Choosing the Perfect Diamond for Any Occasion

Diamonds are generally not hard to come by, but knowing what type, size, clarity and other options that come with diamonds to choose can be a bit more difficult. While, you could always speak with the Nashville jeweler regarding which is the best option to go with, it can also help to know a bit more on your own. Consider these specifics when it comes to choosing the perfect diamond to go with for the one that you love, for any occasion. 

The 4 C’s of Diamonds Through a Diamond Grading Chart

The best way to know more about a diamond is to go through the 4 C’s that come with diamonds. These can provide a way for you to look at the diamond, and also be able to tell which one would be worth the money you’re spending on it, but also to know if it is something as beautiful as you wanted to purchase for that special someone. When choosing a diamond, speaking with the Nashville jeweler about it can also help.

Carat Weight - The size of the diamond can effect how it looks, or fits within a specific piece. Many times, people will want a larger diamond but if the color and clarity are minimal, then they find that this is cheaper, but the diamond does not look as nice as they'd like it too. Larger might not always be better in this case.

Cut - The cut of the diamond can affect the size of the diamond, as a whole. When it is a rougher cut, the diamond appears larger than it is. The smoother cuts can round off the diamond, and make it smaller, but less rigid at the sides. Wet cut diamonds have a more superior look to them, and they can cost a bit more. Ask the Nashville jeweler what they have available.

Color - The color is something that can generally be seen by the naked eye, depending on the specific one that you choose. There is colorless, where the diamond is see through, then you can go in levels of color, making the diamond look a bit more yellow tinted. The more color the diamond has, the less money it is going to be. Near colorless diamonds are a better value, where you can barely see any of the color at all.

Clarity - Clarity can mean a lot when it comes to choosing the perfect diamond. Flawless diamonds are the most rare to find, and also the most expensive. As you go up the scale, there are flawed diamonds at the end and nearly flawed towards the top. Generally, the middle flawed diamonds can only be seen through a magnifying glass, but the Nashville jeweler is able to show you this with theirs.

When considering which diamond to go with for the one that you’re purchasing it for, always consider a high quality Nashville jeweler that is able to help you from beginning to end. At Draper’s Jewelry, we can provide the finest diamonds for the occasion, while also ensuring that you get the quality that you request when you come in. Speak with us today.

How Engraving Can Make Any Piece of Jewelry Mean More

Engraving is not always something that is offered through a Nashville jeweler, simply because it requires special machinery and attention to detail to perform. This may not be a specialty that the Nashville jeweler can do. However, finding one that can provide this type of service allows you to choose a piece of jewelry, engrave it with anything you'd like, and then give a gift that means a little more than just the piece alone. 

Learning more about engraving can put you in a better position to purchase something much more than a piece of jewelry. 

The Engraving Process

The engraving process is generally an easy one. It uses a specialized drill, as well as a specific font and number and letter order to place what you’d like on the piece of jewelry. This process is sometimes not offered due to the Nashville jeweler not having the specific drill needed for the engraving to take place. However, some jewelers will take pieces of jewelry that you currently own, that did not come from their shop, and engrave them for you, if you wish. This allows you to take something meaningful already, and add a little extra to it for the person. 

How Engraving Can Mean More 

Engraving a piece of jewelry can mean more simply because you’re adding a little extra effort into putting something meaningful on the piece. You’re not just picking out the perfect piece for the person, but you’re personalizing it through meaningful words that you place on it. Engraving can allow you to have infinite possibilities when it comes to placing something on the piece that means something to the other person. You can provide them with a way to cherish, and remember the piece for some time through a Nashville Jeweler that can provide the service.
