Carat Weight

3 carat diamonds are bigger than the average engagement ring diamond and are sure to make a statement and impress your significant other. The large size of your diamond will be very noticeable and make it stand out among the others

Shape

Asscher cut diamonds are step cut diamonds. Similar to the emerald cut, they have long rectangular faces that create a hall of mirror effect, however they are square instead of rectangular.

The large open table of an Asscher cut diamond means that any inclusions will be easily noticeable. Therefore, choose an Asscher cut diamond with a VS2 clarity grade or higher. However, a larger diamond will need an even higher clarity grade since inclusions will be more obvious on a larger stone.

Metal

Platinum is a very popular choice for engagement rings. Platinum is a white metal that is also extremely durable. Because platinum is too soft in it's pure form to be used for jewelry, it is usually combined with a small percentage of other metal alloys such as cobalt, iridium, ruthenium, or palladium.

Earth Grown Diamonds

Earth grown diamonds are mined from deep under the earth's surface where they have lain dormant for millions of years. When you hold an earth grown diamond, reflect on the immense journey this diamond has taken and the history it has endured.

A diamond starts out in the lowly form of graphite, such as you might find in the tip of your pencil. Over the course of hundereds of millions of years, the immense pressure and temperature produced deep inside the earth rearrange the carbon atoms into a crystal structure.

Then miners dig deep tunnels under the earth and collect the rough diamonds. The rough diamond looks nothing like the sparkly diamond you are holding. It has an irregular shape, is very dirty and looks dull. The diamond is then cleaned, cut into it's desired shape, and finally polished into the beautiful diamond you are now holding!

All Ritani earth grown diamonds are certified by either the AGS or GIA – the two most respected independent grading labs in the world.
