As someone who use to sell diamonds and engagement rings in college, most people can’t tell the difference. I suggest looking at sizes in increments of .25. For example, if you want 1ct consider .75 to 1. Quality is another big factor, such as dark sports, cracks, stains, etc. The rock can be 1ct but if the quality is shitty, it will look shitty no matter what. Lastly, cut is important too. If you want a sparkly diamond but can’t afford the best quality go with radiant. Maximum sparkle and hides flaws. Asher and emerald cuts require good quality for maximum sparkle or else it will look dirty and dull.

While you are correct in basic concept if I squint, a + a word which begins with a vowel = an, I can’t find an example of this where a has not been replaced with an in the original text :) 2. “an”, not “as”. An is what you use when the word after a starts with a vowel e.g. “an orange. As is what you use to introduce a metaphor, a comparison, an alternative for because or something occurring while another thing is also occurring. E.g Param corrected their grammar as they thought they saw a mistake in the original poster’s text. “As” has many uses but it is *not* an article. 3. “Ends in and vowel” should be “in a vowel” - because and is not the correct word here and vowel doesn’t start with a vowel so an is not the correct word either. 4. It should also not be “ends in a vowel”, because the letter the word after a ends with doesn’t matter, only the letter it begins with. I hope this is a sufficient demonstration that before you start correcting others, you should relearn basic English. 😂

Diamonds are actually not expensive or rare at all, they just price them up because of the emotional value we put on the engagement ring.

@tealeafs3824

Жыл бұрын

Umm...no. Diamonds are expensive because it takes skill to cut them in a certain way. Not all diamonds are cut the same. Plus, is about purity too, the clear the diamond is, more expensive it is. So we have purity+cut+the metal used for the ring band(gold/platinum)+the uniqueness of the jewellery +brand. The brand may add up more than a third to the price, for example Cartier, which is one of the most prestigious houses out there. So a diamond rings price has nothing to do with anything emotional, and once you try to resell it, its value drops considerably.

My engagement ring is like .77 or something like that and everyone thinks it’s a full carat. 🤷‍♀️ It’s still beautiful and I still love it!

Just so everyone knows, 0.95 is still confused a carat. In American Jewelry stores, 0.95-1.11 is considered a carat. The only way to know the exact carat is if it has a certification card and not all diamonds have cert cards. Also, unless you change the quality of diamond (color and clarity especially) as well, it's highly unlikely you'll save 30% going from 1.00 to 0.95 or even 0.90.

Just be wary of a sub-1 carat weight Diamond with a ‘1 carat spread’ which means it’s as wide as a 1 carat would be if it was cut perfectly. The wider shape means it’s not as deep and the light won’t reflect properly inside the stone = less fire or brilliance

I’m a diamontologist and 0.95 is legally and technically considered 1ct. There is absolutely not a 20-30% discount for buying a diamond of the same quality that is .05-.1 smaller than an exact 1ct. It’s irregular to even have a diamond cut and polished to exactly 1.00ct.

Actual GIA educated gemologist of 13 years here… a diamond weighing .995 can be sold as a carat, but a .95 is NOT a one carat diamond. When all other variables are constant, the discount on a .95-.99 will be minimal. After carat weight, most expensive factor in a diamond is clarity. IMO this is where you can drop a grade to save money IF you are shopping for a brilliant cut stone (round, oval, pear, radiant, etc) But even that is not so simple. Most common diamond order is a 1 carat (H color and SI1 clarity) so the price on that will be a little less flexible than the same diamond but (I color, VS2 clarity) Also, everyone wants a XXX cut grade, but a diamond with a VG polish grade will be virtually the same to your eye unless you grade diamonds for a living.

13 years together, 9 years married, a home and a kid… happy as the day we got engaged! My ring isn’t even a diamond- it’s moisanite. Less than $230 for the set. The money doesn’t matter.

"Freddy Frugal, professional cheapskate" - Cameron Geller

My boyfriend wants to propose with a ring pop, and he said if he did, it could start a tradition of him giving me a ring pop every year on our anniversary

Yeah, because all retail workers are required to tell the truth.

Man, videos like this make me happy that my girlfriend finds the whole idea of shelling out on these things unnecessary. We got basic gemstone rings as we prefer a pop of color, and it works just fine. When we die nobody’s gonna care about who has a 16 carat ring or not

Best tip I have for saving money on an engagement and wedding ring is, you don't actually need one.

"I've been doing this as long as i've been doing this."

hold up i thought diamonds on rings were supposed to be pure af-

"I have been doing this as long as I've been doing this"

If she needs an expensive ring, we can just stay friends

Remember guys every kiss begins with mmmKay. 😂😂😂😂

When she ask u better tell her the truth😂😂😂😂she’s not stupid😂😂😂😂

Also, get a lab-grown diamond if you are going to get one. Not only will it be higher quality for whatever price point you purchase at, it's guaranteed to not be a blood diamond. There's probably a lab that grows them in your area. You can get exactly the diamond you want and then get a setting custom-made to your girl's choosing for less money than buying a mined diamond off the shelf.

Avoid engagement rings. Buy your SO an engagement sword!

"hello there im here to purchase an elden ring please, but i've got a limited budget. instead of $60 i would like it for $0

Me who goes with the 0.05 carat: 🗿

Even though I'm still 12, I'm saving this for the future

The way I thought he was gonna pull out a real carrot😅

The best saving is to not be sucked into the engagement/wedding ring scam. Prices are jacked up for materials that are essentially worthless.

Unless in a pinch and you need $$$$

If someone EVER proposed to me, i want the ring to be a ring pop. I don't care if it doesn't make sense, I've never had any😭

Man, ill be happy with a ringpop

Him: "I've been doing this as long as I've been doing this." Also him: *been doing this for 1 day*

My husband did this. I have three princess cut stones. And he got them in .3, .4, .3. so they add up to 1 ct but since he avoided the .5 marker he paid a lot less.

For real tho. I work with diamonds every day, and unless you pull out the calipers and have a dimensions table, nobody is going to be able to see that a set stone is a little lighter weight. There are so many cut differences that can even make 2 different 1ct stones look like different sizes.

Tip #1: If you never get married you save 100% on the ring.😅
