Engagement ring with diamond, the best choice!
Suppose you find the partner of your life and you want to pop the big question, if you look purely at the symbolism, diamond is and always will be the best choice!
In this article, I briefly explain why you choose a gold engagement ring with diamonds!
Why diamond?
Of course, I could give a history lesson on why you should purchase a gold diamond engagement ring but I won't go into that right now.
First of all, you should know that diamond is indestructible, no other (precious) stone has that advantage! Diamond has on the Mohs hardness scale nr 10, something harder than diamond does not exist! If we look 1 step down we find corundum like Sapphire and Ruby at No. 9. You would start to think logically what difference does that 1 step make? Well diamond is about 40 000 times harder than sapphire and ruby! So a great reason to choose a diamond engagement ring: durability!
Possessing knowledge gives two advantages: one judges less and one judges better.

A great example I can cite happened at a jewelry store in Antwerp that I worked for
. When people came into the store to buy a diamond engagement ring, they would look at their body language and ask if they knew anything about diamonds. Those who didn't know anything about it, could perhaps get a discount (at least that's what the customer was led to believe) but those who had really done some research about an engagement ring with diamonds would rather not be customers. The Chinese customers took the absolute crown with the most knowledge, some even brought a magnifying glass to look at the stone. The average well-behaved European very easily trusts the handsome look of the shop window and a seductive saleswoman!
Something that is common now is that people buy a silver ring with zirconia through ignorance. After a few weeks they come back in to the jeweler that the stone is damaged and dulled. Therefore, the ring in silver usually looks black and full of dents.
People then sometimes pay more money to repair the ring than a new one costs. Precisely because of its emotional value.
Golden tip: don't get caught by a pretty shop window or seductive saleswoman, do a little research on the Internet it is full of free information for your gorgeous diamond engagement ring find!
