Shop Truly Unique Engagement Rings In Saskatoon
An engagement ring is a very special piece of jewelry – one you will purchase only once if your lifetime! Make sure that you take the time you need to make the decision. Remember – this will be sparkling on her finger for the rest of your lives together. When considering how much you should spend on an engagement ring, the general rule of thumb is three months’ salary. At first glance that seems like a tremendous amount of money, but again, remember that she will be showing off this ring for many, many years to come. There are so many things to take into consideration when you begin shopping for this purchase. Besides the original C’s – cut, clarity, color, and carat – you also need to take into consideration what kind of ring will fit her lifestyle.
If you want a stone that is truly unique, start by looking at an emerald cut engagement ring. Only 3% of the diamonds in the world are emerald cut, so right away you have a stone that is truly distinctive. They tend to have a vintage look to them, as they are certainly a classic cut. An emerald cut also has the flattering effect of elongating the fingers, making them look longer and narrower. The way emerald cut engagement rings are made is that they have a step cut instead of a brilliant cut. The step cut creates flashes of white light that radiate from the stone. The average emerald cut stone has a 5% greater surface area than a princess cut stone, so right away the stone appears larger. And because they are less in demand you can expect to pay approximately 20% less for an emerald cut ring than you would for the same quality with a princess cut.
