The Value Of Diamond Jewellery Is More Than Just The Price!
Of all kinds of wedding and engagement jewellery available today, diamond jewellery is one of the most popular and in demand. Many couples say that diamond jewellery, such as engagement rings, signifies eternal love and stands for the unbreakable marriage bond – at least that's what we hope for! That's why more and more people are careful in choosing the right piece for themselves or their loved ones. You want to get the ultimate value diamond jewellery, in every possible way.
Men say diamond jewellery is timeless because of its classic appeal. At the same time, women tell us that the elegance and simplicity of diamond jewellery can complement almost any current or vintage fashion or style. Of course, both are right!
In this article, we will look at the value of diamond jewellery. We will look at the money value of diamond jewellery and provide advice to help you get the best diamond jewellery for your budget. We will also consider another form of value – the emotional value of jewellery. Some might consider this second aspect even more important than the money aspect. That's because we remember the emotional value of an item long after we have forgotten the price we paid for it!
When You Go Shopping For Diamond Jewellery – Get The best Money Value!
Shopping for that diamond jewellery ring can be quite an adventure if you don't prepare for it. Here are some crucial points to bear in mind to lessen the stress during your diamond jewellery "hunting day":
1. List the qualities you are looking for in your diamond jewellery. Jot down the preferred cut, shape, precious metal, and cost to help you find that perfect diamond jewellery, whether it is an engagement ring for your fiancée or as a present to a very important person in your life.
2. Check the Internet for the latest diamond jewellery trends. Diamond jewellery comes in many beautiful styles, shapes, textures, and colours. Searching websites on the Internet that feature such products will help you determine which ones best suit your needs and budget. You might even decide to buy online because countless unique collections of diamond jewellery are featured there. In fact, buying online has become the preferred option for many diamond jewellery buyers! Very few traditional jewellers can match our range of designs, styles and prices!
3. Examine the diamond jewellery closely. Since the precious metal setting of the jewellery enhances the diamond's beauty, you should examine the setting closely. Make sure that the design of the setting is as practical as necessary while being, at the same time, beautiful in its own right.
The diamonds will invariably cost much more than the precious metal of the jewellery. If you're on a tight budget, you can buy the best stone your money can stretch to and choose a less expensive mount. Perhaps select a basic design in white gold and save up for an intricate platinum setting in the future.
4. Give thought to the size of the diamond on the jewellery. Make sure that the diamond size matches the size of the person to whom you are giving the jewellery. Generally, petite women should wear smaller gemstones than a full-figured woman.
On the other hand, I doubt that many women would criticise a man for giving a too big diamond!
5. Use your imagination and think creatively. Diamond jewellery is a traditional favourite with many classical styles. Still, you can be creative and imaginative about your choices by experimenting with the shape of the stone and the colour of the precious metal setting.
6. After choosing your stone and its shape, decide on the setting or the metal you want to use. The setting can be a four-prong setting that shows off the stone while the six-prong setting offers more of a security advantage. Gold—white, rose or yellow—is the most popular option, but you can also choose platinum if you want to be different.
7. Consider the diamond cut (shape) you prefer. Aside from the diamond stone's size, the diamond jewellery's cut or shape can set it apart from the rest. The safest and most common cuts are round, but you can also opt for a princess, square-cut or solitaire, pear, modern heart shape, teardrop shape, oval shape, emerald cut, marquise shape, or Asscher shape, all based on your taste. Don't be afraid to choose something a little unusual!
The Value Of Diamond Jewellery, Is Not Just Its Price!
All the tips above are designed to address the money aspect of value. For many of us, the emotional value is much greater than the money aspect. We will remember the right piece of diamond jewellery long after the price has been lost to time.
A beautiful piece of diamond jewellery chosen carefully and given for the right reasons will create new memories for an entire lifetime. In many cases, well-loved jewellery becomes a family heirloom and continues to provide emotional connections and new memories across generations.
In that situation, the cost of the jewellery becomes immaterial!
How Does A Piece Of Jewellery Become An Heirloom?
There are many ways that a piece of jewellery becomes a much-loved piece whose existence transcends generations. However, I think we might distil it down like this:
If a piece of jewellery was given with love and worn with pleasure, was associated with good times, making for good memories that turn into family stories. It will inevitably become an heirloom.
The jewellery will be an immensely important item that embodies family memories long after the person who first bought the jewellery and the one who first wore it are long passed away.
Think about the engagement rings and wedding bands often passed down from mother-in-law to daughter-in-law through the son as he asks his girlfriend to become his wife!
A more practical aspect of a piece of diamond jewellery becoming emotionally valuable is that the piece must be well enough made that it can last for a lifetime or longer. Of course, jewellery worn often and for years will need maintenance, cleaning and sometimes repairs. Gold wears, claw settings bend, and clasps can break and need replacement. But, if the piece was designed and crafted poorly, then no amount of maintenance will keep the jewellery in wearable condition.

So, when you buy an important piece of jewellery, following the advice about shopping in the first part of this article, also make sure that you choose jewellery of high enough quality to last a lifetime and longer.
But, above all, when you give jewellery with love, you can be sure that your gift of love has a good chance of being a treasured part of your family (a family that you may not have created yet – children and grandchildren yet to be born). In my family, we have jewellery that has passed through generations and is still loved and treasured today because my great grandparents chose well and shared a life of love that passed through generations. In my turn, I have given my wife gifts of jewellery that she treasures and that our kids ask about when they see my wife proudly wearing it as we create new memories and new stories together.
