Your Guide to Buying Two Stone Diamond Rings

Two stone diamond engagement rings are becoming increasingly popular as customers look to purchase unique fine diamond jewelry items. While some two stone diamond rings will appear as a variation of the classic solitaire diamond engagement ring, others will have a distinct 21st century look. Some may also contain multiple other diamonds, such as small diamonds running in between the two diamonds or several small surrounding stones accenting the two larger center stones. This article will give you some useful guidelines on choosing your ideal two stone diamond engagement ring.

When choosing a design for your two stone diamond engagement ring, you will surely be spoilt for choice. The important thing to bare in mind when choosing such a ring is the lucky girl you are buying it for. Does this person prefer a classic or unique look? Do they like large diamonds or several smaller diamonds? Here are just some two stone diamond ring styles that are popular today.

Similar to the solitaire diamond engagement ring, this design allows you to wear a classic diamond ring while also giving off a distinctive look.

Dare to be creative with several smaller diamonds either accenting the center stones or running in between the two main diamonds. For example, this 18k white gold two stone diamond engagement ring with I color and VS clarity diamonds weighing 0.56 carats has five small round diamonds running in between the two triangle cut diamonds.

A well-crafted bezel setting will often give the appearance of the two diamonds in the setting being one large diamond. For example, this 18k white gold bezel setting heart shaped engagement ring initially looks like it contains one larger heart shaped diamond when in fact it contains two pear cut diamonds weighing a total of 0.4 carats.

If you have purchased a diamond or diamond jewelry piece in the past, you may well be familiar with the four Cs: cut, carat weight, color and clarity. Here are some tips to choosing your two stone diamond engagement ring according to the four Cs.

This refers to the shape of the diamond. Two stone diamond rings should have two stones the same shape, with a vast choice of shape available, from classic round diamonds to triangle cut diamonds.

In an online listing of a two stone diamond ring, the carat weight in the description should include the combined weight of all the diamonds in the ring, including surrounding or accent stones. When choosing your ring, try and get the individual carat weight of each of the main diamonds. when matching the diamonds, it is important they have similar measurements rather than a similar carat weight to each other. We advise that the two diamonds should not have a greater difference than 0.1 millimeters.

From fancy canary yellow to fancy ocean blue diamonds, as well as white diamonds, you can be as innovative as you wish when choosing the color of your two stone diamond engagement ring. When buying two stone engagement rings with white diamonds, make sure that the two stones are within one color grade of each other. You may also choose two diamonds of different colors. For example, this 18k two tone gold triangle cut two stone diamond engagement ring with natural light fancy yellow & white diamonds looks great. The two tone white and yellow gold setting means that the two diamond colors complement each other.

The clarity of the diamond you choose for your two stone diamond engagement ring depends on your budget and the carat weight of the diamonds you are considering. For example, if you prefer to have larger diamonds but have a modest budget, you should probably choose lower clarity grades such as SI2-I1. Similarly to when choosing the color of the diamonds, the clarity of the diamonds should be within one grade of each other.
