How to Choose a Natural Diamond Ring That Matches Your Love Story

When it is time to consider buying an engagement ring, you may be overwhelmed by the number of jewellers and natural diamond collections. Even Hatton Garden shops are so numerous that visiting this diamond capital can be stressful.

There are so many natural diamond engagement rings available that one may not know where to begin to filter out all the rings till you get to that perfect one. Help is on the way. Go through this guide and get the information you need to make your engagement ring shopping more delightful and less hectic.

Choosing The Right Natural Diamond Ring

Selecting the perfect natural diamond is about more than just sparkle—it's about finding a gem that reflects the depth and beauty of your unique love story. With so many shapes, sizes, and qualities to consider, the process can feel overwhelming. But by understanding the key factors that define a diamond’s brilliance and value, you can confidently choose one that not only dazzles the eye but also captures the essence of your commitment.

The guiding steps for choosing the natural diamond engagement ring are- 

1. Find A Reputable And Trusted Jeweller

Hatton Garden Jewellers are the most reputable jewellers in the UK and probably the rest of the world. They have spent generations building their reputations and becoming some of the most trusted jewellers to make your selection.

Part of building that reputation is offering the highest quality diamonds possible, coupling them with the finest craftsmanship honed over hundreds of years of training.

Online jewelers may provide natural diamonds at lower prices, but they cannot match the in-person experience when it is time to select an engagement ring.

2. Watch The Price

This is valuable information to have in your engagement ring shopping arsenal. There are very good reasons why some diamonds are priced far lower than similar size and quality diamonds.

If the diamond looks milky, damaged, treated, or not natural, then its price will be considerably lower than a flawless natural diamond. The Lab reports and the 4Cs will guide you and help you avoid these less valuable diamonds.

3. Know The Different Shapes And Cuts

Hatton Garden engagement rings come in a variety of shapes and cuts. Knowing all the different shapes and cuts will help you find the perfect ring that will complement your fingers.

The round cut is the most popular but these other cuts marquise, pear, oval, rectangle, square, and heart, are just as good and often impact the price in your favour. Each shape and cut also influences the 4Cs providing unique looks and brilliance to each style of diamond.

Do your research on the different shapes and cuts to ensure you find the ring that you will adore and cherish forever.

4. Lighting Makes A Difference

Most jewellers will show their diamond collection under the most flattering lighting. They do this to display the fire and brilliance while making the ring look dazzling. 

But do not be wowed by this demonstration. Take the time to look at the diamond ring under various lights to be completely satisfied with the way it looks. Each lighting option brings out different illuminating diamond features.

5. Know Your Metals

Each metal, yellow, white, rose gold, platinum, and even silver affects how your diamond will look. Each colour of metal influences the colour of the diamond and changes its appearance.

Pick out the metal you want to wear for the rest of your life and examine the colour of the diamond in that colour. If you are not sure, try several different metals to see which appearance will be the best look on your finger.

Yellow gold is very popular due to the long tradition of being matched with diamonds. But do not let tradition affect the colour of the metal you want in your engagement ring.

6. The Setting Matters

In creating your ideal ring, you need to consider the setting the diamond will be placed. The two most popular settings are the prong and the bezel. The setting’s job is to protect the ring from damage and to hold it in place without ruining the dazzling beauty of the diamond.

The diamond you select will be influenced by the setting, so take time to consider all your setting options. The different diamond shapes work with different settings to provide ultimate protection.

7. Side Stones Are A Factor

While some couples prefer solitaire diamond engagement rings, side stones not only enhance the look of the main diamond but they help increase the ring’s value.

The main guiding tip for diamond side stones is to make sure they have similar 4C ratings. This helps match up all the diamonds and provides more brilliance to your ring.

8. Choosing A High-Quality Diamond

On top of all this, there are some other important criteria to use to find that perfect natural diamond for your engagement ring

Measurement & proportion - aids visual appeal

Polish - aids the final look

Symmetry - aids light reflection and sparkle

Fluorescence -aids the quality of colour
