Most of the princess cuts come in square shape. It is a popular choice for Solitaire engagement rings that count on a single diamond to make a statement instead of the use of accentuating stones.

Diamond Engagement Ring Style: Vintage Engagement Rings

A woman’s jewelry is a reflection of her personal style and there is perhaps no jewelry piece for which it is more important to match that style than her diamond engagement ring.  For women with a love of history, chivalry and days gone by, a Vintage Diamond Engagement Ring is just the thing.

The antique style of a vintage ring can include many design details that evoke romance.  Two of the most recognizable are Filigree and Milgrain.


Filigree


Delicate and intricate designs in gold, silver, or platinum, often described as lacy in appearance.  Filigree work is the ultimate in romantic, vintage style.  Filigree can be soft, light and feminine, with delicate leaves and hearts, or more geometric, with an angular lace pattern.


Milgrain




A thousand grains is the literal translation of this term, which originates from the French mille grains. It refers to the delicate beading in the metal along the edge of a jewelry design.  It is often used to frame a gemstone or add extra intricacy to a filigree design and is a prominent feature in vintage engagement ring designs.
Vintage styles often also include scrollwork, curving along the band or surrounding the stone.  And the halo setting, with small diamonds in a ring around the centre stone, is frequently combined with vintage details for a gorgeous antique look.

Regardless of the details, a vintage diamond engagement ring is a distinctive and beautiful choice that, for some women, is the perfect expression of their personal flair and love of romance.

Getting it Right when Buying Diamond Earrings

There’s an old saying: “You can’t go wrong with diamond earrings.” Well, it’s a nice sentiment but like any clothing accessory, there are certain rules worth keeping in mind. You have a lot of decisions to make and while the results are bound to be dazzling, all results are not equal and some earrings will suit you better than others.



The Size of the Rock

Let’s consider the size of the diamond for instance. Large colorless diamonds are of course more expensive but cost isn’t the only consideration. You also have to consider practicality. Where do you intend to wear these earrings? If you are buying earrings to wear at parties then bigger is no problem. Larger diamonds go well with dressier events. On the other hand if you want to slip them on in the cool light of day, you may want something smaller, subtler, less gaudy etc. As always, context is everything. The size of a diamond is measured by its unit of weight; carat. The carat weight of diamond earrings refers to overall weight. In other words, the weight as distributed between both earrings.


C is for Compromise

The value of a diamond is determined not only by carat but also by color, clarity and cut. Often you will find yourself compromising on some features in order to gain in others. For instance a diamond that is well cut can make up for deficiencies in clarity. Like most purchases, the final outcome will be a compromise between cost, quality and instinct. More often than not, emotion plays a key role.

Buying Diamonds Responsibly: Ethical Sourcing

When you walk into a jewelry store in Vancouver, you want to be sure that the diamond earrings or engagement ring you buy come from ethical sources. Nowadays we’re much more conscious about where things come from. The world has grown up and become wise to the exploitation which exists in many industries.

How do I know the diamonds I buy are “conflict free”?

The Kimberly Process is a scheme initiated jointly by governments, industry players and civil society. It was set up in 2003 with the aim of preventing conflict diamonds from entering mainstream markets. It allows customers reassurance that their purchases are not funding illegal activities in other countries.

The scheme implements a close scrutiny of diamond imports, requiring rough diamonds to be transported in secure containers and accompanied by a Kimberly Process Certificate. Imports can only occur from participating KPCS countries. Seventy-four countries participate.

From its inception Canada has been a major backer of the scheme and has passed successive legislation to control the import and export of rough diamonds.  Canada has the added advantage of an indigenous diamond supply, and is now the third largest global supplier of gem quality diamonds.


When you walk into a jewelry store in Vancouver, you demand ethical and responsible practices. Fame Diamonds takes the time and the effort to secure your peace of mind. When you purchase our diamond earrings or engagement rings, you can have complete confidence in their certified quality, traceability and integrity.
