Diamond Rings

Check the Settings for your Diamond Jewelry

To judge the quality of the jewelry setting, pay close attention to details. Is the metal holding the stone evenly and does it have a smooth finish so it won't catch on clothing? Is the stone held firmly and square in the setting? Is the metal well polished with no little burrs of metal or pockmarks?

Inexpensive jewelry often is very lightweight to give you a bigger look for the money. If a piece is lightweight, pay special attention to the prongs holding the stone: are they sturdy? Do they grip the stone tightly? You won't be happy about the money you saved in gold if you lose your stone!

Solitaire Diamond Rings are a Popular Gift
