Trends in Diamond Jewelry

What Goes Around Comes Around

Some diamond jewelry is timeless like the 3 stone engagement ring, the 4 prong tennis bracelet, and of course the classic round diamond studs. However, new technology and ever evolving styles make for interesting innovations. Some of the new hot styles include 2 prong tennis bracelets, “u” style eternity bands and earring studs that include shapes like Princess and Asscher. As hot as those styles are they don't hold a candle to the popularity of micro pave. Micro pave is when small stones are set almost anywhere on a piece of jewelry.
Funny thing is some of these popular and hot styles aren't new at all. They've been around for years, it's just that recently they have been more widely sought after.

DIAMOND WEIGHT

Carat Size

Diamonds are sold by carat, (ct.) not to be confused with karat, (kt.), which in the United States refers to gold quality. Diamonds are weighed on an extremely accurate digital balance. One carat equals 100 points, which weigh 1/5 gram. When diamonds are mined, large gems are discovered much less frequently than small ones, which makes large diamonds much more valuable. In fact, diamond prices rise exponentially with carat weight. So, a 2-carat diamond of a given quality is always worth more than two 1-carat diamonds of the same quality.

PDE Says: To choose the best carat weight of diamond, consider her style, the size of her finger, the size and type of your setting, and your budget. Here are some things to consider: If you have a set budget, explore all your options and you'll find that there is a wide range of diamond carat weights and qualities available in your price range.

If you plan to wear the diamond everyday maybe you want something smaller then if you are getting a piece of jewelry just to wear at formal affairs.

If you are getting an all around diamond eternity band keep in mind that she will feel the ring on both her middle finger and pinkie. So sometimes the biggest size isn’t the most comfortable size.

PDE Uses: All of our jewelry is available in any carat size you would like. From our loose diamonds to our eternity bands to our earrings we can make your dream item in any size you desire. Please if you don’t see the carat size you are looking for on our site please contact us.
