How Precious is Forever ?

To this day, still probably the best engagement ring that everyone wants, are those rings with diamonds. As engagement rings are so cherished personal items, almost nothing could top the shine and luster of a diamond gemstone. 

For this reason, diamond appraisals are very much sought after by those who love jewelry, especially those who are about to present an engagement ring. Just as when you shop for certain items that you carefully read the label, that purpose is pretty much served with diamond appraisals.

The Value of Forever

For the uneducated and the unfamiliar, diamond appraisals serve as the determination of the true value of a diamond, whether it is a loose or a mounted one. One may need to distinguish Diamond Appraisals from another document that deals also with diamonds – a diamond certification. 

The latter only analyses the quality of the diamond and assigns grade numbers to the qualities that are in it. Whereas, diamond appraisals include information about the shape, type of metal used if it is a mounted diamond, synthetic or natural, whether it is hand-made or machine made.

Diamond appraisals are commonly used for insurance and re-selling, but they are also used for jewelry repair. As mentioned earlier, diamond appraisals contain a lot of important information and these can be very useful should the need arise for you to take that diamond for jewelry repair.

Some of the questions that can be answered through diamond appraisals, which are helpful for the jeweler, are the following:

• Was there temporary or permanent treatment applied to the diamond?
• Is it real, man-made, color altered, loaded with filler, or worse fake?
• Is it damaged?
• Was it cut correctly?

By being able to answer these questions through a diamond appraisal, one already has knowledge in hand on what to expect when he takes the diamond to be checked or repaired.

Engagement Rings: The Promise of Forever

Engagement rings are one of the most cherished personal items one could ever own. For you guys, can you still remember how you carefully and sneakily you designed the proposal? How you staged it to be perfect in every aspect and detail, culminating in saying the magic words while displaying the engagement ring for her to see.

For most women, remember how you were beyond 7^th Heaven when you realized this was the moment, he was about to pop the question, and true enough as you finally saw that beautiful engagement ring come out of that cute little box.

Keeping True to the Promise 

Because engagement rings are such important keep sakes, taking care of them is of paramount importance. While a diamond can withstand a lot of wear and tear, the frame may not be that durable. For this reason, it would really come in handy if you knew where to get good jewelry repair.

Probably the best place for jewelry repair for your engagement ring is with the jeweller who made it. Depending on the arrangements you made with the jewelry shop, they might offer you special deals for your engagement ring, as compared to a walk-in outsider who did not have his ring crafted here. The jeweller is also likely familiar with the designs and patterns that may have gone into making the ring.

If you are not able to go to the jewel shop that fashioned and crafted your engagement ring, you might want to go to one with the most experience. Engagement rings with diamonds can be very tricky to repair as should there be flaws and inclusions, a failed repair attempt could result in the damage getting worse. Make sure the one who will do the repairs on your engagement ring knows exactly what he is doing.
