Buying a diamond is part of the fairy tale for many women. That fairy tale, with which to begin the longed-for happy ever after life. A diamond can make a woman feel unique and different if you know how to choose the one that best suits her style and personality. And why not surprise her with a coloured diamond?
Natural coloured diamonds, known as Fancy Diamonds are true miracles of nature, and are among those highly sought-after items. The rare gems, recognised for their beauty, encompass a wonderful palette of colours including roses, champagnes, cognacs, yellows, greens, blues, oranges and reds. Each natural coloured diamond is a unique jewel in its own right. The mosaic of colours and the play of light of these diamonds show us a warmth and sophistication that no other precious stone offers. They represent the pinnacle of personal expression and individuality.
If you want to make her feel special without getting out of your budget, you should encourage yourself to look for something different. I invite you to follow these tips before going to the shops:
1) Find your colour.
The best way to learn more about natural coloured diamonds is to see them personally. Thus, it is advisable that you either check out Diamonds in New Zealand in person, or do a little bit of research to get to learn the unique characteristics and subtle differences of each stone, before you finally choose the diamond that fits her taste and your budget. Only a slight change in intensity can make a coloured diamond significantly more affordable. The intensity of the colour, i.e. the depth or vividness of the colour, is the most important parameter in the purchase of a fancy colour diamond. The more intense the colour, the rarer and more valuable the diamond will be.
2) Consider sacrificing colour for size.
The clearer the coloured diamonds, the less expensive they generally are than their intense and vivid counterparts. However, they contain the same shade and colour you’re looking for in a diamond. Consider sacrificing the strength of colour for a larger stone. The way you choose to set your stone can produce an important colour enhancement.
3) Think about modifying colours.
The cost of a diamond with a pure hue, such as pink, blue or green can be reduced when it has modifying colours such as grey, brown or yellow. There is an endless palette of colours available, and you must choose the one that attracts you the most.
4) Be unique and fun.
Fashion jewellery designers have fun creating unique pieces using stones like exotic fancy coloured diamonds in white, brown and olive green colours. Many of these diamonds are widely available and are affordable in 1 carat sizes and look very impressive in solitary rings or engagement rings.
5) Design your own ring.
Natural coloured diamonds are much more spectacular than colourless diamonds. Many modern jewellery designers use a series of smaller stones to create unique pieces at interesting prices. Encourage yourself to create a custom jewel that has the colour that best suits your style and your budget.
Next time, when you go looking for diamonds in New Zealand, remember your choice depends on the balance you want in the desired diamond. The important thing is to find the right equation between budget, design and quality available. But, as you have seen, there are diamonds for different pockets without a doubt. Just make sure that the diamond you buy is GIA certified and has authenticity, and comes from fair trading practices.
