The choice of a diamond wedding band signifies more than selecting a straightforward ring; it involves an intricate choice of a relentless emblem of devotion. A wedding band is considered a piece of jewelry that is worn almost every day, so it has to be appealing and meaningful. Rare Carat is here to help you make this important choice as effortless as possible by guiding you through the main features to consider when buying a diamond wedding band. 

 

Recognize the 4 Cs of Diamonds 

 

Before getting into styles and designs, let us explain the 4 Cs of a diamond: Cut, Color, Clarity, and Carat weight. All these factors influence the beauty, brilliance, and overall value of the diamond. 

 

– Cut: Cut affects how well light will be reflected. A diamond with an exceptional cut will be brilliant and sparkly. Rare Carat promises that all the diamonds we offer are well cut, assuring you that your wedding band will be able to capture light beautifully from all angles. 

 

– Color: Diamonds appear in a range of colors starting from colorless to moderately yellowish or brown. The lesser color a diamond has the greater its value. It is wise to select diamonds graded G-H for balance between value and beauty.

 

–Clarity: Clarity relates to the internal or external imperfections known as inclusions. Fewer inclusions increase a diamond’s value. For a wedding band that will last a lifetime, we advise choosing diamonds with the least amount of inclusions visible to the naked eye.

 

– Carat Weight: This is the weight of the diamond. Bigger diamonds tend to dazzle more, but as and when you choose a diamond, do keep in mind that its beauty is not just determined by its carat weight.

 

At Rare Carat, we provide you with diamonds that best fit your wedding band needs and value all the four C’s. With our platform, we help you compare diamonds based on these attributes and aid you in finding that perfect wedding band within your budget.

 

Choose the Right Band Material

 

The diamond is only a piece of the puzzle, the material is equally important. It needs to be strong enough to endure daily activity while enhancing the brilliance of the diamond. The most commonly used metals for wedding bands are:

 

– Platinum: One of the most opted metal for diamond wedding bands owing to its durability and ageless sheen. Platinum is hypoallergenic and does not get tarnished. Meaning, your ring remains stunning for ages.

 

– Gold: This metal is offered in the form of white, yellow, and rose gold. It has an elegant yet contemporary appeal. It is well-known that white gold sets diamonds beautifully, and it is no different for wedding bands, giving them a polished elegance.

 

– Palladium: Unlike platinum, palladium is more cost effictive. However, it bears a lot of the same features. It is also hypoallergenic and does not tarnish.

 

While selecting the material, take into account your budget, preferences, and Occupational Health and Safety lifestyle. A strong, durable metal should stand the test of time, just like your love will.

 

Settle on the Style and Design

 

Your diamond wedding band should be tailored to suit your style. The options are numerous, from classic solitaires designs to the ones having multiple diamonds skillfully interwoven. Some popular styles favorites are:

 

– Eternity Bands: These bands represent never ending love as they have diamonds encrusting them on all sides. This makes it a good contender for a wedding ring.

 

  

– Half-Eternity Bands: If you’re inclined towards a more low-key design, half-eternity bands only feature diamonds on the upper half of the band. It strikes the optimal balance between shine and understated elegance.

 

– Bands Inspired By the Vintage Era: For those who appreciate retro designs, vintage-inspired bands are often set with intricately detailed designs with past eras in mind.

  

– Contoured Bands: If you already have an engagement ring that you want to complement with a wedding band, contoured bands are tailored to fit perfectly around the engagement ring.

 

At Rare Carat, we offer various styles and designs for your wedding band so that everyone can find something they like. Our collection is carefully chosen so that you will always find an elegant and timeless piece, whether it is a solitaire diamond or a vintage inspired design.

 

Evaluate Your Lifestyle and Comfort

 

As a wedding band is an everyday item, wearing something comfortable means longevity for the ring, making it essential that comfort and durability is given priority.

 

 – Comfort Fit: Almost all wedding bands have an attribute dubbed “comfort fit” where the ring’s interior is rounded. This detail makes the piece comfortable enough for daily wear.

  

 

– Durability: For individuals with active jobs, durable metals like platinum and palladium are recommended due to their ability to resist wear and tear.

 

– Width and Thickness: The band’s width and thickness can be adjusted according to your liking. A thicker band will feel weightier on your hand, while a thinner band can feel understated and gentle.

 

We know that comfort is important which is why at Rare Carat, we offer different designs with comfort fit features and also defend against scratches to make sure your wedding band stands the test of time.

 

Set a Budget

 

A reasonable budget should be set before investing in a diamond wedding band. Diamonds do cost a considerable amount because they signify great commitment and love. At Rare Carat, you can also find an array of diamonds and wedding bands that suit different budgets and offer the best value for money without skimping on quality.

 

Why You Need Certification

 

If you consider buying a diamond wedding band, guarantee that the diamond is accompanied by a certificate from a gemological institute, for instance, GIA (Gemological Institute of America) or AGS (American Gem Society). This certification confirms that the diamond has been graded accurately on the 4 Cs. Rare Carat only sells certified diamonds given their commitment to high quality and socially responsible procurement of these products.
