Princess cut diamonds

You might ask- why are some diamonds well cut while others are not? Well the answer is quite simple. As you may know, diamonds are cut from the original crystal that mother-earth has yielded right out of the ground. Some of these rough crystals are ideal for cutting well-proportioned diamonds and some are not. A diamond cutter will determine first, what shape may be cut from that piece of particular rough crystal to maximize finished or polished weight. Depending on the cutter's goals, he will ultimately decide if he wants to cut for beauty or weight retention.

When cutting for beauty, usually more gem weight is lost or cut away. Hence a diamond that is well proportioned will command a higher price at market. A diamond that is not as well proportioned will command a lower price at market.When selecting your ring you should compare the cost of settings made from the same metals. Platinum settings will always cost more than 14K or 18K gold. Make sure the heft or weight of the rings are comparable. These days a great deal of jewelry is made over-seas. Rings or settings made over-seas are typically very light in weight and may not stand the test of time that a heavier weight, domestic ring will last. Obviously a heavier weight will cost a bit more.
