How do you choose a perfect wedding ring? The engagement is semi-decided by him so how do you choose a perfect ring that is going to be worn by you for the rest of your life? The most important thing to bear in mind is that most women fingers tend to grow slightly bigger during pregnancy and sometimes even after giving birth, thus the ring will fit just nice by that time, so choose a size bigger!
METAL Choose from white gold, yellow gold, rose gold or platinum. In Singapore, most proposal rings and wedding bands are in white gold as it signifies purity. Some of the wedding bands mixed more than one material for a more stylish look. Note: most wedding bands in Singapore come in 18 karat; however, some may be 14k or 22k.
DIAMOND IS THE BEST ACCESSORY ON A WOMAN A diamond’s value can be ascertained by the four C’s – cut, color, clarity and carat. Of which the last three are destined by nature. Invest in a diamond that comes with an international certification which guarantees the integrity of the diamond’s characteristics, you can rest assured that your diamond will remain your most treasured possession for years to come.
DIAMOND CUT A diamond cut to good proportions, will scintillate with fiery light and maximum brilliance. A diamond that is cut too shallow or too deep however, will lose light though its base. There are generally 7 cuts as shown below. Unless you are certain of the cut that she might like, always go for the round brilliant, as it is most common and acceptable as the proposal ring as it signifies a complete marriage / life.
Soo Kee Brilliant Rose®’s geometrically precise 66-facets and its perfect rosette pattern when viewed under a diamond scope ensure that maximum light explodes from the crown.
CLARITY Each diamond is unique and possess its own personality. This is due to the minute traces of minerals that are trapped in each diamond during its formation. These natural characteristics called “inclusions” are the fingerprints of nature that help gemologists determine the age of a diamond. Only the rarest diamonds with exceptional quality and a high level of clarity becomes a Brilliant Rose® diamond.
COLOUR A diamond’s color dependent on the presence of chemical impurities and structural distortions in its crystalline structure, and is an important determinant of diamond quality and price. Diamonds in the normal color range are graded by how closely they approach absolute colorlessness, that is, the higher the grade and value.
CARAT A diamond’s weight is the simplest of its characteristics to measure. A carat is the unit of weight by which a diamond is measured. Because large diamonds are found less commonly than small diamonds, the price of a diamond rises exponentially with its size. However, when the perfect combination of proportions, symmetry and polish is achieved, a brighter looking diamond is created.
Buy the best as your engagement and wedding rings will evoke memories of the most important day of your life forever as some jewellery stores, like Soo Kee Jewellery, do not believe in altering wedding bands (to enlarge or shrink the wedding bands) as it is our belief that a marriage is completed with undying love and promise; and the token (wedding bands) that signifies this commitment should not be altered.
A piece of jewellery is an investment that can be passed from generation to generation. Just like love...
