Channel Set Diamond Engagement Ring

Today I have selected a wedding ring that one can only fall in love with. This one came straight out of the “Design Your Own Engagement Ring” tool from the James Allen Site (one of our premier Diamond Online Retailers).

I chose the diamond setting for its throne-like positioning of the diamond.  It gives an aire of confidence and elegance much like a queen would present on a throne.  The channel setting serves to accentuate and frame the diamond and therefore preparing the eyes for the diamond stone that has been chosen.

The Engagement Ring Setting is created of 18K White Gold with  24 carre diamonds totaling a minimum of 0.60 ct.  The prongs on the setting can take any diamond shape ranging from 0.50 carat to 3.50 carats.

Because the channel diamonds are a square cut I felt it was important to continue with the theme and thus I have selected a princess cut diamond for the engagement ring setting.  You also could have chosen an asscher cut diamond and that would also work beautifully.

This Princess Cut Diamond is a 1.92 carat premium cut diamond. I purposely chose a diamond just under the threshhold of the next whole number carat weight.  Doing this saves  you a few hundred dollars that can help you upgrade in the other characteristics like color or clarity. Believe me, no one will notice that it is a 1.92 carat diamond instead of a 2.00 carat diamond.

Since I made the wise decision to buy under the carat weight break I was able to pay up for this diamond’s G rated Color, VS2 Clarity,  Premium Cut and most importantly its GIA certification.

Your Investment for this Wedding Ring is:

• 18K White Gold Channel Setting – $1,100.00
• 1.92 carat Princess Cut Diamond – $13,570.00
• TOTAL* – $14,670.00 (*not including shipping or taxes)

**Please keep in mind that is an actual real engagement ring example that I have created. If this diamond happens to sell my example will no longer be valid for buying purposes. You can however choose something similar to fit what I have presented or another diamond more customized to your tastes.

Blue Nile Graduated Diamond Ring & Band

Today’s engagement ring is from Blue Nile. I designed it using the Design Your Own Engagement Ring” tool.

It’s a charming,  rather elegant and classy ring with many accent diamonds. They have titled it “Graduated Diamond Ring and Band” in platinum.

In this case we have chosen a diamond setting and a band that are made to go together.  The ring setting is accented with 10 round diamonds with a total carat of 0.10. The average clarity is SI1 and color is H.

The case of the band is also very similar, however there are 12 diamonds instead of 10. The number of diamonds and carats can vary depending on the size of the ring. This goes for the band as well as the setting.

These are rather standard characteristics. One doesn’t really need to place extraordinary stones into a pave setting since they aren’t really the stars of the show.

The diamond that I chose is a fairly nice diamond of 2.00 carats with  color of  H, diamond clarity VS1 and Very Good cut.    Although the setting can take a diamond size ranging from 0.20 to 2.10 for a round brilliant shape. If your tastes incline more towards a square shape diamond like an princess cut, emerald cut, asscher cut or cushion cut then the top of the carat weight range can be 4.50 carats.

The approximate price tag for the diamond stone, setting and band is the following:

• Diamond: $17,600.00
• Setting: $1,000.00
• Band: $1,000.00
• TOTAL: $19,600.00
