Carat Weight

4 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

Pear-shaped diamonds, also known as teardrop diamonds, deliver stunning sparkle in a unique shape. With a brilliant, 58-facet pattern, distinctive curves, and single point, the pear is a hybrid of the round and marquise styles. This elongated diamond shape tends to look larger than it actually is.

With pear-shaped diamonds making up 2.2% of all Ritani diamonds sold, they are an unusual and eye-catching shape. Typically worn with the point facing down the finger – away from the hand – they have a flattering, elongating effect.

Pear-shaped diamonds are also a popular choice for custom jewelry, such as earrings and pendants.

If you would like to make your pear-shaped diamond appear larger, opt for a halo setting. A halo setting will also provide more sparkle. Or let this unique diamond shape stand out on its own with a solitaire setting.

The pointed tip on a pear-shaped diamond makes it prone to chipping. Purchase a setting that will protect the tip of the stone.

Metal

Yellow Gold is a very popular choice for engagement rings. It works particularly well with fancy yellow diamonds or diamonds with a low color grade. The yellow metal will complement a yellow diamond very nicely and will mask the sometimes undesirable hue of a low color diamond.

Although yellow gold looks yellow like the color of gold, it is usually mixed with other alloys such as copper and silver, since pure gold is very soft and easily bent or scratched. The purity of gold is measured in karats. 24K (karat) yellow gold is 100% gold, while 18K yellow gold is only 75% gold.

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.
