WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW---

When selecting a diamond ring for a woman, pay attention to the diamond's color, clarity, and cut, aiming for a bright, clear stone with minimal visible inclusions.

Why Diamond Rings?

Diamond rings are beautiful pieces that suit every hand shape and skin tone. Diamonds go well with nearly any fashion preferences and are suitable for nearly any occasion. A good quality diamond appreciates in value and can be a prized investment, suitable to sell at a good price if jewelry preferences change or to be passed as an heirloom to a new generation for many more years of glamorous wearing.

When choosing a diamond ring, great care should be taken to choose quality stones and to be sure the overall piece exhibits good craftsmanship. The ring should be cared for properly and stored appropriately when it is not being worn, to be sure it is always in outstanding condition and ready to be a beautiful accent for any occasion.

Often given to commemorate a special anniversary and to celebrate the couple’s successful marriage and ongoing commitment, anniversary rings are generally more elaborate than a first wedding ring, and may represent an upgrade to that significant ring.

• Three Stone Ring

Three-stone rings are highly symbolic and typically represent a couple’s past, present, and future with coordinated stones. The diamonds may all be identical, or the center stone may be slightly larger than the coordinating stones, but all three form a significant focal point.

• Eternity Band

A deceptively simple band with a full circumference of glittering diamonds, eternity bands may use diamonds of different shapes or create a pattern with coordinated shapes, such as matching square cuts and emerald cuts or ovals paired with round stones.

• Stacking Bands

Stacking bands are thinner, more delicate diamond rings worn as a changeable, customizable set. While some of the rings may be plain or simply textured, rings with small diamonds add a bit of glitter to the full stack or can be worn separately for a delicate look.

• Vintage Ring

Antique and vintage diamond rings have luxury style and are rich in history and symbolism. With different jewelry eras to choose from, such as the wistful romanticism of Victorian rings or the bold geometry of Art Deco rings, every woman can love a vintage diamond ring.

My experience with Vintage Diamond Ring was so excellent I really had to think about it for a while. First their selection of jewelry is profound. The quality is superior.”

 Claude P verified buyer

• Inspired Ring

When a woman is a fan of a particular celebrity’s style, a royal family member’s flair, or the creativity of a particular movie or television show, a diamond ring inspired by that style can be a welcome addition to her jewelry collection.

• Promise Ring

A promise ring doesn’t have to be a “pre-engagement” ring, but could represent any promise such as ongoing fidelity, a commitment to a career, renewing romantic vows, or pledging support for a personal choice between partners or a promise a woman makes to herself.
