    In this video we will do a side by side engagement ring diamond size and shape comparison on the hand or finger. First we compare the different shapes at each size. Then we compare different sizes with each shape. I give you price comparisons from both brick and mortar stores and an online jewelry retailer that I will link to below. All along giving you different tips and tricks to save on quality diamond engagement rings.
    Before we move on you can see with this 1 Carat Marquise cut diamond from Kay Jewelers like other brick and mortar Jewelry stores you'd pay $15,900 but if you buy the same quality diamond from the link below this video you would only pay $5,260.

    When we decided to get married, my now husband couldn't afford an engagement ring as we ploughed all our money into buying a little house. We both turned 60 last year and my husband bought me a beautiful round diamond (with halo) platinum engagement ring. Honestly the most romantic experience of my entire life!

    I love the marquis shape, until I got it. Two pointed ends made it difficult not to scratch
    yourself, and others. Try putting on a pair of nylon hose! I was lucky not to ruin them before I got the hose into place. I had a 2ct marquis, along with a double halo band… I think I would opt for an oval shape stone at present. The rounded edges would be far easier on the hand.

The setting is a 6 prong gold skinny band with diamonds surrounding the mounting.

  • @greenshp
    @greenshp 5 лет назад +9

    Rick, I appreciate - as a woman - your comments about a diamond ring representing the woman's worth. However your history is a little skewed. The American custom of engagement rings really goes back to the custom of Anglo-Saxons (early Middle Ages) and "bride price". This was a sum of goods or silver given to a bride by the groom. It was not a dowery - which is something given to her family as payment for her. This was something that went either directly to the bride upon the wedding, or was given to a close male relative who then passed it to her. This was something valuable so that in the event the man deserted her (and children), abused her badly, or died, she would have some property with which to help herself. It was a sort of insurance against a bad marriage or irresponsible husband, or his death (although his brothers would also be responsible for her in that case, if he had any). The value of the bride price reflected her social status (and his) but also his willingness to see that she be taken care of no matter what. Today this law - and it was Anglo-Saxon law as well as custom - is remembered in the form of a ring. In the event the husband dies or marriage is dissolved, the ring can be sold and the "price" used to help the woman's financial well-being. This custom of the engagement ring that grew in the UK and America eventually spread to continental Europe and the rest of the world. (Interestingly, the Anglo-Saxon groom also gave the bride a "morning gift" - more valuable goods or silver, upon consummation of the marriage.)

      I’m in the same boat as you.

I still think I would go for James Allen or brilliant earth, but I could potentially be swayed to getting my engagement ring from my store specifically because of how amazing the life time protection services are

      Make sure your oval doesnt have any bow tie effect as well. That can be very unappealing depending on what you like. I personally feel a little color like a G is gorgeous on ovals. Going for something with minimal inclusions or atleast checking the inclusion patter is important as well.

      They can still technically be diamonds, but the re sale value is nothing. Dont buy into the expensive "real diamond," alternative.

    It’s really hard to see the rings and the brilliance of the diamonds with how far the camera is zoomed out. We don’t need to see those giant claws- we don’t care. Zoom in a bit.

      If it is too zoomed in you have nothing to compare the size with.

    Why is it that smaller, dainty size also happens to be the cute looking? O_0
