Shopping for diamonds can be both exciting and overwhelming. Whether you're searching for the perfect diamond wedding ring, a stunning yellow-gold diamond engagement ring, or a classic lab-grown diamond stud earring, we've got you covered.
At Enalie Jewelers, we’ve been helping customers find the perfect pieces for over 30 years. Our reputation as the premier jewelry store in Orange County comes from our dedication to quality, craftsmanship, and treating every customer like family. Here’s a guide to help you navigate the world of diamonds and find that perfect piece you’ll cherish forever.
When choosing diamonds, the first thing you should know about is the Four Cs: Cut, Color, Clarity, and Carat.
Cut: The cut of a diamond refers to how well it has been shaped and how it reflects light. A well-cut diamond will sparkle more, making it the most important of the Four Cs.
Color: Diamonds come in a range of colors, from colorless to light yellow. The closer a diamond is to being dull, the rarer and more valuable it is. For example, the yellow gold diamond engagement ring looks best with a nearly colorless diamond, as the warm tone of the golden complements the sparkle of the diamond.
Clarity: Clarity refers to the absence of inner flaws, or inclusions, and surface defects, known as blemishes. The fewer the imperfections, the higher the clarity grade and value.
Carat: Carat is the measure of a diamond's weight. Bigger isn’t always better, though. It’s important to find a balance between carat weight and the other Cs to suit your budget and personal taste.
One of the biggest decisions you'll face is whether to choose a natural diamond or a lab-grown diamond. At Enalie Jewelers, we offer both options and believe it's important to know the differences.
Lab-grown diamonds are created in a managed environment and have the same physical, chemical, and optical qualities as natural diamonds. They are an excellent choice if you're looking for high-quality diamonds at a lower price. Our lab-grown diamond stud earrings are a popular option, offering stunning brilliance and durability, just like natural diamonds. Plus, they are a more sustainable choice, which is a big win for eco-conscious shoppers.
The metal you select for your diamond ring or earring setting can affect the overall look of the piece.
Yellow Gold: A yellow gold diamond engagement ring is a vintage option that never goes out of style. The rich, warm color of yellow gold enhances the brilliance of diamonds and gives a timeless, elegant look.
White Gold or Platinum: If you prefer a cooler tone, white gold or platinum are great options. They give a modern look and allow the diamond’s sparkle to be the star of the show.
Rose Gold: Rose gold offers a unique, romantic look. Its soft pink hue is both trendy and timeless.
