subject: Multi-diamond Engagement Rings [print this page] If one diamond in a cherished ring is good, then a few more will be even better. This is the most important ring, possibly, that an engaged person will receive in their lifetime. Whether you have one or several gems in a ring, there are still a few things to keep in mind about the actual center of attentionthe diamond. Something called the depth percentage found on a grading report, will give you two separate measurements. One is in millimeters and is the actual depth of the diamond and the percentage is a proportion of how wide the diamond is relative to the depth and the value of the gem can depend upon this depth percentage.
The gem known as the diamond is defined as a crystal made up of virtually pure carbon (99.95%) and which has its carbon atoms arranged within an isometric crystal design. Diamond cutting is the process by which a rough diamond is made into a faceted unfinished stone. Dispersion or fire, is the way in which light is directed and therefore reflected. Components are broken down into spectral colorsgreen, blue, and red. These can appear differently, depending upon the light. If your ring has more than one gem in it, then the actual color of the diamond should be matched to the others. This is different from the always changing spectral color light.
3 Stone Engagement Rings can be created with emerald cut diamonds of different sizes. Two smaller ones can flank a larger central stone. This cut is rectangular or square shaped and it has cut corners as well. Gems can be eye clean, which means that to the naked eye they appear to be without blemishes. If you're looking at a gem which is a shape other than round, it's called a fancy shape. An unusual term for small fractures within these gems is feathers. The outline of any gem shape is called the girdle because it contains all other parts of the gem.
3 Diamond Engagement Rings may also contain a central larger stone which is cut into a heart shape and this can be particularly meaningful if offered on Valentine's Day. Sometimes, the larger central stone is flanked by two others of a smaller size. A man-made inclusion, intentionally put within the stone, may raise its clarity grade and these are usually created by lasers. A very famous diamond cut is called the marquis cut. This is a fancy shape that's elongated and with points on either end. A lot of estate jewelry may have rings which contain marquis cut stones because they were popular back then, as they are now.
