15 Diamond Engagement Ring Myths To Stop Believing
by Andrews J. JewelersJust as grand and
luring they tend to be, diamonds are up with several misconceptions too.
Especially, if you are about to buy a diamond ring.
You would read lots of
guides saying ‘how to buy a diamond ring’ and there you would read some false
information too.
So here we have
brought for you a list of few myths relating diamond engagement rings that you
need to flush down the drains:
·
Myth: Bigger
Diamonds Are Always Good-Looking
Reality: The biggest diamonds come with the biggest
myth. In real, size of the diamond is
never an indicator of its looks and its appearance depends on factors such as
color, clarity, cut and shape etc.
·
Myth: All
Diamonds Sparkle Brilliantly
Reality: The kind of reflection from a diamond depends
on its cut and the interaction of light with them. Thus, not all diamonds have
an elegant sparkling brilliance.
·
Myth: High
Color or Clarity Defines Brilliance
Reality: Again, the cut which the diamonds get is the
defining point of its brilliance and this has the least to do with its color or
clarity.
·
Myth: Carat
Weight Describes Diamond Size
Reality: Carat weight defines the weight of the diamond
and never its size. In fact, the depth of the cut defines its visible size.
·
Myth: Diamonds
are Indestructible
Reality: Sure they are indestructible, but they are
prone to chipping against sharp objects, which mars its outer appearance.
·
Myth: Recycled
Diamonds Denote Bad Luck
Reality: This is just a societal delusion which is
highly prevalent. Needless to mention, this is nothing more than a myth.
·
Myth: A
Diamond Ring Is Worth A Fortune
Reality: If you think that the diamond rings would eat
up your three months’ salary, visit a good online store such as ‘Andrews
Jewelers’ and you would find branded, Verragio engagement rings and wedding
bands at extremely cheap prices.
·
Myth: Round
Diamonds Have The Best Appearance
Reality: As a proof, search for cuts such as
rectangular ones, heart cuts, square cuts, and
oval cuts etc. You would yourself know the truth.
·
Myth: Inclusions
May Break Your Diamond
Reality: Inclusions in your diamond are spoilers of its
beauty and could lead to chipping. However, they never lead to a complete
breakage.
·
Myth: Fluorescence
In Diamonds is Not A Good Sign
Reality: Fluorescence in diamonds is a natural feature and
it has nothing to do with its overall quality.
·
Myth: Yellow
Diamonds Are Valued More Than The Others
Reality: Again, this is purely a myth and all kinds of
diamonds are valuable.

Myth: Blue
Stones Are Sapphires and Never Diamonds

shades, not all blue precious stones are sapphires. In fact, there are many blue
brilliant diamonds too.

Diamonds In Bulk Would Save You Money
Reality: Diamonds are never cheap and if you get a
stone too cheap, the chances of it being
fake are significantly more.

Shop An Engagement Ring With Your Partner
Reality: Nowadays, even the better-half who gets the
ring may even help the partner in choosing the ring.
