Understanding Diamond Quality – The 4 Cs of Choosing Diamonds

Before selecting a ring, it’s helpful to familiarize yourself with the 4 Cs—the fundamental factors that determine a diamond’s quality and price.

• Carat Weight
  This is simply the size of the diamond. A higher carat weight increases both the visual presence and price of the diamond.
• Cut
  The cut determines how well the diamond reflects light. Masterful cuts maximize brilliance, while poor cuts can make a diamond look dull. Forever Diamonds NY offers expertly cut diamonds for maximum sparkle.
• Color
  Graded on a scale from D (colorless) to Z (light yellow). Colorless diamonds (D-F) are the most valuable, but near-colorless (G-J) options offer great value.
• Clarity
  Clarity measures imperfections (inclusions and blemishes). Diamonds with fewer inclusions (IF, VVS1, VVS2) are more valuable, but slightly included (SI1, SI2) stones can still appear flawless to the naked eye.

Choosing the Right Diamond Ring for Every Occasion

Engagement Rings

The engagement ring is one of the most significant jewelry purchases you’ll ever make. Your choice of engagement ring will have everlasting significance. We specialize in both natural and lab-grown diamond engagement rings, with diamonds arranged in the following styles.

• Classic Solitaires – Timeless and elegant, featuring a single diamond.
• Halo Rings – A center diamond surrounded by smaller stones for extra sparkle.
• Three-Stone Rings – The three diamonds usually symbolize the past, present, and future of a relationship.
• Vintage-Inspired Rings – Features intricate details like filigree or milgrain.
• Custom-Designed Rings – Very special pieces created to match your vision.

What to Consider Before Buying

• Budget – Set a price range before shopping. To make things easier for you, Forever Diamonds NY offers financing options for your diamond ring purchases. Get interest-free installments if you complete your payment within 12 months of the purchase date.
• The Wearer’s Lifestyle – If your partner has an active lifestyle, choose a diamond ring with a secure setting like bezel or channel.
• Metal Type – Platinum is durable and hypoallergenic. Gold (white, yellow, or rose) offers greater range in style. Choose your ring’s metal to suit your partner’s needs. 

Wedding Bands

Your wedding bands should be a glimmering symbol of your bond and are typically exchanged during the ceremony. You can make your statement, your way, with any style.

• Classic Bands – Simple, timeless metal bands in gold or platinum.
• Diamond Eternity Bands – Has a series of pave-set diamonds encircling the band.
• Half-Eternity Bands – Diamonds are embedded on the top half of the band. This is an elegant option available at a lower price.
• Matching His & Hers Sets – Coordinating styles for both partners.

What to Consider Before Buying

Make sure to choose a band that complements your engagement ring.

Consider a comfort-fit band for everyday wear.

Durability – Platinum and 14k gold are durable choices for daily wear.

Anniversary Rings

Anniversary rings should be a celebration of enduring love and conquering milestones together. These are a few popular choices at Forever Diamonds NY.

• Eternity Bands – A symbol of everlasting love, with diamonds surrounding the ring. They’re perfect for commemorating anniversaries, or even as a wedding band as discussed earlier. 
• Three-Stone Rings – Represents your journey together.
• Stackable Wedding Rings – Smaller wedding bands that can be added over each other over time. A new ring can be added with every major anniversary. 

What to Consider Before Buying

Consider upgrading the original engagement ring with a new setting or additional diamonds.

Request an engraving with a special date or message that holds special value to you both.

Fashion and Statement Rings

This is a treat for anyone looking to stay on-trend and add elegance to their everyday style and jewelry collection.

Cocktail Rings – Large statement rings featuring multiple diamonds or gemstones.

Custom Statement Ring Designs – A very special piece tailored to your taste.

A Few Additional Things to Know When Buying a Diamond Ring

Natural vs. Lab-Grown Diamonds

At Forever Diamonds NY, we offer both natural and lab-grown diamonds. Natural Diamonds, mined from the earth, are rarer, and hold long-term value. On the other hand, Lab-Grown Diamonds are chemically identical to natural diamonds, but more affordable, and eco-friendly.

Which Should You Choose? 

If tradition and resale value are priorities for you, go for natural diamonds. If sustainability and budget are your main concerns, lab-grown diamonds offer excellent value.

Custom vs. Ready-Made Rings

At Forever Diamonds NY, we offer a range of choices for both ready-made and custom-designed rings.

Ready-Made Diamond Rings are ideal if you need a ring quickly or prefer a classic design.

Custom Rings are great for those seeking a one-of-a-kind piece, with full control over design, setting, and diamond selection.

*Tip – Custom designs take more time, so plan well ahead if you have a specific deadline.

Ring Size and Fit

Getting the ring size correct is step one. It’ll help you choose the most feasible ring design for your needs as well. 

Rings can be adjusted, but increasing the size beyond two sizes may damage the structure. After gifting the ring, we’ll send a sizer with a return label to make sure you get an accurate fit. 

Ring resizing at Forever Diamonds NY typically takes 2-10 business days. Your ring will be safe with us, and we’ll present you a holding receipt when it's dropped off.

*Note that Eternity Bands cannot be resized.

How to Find the Right Size

You can use a ring sizer at home or visit the store for a professional fitting.

Borrow an existing ring from your partner for an accurate measurement.
