Diamond Education

Understanding diamonds is seen as one of the most difficult parts when choosing engagement rings. At Bespoke Diamonds, when shopping for engagement rings we give you the the option to choose your own diamond from over 1 million options including Lab Grown or Natural diamonds, carat weight, colour and clarity!

Know what you are buying

In many jewellers, you are presented with a ring that has been set with a diamond (sometimes years before!) and the salesperson will insist this diamond is the best option for you. This is often not the case and we have seen many customers sold a diamond that was inferior quality or more expensive than it should be.

To avoid this issue, learning a little about what causes a diamond’s price can mean you can compare like with like and choose a diamond that is right for you based on your preferences and budget. Below are a whole range of articles on everything to do with diamonds – try to at least understand the articles on Cut, Colour, Clarity, Carat and Certification.

If you are looking at Natural Diamonds, you should definitely also look at Fluorescence and our Natural Diamonds article too.

Of course, you can always contact us to discuss your diamond preferences and answer any questions!
