If you’re like many admirers, you know that antique diamond<\/a> rings are truly unique jewels. Those without treatment are preferred for use in an engagement ring because they are not enhanced and allow the natural beauty of the stone to shine through. But, if you choose to buy one of these untreated gems, follow the advice of experts and get its condition documented on your sales receipt.<\/p>\n

Historically, Only Royalty Were Allowed To Wear Diamonds<\/p>\n

Many belonging to the Edwardian High Society wore diamonds. The members of this group were respected due to their birth which emphasized the distance between the different castes. Because it is when people began to question societal differences, this particular period in history may have been the foundation which allows anyone to possess these dazzling stones today.<\/p>\n

It should come as no surprise given the history of diamonds that Europeans of the 15th Century first introduced the gem as a formal engagement and wedding ring. Many of the time viewed them as a representation of fortitude, innocence, prosperity and faithfulness. By today’s standards, the wedding ring symbolizes an eternal commitment with no ending and, in contrast to the days of past, the main consideration is given to the ring’s appearance.<\/p>\n

Not only are diamonds known for their beauty and symbol of eternal love, they have time-tested strength and durability. Natural diamonds have proven to withstand knocks and scratches of everyday life inflicted over years of wear. By contrast, their treated counterparts have not been given this same test of time for the obvious reason they have not been around as long.<\/p>\n

When selecting the perfect stone, some believe that size is the most important thing. In fact, many believe that the larger the carat, the more expensive the ring. However, there are other factors that come into play when determining price. One of these factors is the color grading system. For example, colorless diamonds are the most expensive while a noticeable yellow color will cost less.<\/p>\n

If a flush setting is used, the diamond is set securely and presents a smooth appearance. This type of mounting is recommended for anyone who does a lot of work with their hands. The flush setting is generally more expensive than the prong setting, but the stone receives more protection with this option.<\/p>\n

Diamonds often symbolize wealth and status. However, beyond the traditional symbolism the chosen cut of the stone can provide some personal insight. Generally speaking, individuals wearing a rectangle or square cut display discipline and a value for organization and honesty. Someone preferring the pear cut tends to be adaptable and is often centered on their home and community<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Finding antique diamond rings can be a fun and rewarding experience. Just remember to follow the appropriate guidelines for quality, look for authentication and proper mounting. Perhaps the most important qualification is that you or your gift recipient like the way it looks and will enjoy wearing it.<\/p>\n
