>Diamond Wedding Rings

Written by sudha on June 18, 2009

>Most people think that diamonds are usually the domain of engagement rings, diamonds are actually increasingly popular for use in wedding rings as well. Because the diamond is a classic gemstone which symbolizes love and fidelity, incorporating one or more into the design of your wedding ring is a beautiful symbol of your love for one another.

Styles
A popular choice would be a bridal set, which encompasses both a diamond wedding ring and a complementary engagement ring, designed to be worn together. You can also choose from a simple wedding band with small diamonds scattered throughout, or a three-stone design with diamonds that are roughly uniform in size for a classically beautiful look.

Pave settings are also highly popular for use as wedding rings. With a pave setting, the entire band seems to be created from nothing but diamonds. While these rings may be more expensive than other kinds, their beauty is undeniable.

The Cost
For example, a higher quality diamond will cost much more than a stone with a lesser quality rating, and larger diamonds will typically cost more than diamonds with a lesser carat weight. Synthetic diamonds (i.e., “fake stones”,) may be able to emulate the look of a true diamond without the hefty price tag.

The intricacy of the design and type of metal used will also affect the overall price of a diamond wedding ring, so keep this in mind when shopping for the perfect ring. You would also do well to familiarize yourself with the 4 C’s of diamond quality (cut, carat weight, color and clarity) which will help you when examining diamonds and choosing the one that is right for you.
