What should I pay attention to when buying a wedding diamond ring?
Buying a wedding ring may be the first time that many girls buy real jewelry for themselves. Here, I will introduce some problems that should be paid attention to when buying jewelry to help you choose your favorite wedding ring, because it should be an eternal witness of your love! First, what metal to choose? Gold and silver have been the most valuable metals for thousands of years. At any time, in any country and region, these two things are hard currency with collectible value and can be used as currency. So until today, many people still use them as the main material of wedding ring base. However, in recent years, as a more precious and beautiful metal, platinum has sprung up all over the world, and its sales in stores have also jumped to the first place. Moreover, the hardness of platinum is higher, and diamonds are not easy to fall on it. In addition, two alloys, platinum and rose gold, are very popular abroad recently. These two alloys are made of gold and a small amount of other metals, and their colors are brighter, richer and more uniform than gold. There is also a kind of flower gold, that is, the alloys of different colors are woven or wound into different colors and patterns, which is both beautiful and elegant, and highlights the personality, which is of great treasure value. The purity of gold is generally measured by "K". The greater the number of "K", the higher the purity, and 24K gold is pure gold. Under normal circumstances, 24k gold will not be selected as the base material, because pure gold is very soft, easy to wear and break, and gemstones are easy to fall off when embedded in it. Therefore, most of the rings sold in shopping malls are 18K gold, which has high hardness and can meet the use conditions as a base. In Europe and America, the most popular base is even 14K gold, which we despise at home because of its high hardness. 14K gold ring can be worn for more than 50 years, so the wedding anniversary of the elderly is called "golden wedding" in the west. Second, pay attention to "4C" when buying diamonds. The western proverb says "a diamond is a girl's best friend", and China also says "a diamond lasts forever, and a diamond lasts forever". Although many people also choose other jewels as engagement rings, such as rubies, emeralds or pearls, diamond rings are the most fashionable choice at present. Pay attention to the "four Cs" when choosing diamonds: cut-cut, clarity-clarity, color-color, carat-carat. Cutting: The cutting of diamonds is extremely important, which directly affects the value of diamonds. Only the standard cutting method can show its brilliant light and achieve the perfect combination of clarity and color. The cut diamond is usually spherical or conical. There are many shapes of cut surfaces, such as square, rectangle, hexagon, circle and ellipse, but the most popular one is the simple hexagon, and many of its cut surfaces can better show the light of diamonds. Cleanliness-Cleanliness: Diamonds are crystallized from mantle magma deep in the earth, which has undergone geological changes for hundreds of millions of years and has various natural traces. The color, size and position distribution of these marks have different degrees of influence on the value of diamonds. There are often defects on the surface or inside of diamonds, such as bubbles, cracks, feathers and so on. The fewer flaws, the higher the grade of the diamond. Generally speaking, the clarity of diamonds is divided into five grades and ten grades. Color-color: The color of diamonds ranges from precious colorless, rare light blue and pink to common light yellow. The more transparent and colorless the diamond is, the more white light can penetrate, and the more colorful it is after refraction and dispersion. The whitest diamond is grade D, and the others are grades E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M and N in turn. Carat: The weight of diamonds is measured in carats. 1 carat equals 0.2 grams. One carat is divided into 100, such as 0.75, which is also called 75. Diamonds with the same weight will have different prices due to different colors, cleanliness and cutting. For example, a 2-carat diamond cannot be an ideal choice if it is cut elegantly, its shape is outdated, there are many bubbles and its clarity is low. A diamond weighing only 1/2 carats will be more attractive and more expensive if it is colorless, high in purity and adopts the most popular cutting. Where to buy a ring is an eternal witness of your love and commitment. If you are going to buy it, you'd better go shopping with him. The romantic scene of proposing marriage to a girl seems rare because she kneels on one knee and takes out a ring that has already been prepared from her arms. Nowadays, most young people get married for a long time. If you go with him, you can choose a ring that you both like at the expected price. There is no doubt that it is best to go to a reputable and long-established jewelry store to buy jewelry. Compared with other stores, the style is more complete, the workmanship is better, and the most important thing is the authenticity. In addition, the sales staff have received formal training, can give satisfactory answers to your questions, and can also put forward valuable reference opinions according to your actual situation and needs. Their after-sales service is generally in place, such as free restructuring, polishing and cleaning of jewelry. If there is any quality problem after purchase, it will be repaired, replaced or even returned free of charge. In addition, in some jewelry stores, if there is a new style on the market, you can exchange it with the original ring, and you can get a brand-new ring with a little money. If the wallet is not bulging enough and the budget is tight, it is a good idea to buy it at a discount mall during the holiday. Shop around, especially expensive items. The price of the same thing will vary greatly in different shopping malls. In order to attract customers, some shopping malls offer big discounts. Moreover, counters of different brands in shopping malls can also have discounts or VIP discount cards. The whole calculation can also save a lot. But the price is low, and the service may be reduced.
