Diamond Engagement Ring: 1 Carat Or 1 Carat?

Saturday, December 20th, 2008

The difference can be up to 90%. Does that sound shocking? Let’s take a look at how one carat of diamond can differ so hugely from another carat. And no, we are not talking about real diamonds versus fake diamonds or imitation diamonds. We’re talking about the real thing.

When you are going to buy a diamond engagement ring, granted you want a diamond to show your love and nothing else will do. However, you have to keep your budget in mind. If you have a rather small budget and still want to buy a great looking diamond engagement ring, here’s what you can do. A solitaire diamond of good quality can be passed up for 1 carat of small diamonds which can be set in a cluster or a pavé setting. Depending on the size of the stones and the setting, you can get a diamond engagement ring for as much as 90% less.

Well, you don’t have to go all the way down the ladder when it comes to costs but what you should be aware of is the fact that you can get something that looks good in diamonds and yet costs much less. There are 1 carat diamonds and there are 1 carat diamonds.

The Ten-Table Diamond Ring

Monday, April 21st, 2008

Michael Strahan wanted a diamond ring with enough dazzle that could be seen from ten tables away. That meant ten tables in a restaurant. That would be a lot of dazzle in a huge uppity restaurant where the tables would be quite a distance away from each other. However, that was what the US New York Giants defensive end wanted and that is what he will be getting.

The seven-time Pro Bowl player was instrumental in the New York Giants causing a huge upset in the Super Bowl games when they beat the New England Patriots. Till then, the New England Patriots had been undefeated and the New York Giants’ 17-14 win over them was totally unexpected. So it really was a historic upset. An upset worthy of being rewarded in the best possible way – with diamonds. Is there really anything better to show one’s appreciation?

The ring that Michael Strahan will be getting from the New York Giants should make him ecstatic. It is a huge sparkler with 1.5 carats in diamonds. The Super Bowl Championship ring design has just been unveiled by the New York Giants. Set in white gold, the diamonds are a knockout. And they should quite easily meet Michael Strahan’s diktat – they will for sure be seen ten tables away!
