Gemstone rings are quickly becoming a popular alternative to the diamond when it comes to buying engagement rings and wedding rings. However they are also a great idea as a birthday gift or Valentine’s day gift. No matter what occasion you are buying a new gemstone ring for, it helps to know what to look for when making your purchase. This will ensure that you get the best quality gemstone ring available.
Color
Since gemstone rings are typically colored, the color of them plays a most important role when making your purchase. With a deep tonality and a pure hue, your gemstone ring is sure to wow and be one of the best items of jewelry in your loved one’s collection. When looking at the color of the gemstone ring, be sure to keep in mind that the deeper and more vibrant the hue, the better the ring. Irradiation and heating are common treatments that gemstone rings undergo to enhance their appearance.
Clarity
As you purchase your gemstone ring, it helps to be aware that they won’t all be crystal clear. This is because almost all gemstone ring jewelry has some sort of inclusions on them. However this doesn’t mean that the ring isn’t a good choice. Obviously the less inclusions, the better and it will be helpful to work with a local jeweler in order to find the best option for your needs.
Cut
The best cut in your gemstone ring is one that doesn’t expose too many inclusions but instead shows off a great color for each ring. The cut should also show the majority of the gemstone’s weight when it is inset into jewelry.
By keeping these points in mind, you will be well on your way to choosing the best gemstone ring for you.
