The Most Un ique and Outstanding Marriage Proposal Suggestions

By Irene Beckwith


Diamonds are indisputably beautiful, and few rings are as striking as eternity designs. Despite size and style limitations, there are many variations of eternities to choose from, so long as the couple acknowledges the ultimate purpose of the ring: to celebrate the eternity they hope to share with a love as unending as a circle of diamonds.

Setting Styles Because eternity designs have very close-set stones, setting choices can be limited. Prong settings give the ring the appearance of being composed only of diamonds, similar to a pave setting. Channel settings are popular because they are easy to manufacture and hold gems securely. Bar settings place a bar of gold or platinum between each gem or create a pattern among the stones, while more elaborate styles may have curved-S settings, bezels, or even figural settings such as vines, leaves, and flowers.

Diamonds are the most concentrated store of value that exists. They are tangible, portable and liquid investments that investors make privately. Investors can use diamonds without decreasing their value and they pay no property tax on their investment. Diamonds are a long-term, risky investment.

Their value is based on their rarity, which can fluctuate with the discovery of new sources and the exhaustion of old mines. Investors willing to venture in this field and eventually be successful, must first invest time in learning about diamonds.

Diamonds can be bought loose, which means free of any mountings or set in a piece of jewelry. Loose diamonds are more liquid because if you need to sell one, you won't need to find someone who likes the setting. They are also much easier to assess and evaluate before purchase, something very important when buying with investment in mind.
