jewelry, and precious metal used, this particular cut in diamonds can look everything from art-deco inspired or antique to trendy, elegant and stylish. While if compared to the round brilliant cut, the emerald cut diamond does not match up in the fire and brilliance department, it does make up for it by having elegant long lines and intense flashes of light. Some of the popular jewelry items using this cut are the emerald cut 3 diamond ring – a favorite wedding jewelry, emerald cut diamond solitaire earrings with a matching pendant necklace, an emerald cut horizontal pave set halo engagement ring with an eternity diamond wedding band, and many more.

Emerald cut diamond rings are gaining popularity nowadays. More and more brides-to-be are fascinated with the look of this cut and what it brings to the most important piece of jewelry they will wear for the rest of their lives. The first feature that attracts young women towards this cut in diamonds for engagement rings is its paucity. While round brilliant cut diamonds are commonly spotted on the ring fingers of women from all across the world, only a minor percentage of engagement rings seen on women have emerald cut diamonds as a center stone or solitaire, making such a ring stand out.

For women looking for timeless designs, this cut fits the bill to the T. Emerald cut diamond engagement rings in an antique style are an epithet of classic grace and elegance. Another benefit of the cut is that it will cost you much less compared to the round brilliant of the same quality. This is because the emerald cut is more economical and requires a minimal amount of cutting. An allegory of the Art Deco period and simply stunning in a channel setting, the only thing you need to worry about is the clarity grade of the diamond to truly make your ring spectacular. A flawless diamond may be an investment, but it sure is worth the price when it comes to emerald cut diamonds in your engagement ring. According to experts the ideal length to width ratio you should look for is 1.5:1 for this cut.

A single emerald cut diamond ring or an emerald cut 3 diamond ring are ideal for an engagement ring. For ideas on design and settings you can browse through images of rings on the Internet. Better yet, take a look at some of the celebrity engagement rings for inspiration. For instance, singer Beyonce’s engagement ring made news all over the world. With an 18 carat, IF clarity grade, E color emerald cut diamond, it is the most expensive engagement ring ever, at $5 million.

Heart Diamond Rings


Heart diamond rings are the best gift for women. The heart shape has forever been the symbol of love. Nothing says ‘I love you’ louder than a piece of jewelry with a heart shaped diamond. While a diamond ring is ideally an engagement announcement, if you are not at that stage of your relationship, you can choose any other jewelry with a heart shaped diamond. Some of the popular choices include heart shaped diamond pendant necklace and heart shaped diamond solitaire earrings. Another big dilemma for men is deciding on the budget for diamond gifts. You obviously want the diamond to look big, but how can you achieve this without having to shell out a substantial amount of money? Well, there are some tricks you can use to make her feel like a million bucks without actually spending all that much.

While it is a fact that any diamond’s grades in terms of the 4 Cs namely, carat, cut, clarity, and color determine its price, the diamond’s shape, cut and setting are major aspects that have a huge impact on its apparent size. A heart shaped diamond is a comparative fancy shape that looks larger than round brilliant diamonds carrying equal carat weight. These elongated diamonds also have the advantage of making the fingers look longer and elegant when worn with the pointed end towards the direction of the nails.

Setting is a crucial element when it comes to heart shaped rings. An ideal setting for making the diamond look bigger is a pave setting. This particular setting is made up of small diamonds set side by side into tiny holes with their surfaces in level with the setting to make it appear like a continuous surface of diamonds, while little beads of the precious metal chosen to make the ring hold the diamond in place. Intricate pave settings can be a bit expensive, so you might want to hold its price in comparison to buying a larger carat diamond instead. Another option is the illusion setting, wherein the diamond is mounted to a reflective plate before being set into the band. This setting not only makes the diamond look bigger than it is, but also allows it to appear more brilliant.

Many jewelers recommend shallow cut diamonds to make heart diamond rings look larger. This is a tempting offer as diamonds do appear bigger that the same size stones that have a deeper cut. The only downfall is that the diamonds that are shallow cut do not look as brilliant as the more proportional cut ones. This is because the light traveling through a shallow cut diamond does not bounce off the sides of the stone and back into your vision, but instead goes out the back of the diamond.

Princess Cut Diamond Pendant


Second to only the round brilliant cut diamond, the princess cut is one of the most popular in diamond cuts. Square in shape this diamond gives a contemporary look to any piece of jewelry. In today’s day and age every jewelry piece needs to be versatile as well as modern. There was a time when women would shop for jewelry that matched a particular outfit or dress. People no longer have the time to change their ornaments each day according to their outfit. Most of us find some stunning and unique items like a princess cut diamond pendant necklace and matching princess cut solitaire earrings, and wear them every day. For any woman’s trinket box, a couple of pendant necklaces and pairs of earrings is a must. And what better pendant than one that has a beautiful diamond, and what better earrings than a pair that compliments that pendant and makes the ensemble a classy jewelry set.

Diamonds make fabulous gifts. Whether it is Christmas, your loved one’s birthday, an anniversary, your daughter’s graduation, an engagement in the family or wedding, diamond jewelry can put an unforgettable cherry on the cake. An exquisite diamond jewelry piece can stand out from all other gifts, no matter how expensive, and be treasured for years to come. One of the chief reasons to buy diamond jewelry as gifts instead of anything else is that it conveys a message that you care. Nobody buys diamond jewelry on an impulse. It is only bought for someone who means a lot to you and has played a special part in your life. Some may argue that buying plain jewelry in precious metals can suffice. Well, it can, but can it give the receiver the same pleasure as seeing a tiny sparkler? Diamonds are the last word in terms of class and sophistication. Plus, a plain gold chain might be kept aside, but a diamond pendant will be donned as soon as possible.

Buying a loose diamond or diamond jewelry like a princess cut diamond pendant can be tricky, especially for someone who does not know much about the stones. Most uncertain men and women visit retail jewelry stores and pick up the item that merely looks best and fits their budget. While this can be one way of doing it, retail jewelry stores can be a bit more expensive as compared to diamond dealers or traders that also offer jewelry. In addition, a majority of these traders have a larger collection of diamonds and designs than you see at an average retail store. There are many diamond traders that even offer hands-on assistance by experts to help you choose the perfect diamond in accordance with your decided budget.
